SOUTHAMPTON. n. Y. Aug. 1s.-with
everything ready there was no possibil-
ity of beginning the lawn tennis .tourna-
ment to-day on account of a persistent
driIzle. There started yesterday a wind
storm such as the old settlers here call
a "Dry Easter" which before midnight
turned into a downpour that made out
door life to-day out of the question.
There was a small gathering Of tennis
enthusiasts this afternoon at the Mead
ow Club, hoping that conditions might
be favorable for the start of the tourna-
ment, but there was only disappointment
in store for them. The players who ar
rived this morning will have as hosts
during the week Mr.. and Mrs. Goodhue
Livingston, Newell w. Tilton, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. L. Worden. Mr.. and Mrs. James
