passes all the preceding weeks in general
interest for, in addition to the certainty
that It will afford a chance to see good ten
mis-, there is pleasure OF welcoming the
players who in previous attendance upon
the Transmississippi tournament have
made many friends here. The fact that the
meet has acquired new dignity and ma
tional title also adds somewhat to the an
ticipation
