nn.s,ble meeting Of Mclaughlin and
wuams In another battle. The men

Icngyood n Williams at Newport,
and naturally the outcome or "A third

following the Seabright and Newport
tournaments and preceding the national
championship.
Mclaughlin evidently has come to the
conclusion that he has had enough play
for the lime being and rather than 20
stale will rest until next week. The
res, probably will do him n good deal
more good than any practice he could
have had down here, and !; Is likely
that Williams and some OF the Others
will follow his example. G.ithn said
las, week at Newport that he surely
would stay out and he thought the other
Cslfornians might do so too because of
the strenuous campaign out on the IA
c!hc coast this spring.
None OF the matches to-day proved
especially sparkling, although some pi
