been a tenement house. Inhabited
principally by foreigners. The lower

herd that win be highly profitable as
producers.
II the product OF the dairy Is cream
or butter. the heller calves may be
raised largely on skinned milk and
grain without a great deal OF expense.
The secret OF raising calves by hand
successfully Is in taking especial care
that the stalls and pals are kept
clean: that the calf is not over-fed;
that there is no great change In the
quantity Or temperature OF the MIX
fed the calf at each feed; that there
Is a chance for exercise where the
calf has access 70 water and salt; and
that the quarters are dry and Wen
lighted and ventilated. II these pre-
cautions are taken al all times. there
Is not much danger OF loss. but one
exception may prove fatal.
Ground corn and oats makes an ex-
celleat grain supplement 10 the
skinned milk. and should be fed dry
Where a number OF calves are being
fed by hand. stanchions are very con-
venient. The calves can be put IN
their stanchions. as shown in the &c
companvfng illustration. and fed their
skinned milk and grain. and after
their mouths have dried. they can be
allowed TO run loose In the pen. Tn
der this management they do
nicely and very seldom form the hatil

saw Gustav F. Touchard. of New York,
retain the championship from Connie, B.
Doyle. Of the Bachelors Club. in the
challenge round of the mems singles in
the annual spring invitation tournament

pion, captured the title from Miss Marie
Winner, of this city, in the women's
singles. Each Of the winners received
Handsome. prizes for their victories
Touchard finally won from Doyle after
four hard sets. the first three Of which
went for extra games. The scores were
es, S-6 is, and 81 1t was a great
battle. Both players were at their best
and played a remarkably steady game.
Touchard deliberately wasted many
points in order that he might save him
self for the next few games. when he
came to .he front with a burst Of speed
and won many points by his puzzlins
backhand lawford stroke On the other
hand, Doyle played the game of his life,
and was especially strong and accurate
in the first two sets. In the fourth, how
ever. he proved too strong, and many
balls were hit about eight inches back
Of the base line, which cost him many
valuable points. Doyle showed a great
improvement with his backhand stroke
over that of last year.
Wins by Accurate Placement.
In the ladies' singles Miss Rotch won
rom Miss Winner by her accurate place
ments Of the ball. The scores were 6-3
and rs. The match was marked by long
rallies. and often brought out many
rounds Of applause from the enthusiastic
gallery. Miss Winner put up hard fight
to retain her title, but she netted too
many balls, especially in the first set.
Miss Rotch had good service. and
played mostly at the base line. She re-
ceived a handsome cup. donated by Gil
bert H. Grosvenor. of the club.
The finals In the mixed doubles were
also decided. H. E Doyle and Miss Marie
Winner defeated W. H. Connell and Miss
