to look for a new partner. The choice of Dawson was foretoid some time ago owing to the fact that the two men had played together previously in tournaments and were thoroughly fa- miliar with each others style.
 While Mclaughlin was not put to the test in the Long Beach tourna- ment, it served at least to show that in Dawson he will have running mate who will prove worthy. Dawson was made to bear the brunt, the attack in practically all the matches, opponents preferring not to risk the proves sof the former champion. Dawson stood up we'll under the fire, and critics gave him much credit for the victories won. Under the circumstances there was little opportunity to get line on the play of Mclaughlin.
 In the finals Mclaughlin and Daw. son faced Thomas Bundy and Cliff ford Herd. It looked strange to the spectators to see Mclaughlin and Bundy on opposite sides of the net after the many years that the two have played together, during which time they gained the highest honors in the tennis world.
 PLAY ON COAST.
 The 1916 football schedule of the Universit of California, as far as 1t has been compiled, shows that the To- cal collegians have pretty generally covered the coast from north to south and in the event that they are fortu' nate enough to be successful in their encounters will have reasonable claim to the coast title Additional games will be added to the list which vii include contests with the Olympic Club eleven and other organizations outside of the college teams.
 The schedule as arranged to dat follows: October IA, Whittier; Octo Der 21, University of Oregon; October 2S. Occidental College; November "A University of Southern California a Los Angeles: November II, St. Mary'' College; November IS, University oi Washington at Berkeley; November 30.

Katala lady writes to suggest that the newspapers ought remind the steamship companies that excursion rates
 should be offered Aaskans visit other parts of their territory The writer of the letter says that the companies make all kinds of rates to e tourists up herebut for the Alaskan who really interested in the country there abso lutely nothing doing in that line.'
 This is surely good suggestion, and that ought to be taken up by everyone The steamship companies would lose nothing and might drum up quite home tourist trade.
 Now steamship people, you hereby requested to look into ths and will not be the last time the request will be made It is really surprising that such excursion rates have not offered before Just think what lot of pleasure Alas kans could find in their territory if the cost only lower.-Seward Gateway

T TENNIS.

The success achieved by the doubles team of Maurice Mclaughlin and Ward Dawson, who played together at the recent sectional tournament held at Long Beach, leaves little doubt in the minds of tennis followers that this is the combination which will be seen on the eastern tennis courts in the event that Mclaughlin finally de cides to attempt to regain his lost court laurels. With Thomas Bundy out of the running because of busi- ness interests which demand his en- tire attention, Mclaughlin was forced

 Liner Classes.

SAN FRANCISCO. July Is. - Los Angeles is to hold bicycle day on July %. Friends of the wheel are planning a wheelmen's carnival which they hope will excel anything of a sim liar nature ever held in this country. Relay and straightaway races of all kinds are to be on the program. There also will be a parade of wheels, in which all the old makes will be in line including the high wheeled contraption which immediately preceded the com. ing of the safety. A similar bicycle day was recently held in San Fran cisco. and it proved a big success.
 Time was when the thOroughfares in any large city that the army of bicyclists had selected as their main avenue of travel became a steady pro. cession of riders going and coming, and the pedestrian had to wait a favor able opportunity to take an opening to slip across to the other side. This was a decade ago and during that time the bicycle as a popular vehicle of amusement had been superseded by the automobile. While it's general use had diminished it is a long way from being dead The devotees of the bi cycle remain big army.
 From a utilization point of view it occupies a prominent place. Hun dreds of them are used by messenger boys in every city and it has been found to be a quick, cheap and eff cient means of transportation. Thou sands of working men, especially ir the rural districts, find them equally serviceable getting to and from theii work. besides combining a pleasan and healthful exercise.
 The recurring six day bicycle races which are held in various parts of tho country is considered the best evi dence that there is a wide popular in terest in these events. There ha' been considerable talk of having on' on the Pacific coast and the indica tions are that it will he staged.
