Jewish Feast Observed.

Shabuoth, one of the most import
ant feasts in the Jewish calendar,
was observed with appropriate ser
vices at Bikur Cholim Synagogue at
Z o'clock Tuesday evening and 10
O'Clock Wednesday morning. Raph-
ael Singer officiated, and large con-
gregations were present on both oc-
casions.
shabuoth, 'the Feast Of Weeks, !
also called ''the Feast of the First
Fruits, falls, according to the Jew
ish calendar, on the seventh of ST.
van, which occurred this year on
Wednesday, May %. It's name is de-
rived from the seven weeks which
elapsed between the departure Of the
children of Israel from Egypt and
their arrival at Mt. Sinai Like its
companion holiday, the Feast of Pass
over, it, too, has both an agricultural
and a historical aspect. With refer
ence TO the former relation, it com
| memorates the early harvest season
when the first of the wheat, baked il
two loaves Of bread, was brought as
an offering of gratitude, and as q
/
goodness of God. Historically it car
ries US back in memory to the pro
mitigation of the Ten Commandments
when Israel accepted the new mora
code. and religious legislation, ant
was aroused for the first time to ths
4 consciousness of its new spiritua
task and destiny. The Ten Com
mandments were the Magma Chart;

freedom, Moses found it necessar,

/ shabuoth has distinctly moder1
and indispensable appeal to the ind

victory by score of 4 TO 8. In the sec

Mclaughlin in Line for
Coveted LOngw0Od Cup

the twenty-five years Of Longwood tour

nous opponent. Clothier's really clever
handling Of the ball went for naught.
Mclaughlin was always in line. reeling
of six straight games for the set at 10,
during which he allowed Clothier only
eight points.
With the cool determination character
istic or Clothier's work on the courts he
entered stubbornly into the rallies. Rare
" IN his career has the tall Philadelphia
played better. Yet good as he was Nc
Loughlin was always trifie faster. In
the closely contested games the swiftness
and suddenness Of McLoughlin's attack
and change Of position literally swept
Clothier off his feet. Twice In making
quick turns and long reaches for the ball
Clothier fell. They were hard jolting
tumbles. too, and Il was feared that he
had hurt himself He did not complain,
however. and continued pluckily 10 the
end.
The attempt OF Clothier to come back
into his old championship form has been
watched with considerable interest by the
critics and followers Of the game here.
Il was the opinion after the match to-
day that there are few In the East who
can stem the tide OF the Californian i'll
yaslon this season, as Mclaughlin held
the match safely once he had started his
game into action.

II remained for Miss Low, a ffteen-
year-old schoolgirl, TO enliven the third
day OF the championship lawn tennis
tournament Of the Westchester County
association on the courts of the SlWanoy
Country Club, OF Mount Vernon, yester-
day. Miss Low made her debut az a
tournament player. and, while she did not
win her game, was so strong as to make
II evident that all Eastern girls need IS
encouragement IN order 10 give Miss
May Sutton, Miss Brown and the other
Californans a stiH battle rGr the cham
pionships.
The tall and graceful givl was drawn
against Miss Juliet Leach, an experienced
player. OF the New Rochelle Tennis Club.
The latter was compelled to use all Of
her strategy In order to score on her
passing shots before she won the match
at 7-6, SIS.
The court covering OF Miss Low af-
forded a revelation to the gallery, which
was not acquainted with the cIeverness
of the siwanoy girl. She retrieved all OF
Miss Leach's best shots on the run. She
fought the games splendidly through the
two long deuce sets before Miss Leach
was successful In bringing off the win
ming games out OF the spirited rallies.
Another siwanoy player, Miss Holden,
also scored by defeating Mrs. Charles r.
Porter at e. 81 Among the other
women competitors were Mrs. Dudley A.
Britton, OF the Bronxville Athletic Asso-
cia ton, and Mrs. w. +. Toucey.

From the beginning OF their match N.
