ment for the championship OF the Dis

round decided. Play began at 2:30
o'clock and lasted until dark.
The feature match OF the afternoon
was between Herbert ChiIds and c. L.
Alsberg, the former winning by the
scores Of 81, Ga. 2-3. The rain stop
ped the last set, and 1t will be played
on this afternoon. The match was nip
and tuck from start to finish, and
showed the players to be evenly match
ed. Mr.. Childs had strong service that
won him many points, while his oppo-
nent did we'll at the net.
Another good match was when Mat
ty'' Wood defeated ]. Howard, by 2-S
10-8, g. The second set was by far
the best. 1t seemed that the players
warmed up in the opener, but in the
second one the score went by the deuce
route many times. Finally, Mr.. Wood
used his puzzling back-hand drive to ad-
vantage, and won out.
A hard fight for the doubles is looked
forward to, as the Doyle brothers are

day afternoon to hear the first lecture
of the cooking school course. They be-
gan arriving an hour before that set for
the commencement of the programme in
order to obtain seats Of vantage, and they
continued to pour into the open doors
until the big skating rink was filled and
the galleries resorted to.
Many Pleasant Features.
F. H Kramer furnished the beautiful
floral decorations, and the Percy S. Fos-
ter Piano Company delighted the audience
with a prelude of musical numbers and
interIudes until the interesting afternoon
was at an end, and every housekeeper
heaved a sigh OF reluctance when she
gathered up her notes and tucked into
her bag the recipes which Mrs. Arm
strong had given of the delectlble things
she had talked Of and demonstrated.
I'VE are more than delighted with the
splendid representation of Washington
women. who were presnt to-day" said
Miss Sterling, who is Mrs. Armstrong; S
assistant because We have rarely had
an audience which was so intelligent and
Interested. 1t is not often that such
large crowd is in attendance upon the
opening day. The result certainly shows
that the Washington women read The
Washington Herald"
Col. Gardner. of the City Gas and Ap-
pliance Company, said that he was sur
Erised to see such a large attendance of
Washington women upon the opening day
Of the cooking school. The splendid
personnel of the audience impressed me,
he said. Comments OF a similar nature
were made by all the exhibitors, includ-
ing Mr.. Percy s. Foster, who extended
his COnEra atulatiOnS to The Washington
Herald upon the success of the under
taking. Il am delighted" he said, with
the character and size Of the audience.
The lectures and demonstrations tend
to show that cooking is on an entirely
different plane from what is thought
by many, and 1t can be done with inter-
est and dignity. 1t is not necessary to
wear old clothes and become ''mussed
up" as some believe.
Valuable Demonstration.
Mrs. Armstrong; talk to-day will be
on oven economy. She will talk on roast
ing and show how easy it is to use the
oven of the gas stove to good advantage.
and how many good things can be cooked
in the oven. To-day's menu is made up
almost entirely of things to be baked,
and she will demonstrate as she talks.
Large numbers of questions were asked
yesterday by persons in the audience,
and many remained after the lecture
to seek further information. Mrs. Arm
strong is prepared to give information
on domestic science and on subjects that
will not be touched upon at the lee
lures. But in order that she may not be
kept at the hall after the lectures. she
will request that those having questions
to ask will write them down on paper

Cambridge, Sept. 25-Harvardg opened
its second week of football practice

for fifty minutes, frequent substitutions
marking the play on both sides.

Crack Princeton Half Back in n
New Role.

Princeton, N. j., Sept. 25.-Despite the
boiling weather, the Tigers were put
through a long, hard afternoon of rudi-
mentary work and scrimmages. Pendle-
ton, Princeton's star and all-American
back last year, played quarter. and his
stay there looks permanent. Penfield is
being played at full back. His punting is
good. Some place will be found on the
team for him for this reason If his good
work continues. Dewitt and Sawyer have
first chance at halves. The other posi-
tions are still uncertain. Captain Hart
has an examination to get of his hands
before he will don togs.
The Tiger Cubs were called out to-day

Daily Sessions.
The school will be in session every
day, beginning at 2:SO o'clock Mrs.
Armstrong is one Of the most noted ex-
ponents of the culinary art in this coun-
try, and her instructions are all free.
She has been brought here by The Wash
ington Herald. She has much valuable
information for the housewives and
young ladies' Of Washington. Bachelors
are also welcome at the sessions, and
will be shown special attentions
The free cooking school, as conducted
by Mrs. Armstrong, has been a great
success in many OF the cities or the
United States, and in some places as
many as 1.SOO have attended at one ses-
sion. The plan urder which the school
Is held has proven a great attraction
and reports from the various cities in
which Mrs. Armstrong has appeared
have been of very fiattering character.
II is certain that the school will prove
highly popular institution in Washing
ton.
An Entertaining Programme.
The programme for the six weeks has
been arranged SO as to afford a we'll bal
anced and entertaining course In the way
OF preparing foodstufs and delicac!es in
the most appetlzing manner Mrs Arm
strong illustrates her cooking with an
interesting lecture while she is preparing
the articles of food. and the course should
be very profitable to any woman who de-
sires to be able TO cook well or add to
her present knOwledpe
Her ability to instruct in the art Of
cooking comes as a result of many years
Of close application and study Of the sub
jeCt. and to-day she is regarded as among
the foremost eXponents OF the culinary
art in this country. Her lectures are Of
general nature and are equally valuable
and interesting to the wife of the laborer
who earns 81 a day and the woman who
presides over the culinary department OF
the most aristoCratic mansion in the city
Mrs. Armstrong; practical demonstra-
tiOns and discussions are so we'll balanced
that they concentrate the interest of her
audience every minute OF the time the
lectures are being given. Different artI-
cles will be cooked and different formulas
will be used every day.

From Manila.

Provinces.
YUAN is CHINESE PREMIER

Washington. = The state depart
ment has virtually decided to send
a regiment of troops from Manila to
Chinwingtao, seaport in China, about
ESQ miles from Picking on the Gulf of
Pechili
The purpose is to perform an inter
national duty under the Boxer treaty
in keeping open the line of communi-
cation between Peking and the sea.
Peking Yuan Shi Kai is die
tator of China, he having accepted
the premiership after persistently de-
clining the position for more than
week He will assume the duties OF
his Office Immediately, it is stated.
The new premier received several
foreign ministers, including the United
States minister to China, William J.
Calhoun, who only recently returned
here In conversation with foreign
er, Yuan Shi Kali said he intended to
form a cabinet Immediately and en-
deavor to carry on the government by
gaining the support of as many prov
inces as possible, allowing the remain
der to retain their independence for
the time being. 1t would be his en-
deavor also gradually to win back
their allegiance to the throne.
Another important development in
the capital was the issuance of an
edict ordering Hsi-Liang, formerly
viceroy of Manchuria, to assume COM
mand at Jehol, where the summer resi-
dence of the emperor is situated, in
place of Putting, the Tartar general.
This appointment has led to the belief
in certain quarters that the court may
retire to Jehol, leaving Yuan Shi Kai
as chief executive until the opportuni-
ty arrives for the court to reassume a
measure of authority.
San Pao Chi, the viceToy of Shan
tung, has been elected president of the
republic which has been proclaimed III
that province. His acceptance of this
office is in accordance with the govern
ment's advice, and several other vice
roys have gone with the people in the
hope of influencing the provinces later
to renew their allegiance.
WI Ting-Fang, secretary of foreign
affairs in the provincial government of
Shanghai, and other noted reformers,
have sent telegram to the American
charge d'affaires here, asking the good
Offices of the United States in connec-
ton with the delivery of demand for
abdication.
