ably just for the love of it
But, fortunately, up out Of the
chaos arose the great man who
was to bring peace TO Ireland
His name was Brian Boru. Brian
gathered to himself an army Of
his countrymen who thought
more Of their country than they
did Of office under the foreigners,
and commenced operations. In
a little while he found himself
King of Munster, in a little while
again, King Of Mugs Half Of
Ireland. and by and by. with the
submission Of Malaohy, he be-
came Over-King, giving the
people, we are told, a just and
restful rule.
But in Brian's old age a con-
spiracy was Matched against
him between the Danes and Ger

body but still strong in courage
and resolution, met them with his
real Irishmen from Munster, Con-

near Dublin, and gave them the
blow which settled them for good

left more than fifteen thousand

- increasing the population of Atlanta to

rs of the spendidly prosperous conditions that
have blessed this region during the last decade.

but not rapidly enough. Another 100000 per-

WONDERFUL CAREER
 FOR McLoUGHLIN Young American Tennis Player May Some Day be Worlds Champion.

The defeat of Maurice E. McLough- lin by Anthony F. Wilding in the chal- lenge round of the English single ten his championship again proves the value of years of practice and experi- enee in the court game. Judging from the accounts of the final match be- tween the young American and the veteran New Zealander, it was the finished all-round play of Wilding that gave him the edge over the CaIiforni- an in the gruelling three sets won by scores of S-6 6-3 10-S
 In the fOrty-one games that conSti- tuted the match Wilding won twenty four to Mcl4oughIins S Seventeen, giving hlm margin of seven games, three of which were picked up in the second set. Slight as this margin was, it proved that the player fro mthe Anti podes held the reserve necessary to win at crucial points.
 Wonderful tennis player that he is, Mclaughlin met an opponent who in finish and fnesse was his master. Despite his sizzling and powerful ser vice and smashing the young AIneri- can found that Wilding was able not only to return his shots but to add to those returns the placement and pace which forced Mclaughlin to a defenS- i've rather than offensice attitude. He lacked consistency and failed on the ground shots which the New Zealand CT constantly fed him as a result of the carefully planned campaign based on Wilding's observa tions during Me Loughlin's play through the title tournament.
 There is in the defeat both honor and promise of greater excellence, however, so far as the American champion is concerned A youth, for Mclaughlin is scarcely out of his teen, a wonderful tennis career appears to be his future.
 In 1909 at Sydney he was defeated by Wilding, 3-6, S-6, 6-2, 6-S.
 Tennis players of the caliTbre Of the Dohertys, Larned Brookes and Wilding are not the development of a year, and few, if any of them, started with the natural ability and advantages posses sed by Mclaughlin, The Californian will some day be tennis champion of the world, barring accidents, but he will not wear. the laurels until maturi- ty and experience have steadied and rounded out his game

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET MORE BUoYANT.
Several SpeciaIties Advance from One
 to Five Points.

New York, July 25.-What promised to be the most comprehensive and far reaching movement in the local stock market since the abnormal dullness and low prices of the early summer was witnessed today, when leading is sues and numerous specialties scored advances which ranged from one to five points. The rise followed four consecutive days of more or less steady advance. during which period how ever, price changes were frequently so irregular as to make each days outcome somewhat uncertain
 Factors that contributed largely to the markets improvement included the higher prices for copper metal at home and abroad, a highly favorable Ger man bank statement. an advance in French rentes, d prospective large To- cal cash gain for the week, good Union Pacific earnings. further ease in time money accommodations, and more fla Vorabfe crop adYices from the north west. Of all these. it is safe to assume that monetary conditions were the most important It is understood that the Bank of England will in the course of the next fortnight strengthen it's gold holdings by some $2OO0o.OOO bringing it's holdings of the metal to almost record breaking figures and ex- citlng the hope of an early reduction of the discount rate.
 In the face of this fayorab budget Wall street was little inclined to pay heed to reports of a new antitrust policy by Washington or the spread of the strike in the Michigan copper mines. It even took for granted that today's developments in the affairs of the New Haven must rebound to the advantage of that system. Not a few gains were cancelled in the final deal ings, with marked weakness in Cana dian Pacific and to the tone at the close was rather uneven
 The general bond market was strong Tor the greater part of the session. but some or the government issues were again prominent for their new low bid and asked quotations, with actual sales of coupon fours under the previous low i quotation. Total sales, par value, were s1, ,975, 600.

HARvARD's TEAM OF 1885.
Parke Davis Says It HoIds Record for
 Consecutive Victories.

While the 17 straight victories SCOT ed by the Yale varsity nine of this season was an excellent stretch of playing, there remains no question re- Szarding the fact that it was not an intercollegiate baseball record. Parke Davis, the Princeton Statistician, has shown that the Tiger team of 1897 scored IF consecutive victories. Now comes William F. GarCelon, graduate treasurer of the Harvard Athletic as sociation, who goes Mir. Davis one better MT. Garcelon has prepared a record of the Harvard varsity nine of 1885, which shows that the crimson team won 26 out of 2T games played that season. ending with a straight run of 19 victories.
 The team, which was explained by Samuel k. WinsloW, now congressman from the Worcester district, consisted of the following players: Catcher, H. T. Allen, '86; pitcher, E. H. Nichols, '86; first base, w. W. Willard. '87 second base Clarence w. Smith, 'S6: third base, H. c. Beaman, '95 shortstop F.. B. WiestIin, S7; left field George w. Foster, '87; center field. Walker w. Edgerly, '86; right field, change pitch CT and captain, Samuel E. Winslow, 'S5; r. M. Tilden, '87; E. s. Litchdeld, '87; A. D. Clafin, '86. manager.
 During the 27 game season Harvard scored 2S0 runs to opponents 88. Eff teen of the 27 games were won by scores running innto double figures, while Tufts was the only team to se- cure a total which required more than one figure to express. The one defeat was administered by the Cochituate club, 3 to 1. During the run Of 19 straight Harvard defeated Princeton four times, Yale twice, Brown three times, Tufts twice, Amherst twice, Dartmouth twice, Williams and Trin- ity once each.

GRIEF HAS GOOD TEAM.
George Davis Believes It is Capable of
 Computing With Any.

"l never saw a smoother piece of machinery in my life than Walter
 Johnson in the box" says Geo. Davis. the d-time star infeider of the Chi caeo and New York clubs. I've seen :- lot of ball players in my time, and I was in the game many years my self I've seen some of the geatest pitchers of the last % years, but I've never seen a better worker than John son. He Is grace itself out there. New CT is there a false motion. He delivers the ball with all his great speed with out jerking himself or straining in any wal. l would give million dollars if ] could find his equal somewhere ana send him to Griff. As a matter of fact C-rih has a good ball club. I stayed three days in Washington and saw those games With the Athletics Well the Grihmen didn't win them all, but they showed that they knew how to play ball all right, and 3ts only a mat ter of time when Clark will have his team up there fighting for the pen aaut
 "TThat boy Foster at third base. even &ow after his illness, Is one of the best Sftle third basemeH I've ever seen. In some ways he reminds me strongly of Normand Elberfeld When Elberfeld was in his prime he was one of the greatest in the business, and many of his movements are now being shown by Foster particularly in tagging the runner at third. At this trick Kid FL berfeld was a past master, but Foster is just as good. Morgan is another good looking youngster at second base I played that bag myself a number ot years, too. you know. and the way he travels to the bag for throws or ground balls is beautiful. Morgan ought to be one of the best second basemen in the game before he slows up. He seems to know something about playing ball"
