LARNED SENSATIONAL
Until HE WEARS OUT
Sweeps Mathey Aside in First Two
Sets, Then Loses
Three.

CEDARHURST, l.. J.. July 1.-William
A. Larned. seven times national cham
pion, was halted in his coming back proc
ess when he was defeated at the Rock
away Hunting Club here yesterday by
Dean Mathey of Crawford, n. j.. in the
final round of the lawn tennis tourna
ment for the Cedarhurst cup. Larned
made a great fight and forced the young
ster to five sets before he was beaten at
10. &c, 6-3, Go and 6-1.
The veteran showed in the first two
sets all of the old skill that brought him
to the top SO often. The generalship
that he showed in those sets and the
masterful way in which he executed his
strokes made him look like a sure win
ne-; but, like many another veteran who
has tried to come back, Larned could
not last. During the first two sets
Larned passed Mathey with long drives
from back court.
In the third set Mathey found that his
only chance of winning was to take
chances, and he did with great success.
The former Princetonan came into the
net frequently and choked off all of
Larned's drives. Larned was very slow
In the fourth set, while Mathews speed
had increased, and 1t was evident that
the veteran would be beaten. Mathews
victory gives him a leg on the cup, which
was won last year by Theodore r. Pell.

contest ended in dramatic fashion, Bell
being counted out in the second round.
after he had been knocked down by
terrific blow on the jaw. AS re-
suit, Wells received thunderous APP
plause, as it was his last chance, and
defeat meant his extinction.
Nobody expected Bell. who stayed
twenty rounds against Joe Jeanette,
to crumple up as he did in less than
six minutes.
The contest was noteworthy. first,
for the fact that Rev. Everard Digby
acted as master of ceremonies, and
many of the principal seats were occu-
pied by fashionably dressed women. 1t
was announced several days ago that
q number of society women had bought
tickets for the fight, which led to a
lengthy discussion in newspaper col
umns as to desirability of women wit
Messing such contests. Mrs. f. Temple
ThurSton. who describes the fight for
the Daily Mail, writes in most en-
thusiastic terms of Wells display, and
tells how she trembled with fear lest

blow. should not rise again, and of her

that was unlucky enough to draw the
outside position. In fact, before the
course was changed somewhat no eight

was always the inside crew that finished
first. because of the disadvantages occa-
stoned by the tide and eddies for the
other. The course is one mile five hun
dred and fifty yards. and before its To-
cation was changed there was an acute
turn which caused distinct loss in time
and position to the outside boat. In an
evenly matched race it did not take
much of a handicap to defeat either of
the boats. as the course was entirely too
short to make up time and position once
they had been lost

 His father-in-aw, Eugene Zimmerman laughed hearti- y at the idea that the Duke had lost much money.
 Tt is absurd to suppose that he lost $2000O00 any sort of enterprise said Mr. Zimmerman. "IIe didn't have it to lose He didn't lose $2,000, and am doubt full if he lost S200'

 "The Duke,' said this man, 'is charming fellow, but he simply doesn't know the value of money If man proposes a likely scheme of any kind during a friendly evening the Duke will agree back it for any amount It to him to find out if his bank balance is large enough. He doesn't attend to little de- tails like that. The merrier the company the liberal his promises become There few things that he will refuse friend, and nothing that he will fuse to of the fair sex"
 In the meantime it is impossible to describe the misery and humiliation of his American wife in Eng land, where all the naughty peeresses and high per sonages of English society must be reminding her that her husband is keeping away from the and engag creditors.
