LAST ASSEMBLY.

ident of the union, Holland j. Wilson,
and held the interested attention of his
audience until well past 9 o clock in
the delightful discussion of what he
characterized as Every dry subject
The Vermont Legislature.
Mr.. Maurice is a man of pleasing per-
sonality and genial presence, cordial
and approachable; a man who has had
somewhat extensive opportunities for
observing the legislature at Montpelier,
both from the inside as a member of
both houses, and from the outside.
He dealt at first somewhat faeetious-
" and otherwise with the personnel of
the last assembly. characterizing Mr..
Cudworth of Londonderry as perhaps
the nearest to leader of any of the
members, although expressing the opln-
ion that there was no real, universally
considered leader among them.
In genial manner he dealt with some
of the outstanding characters, magni-
flying their love of being heard, although
this characteristic sometimes as in most
bodies, developed into something akin
to nuisance.
The last assembly was, in the speak
or 5 opinion, not a constructive body or
a destructive one. but just an average
legislature, more noted for what it re
fused to do than for what it really did
His explanation as to the working of

bills, the smoothing up of diction. etc.

to an outsider especially informing.
| The speaker, a man of strong convic
tions, spoke in derogatory terms OF
much of the legislation which is con
stantly going through the Legislature
and onto the statute books concernin:
the educational system, or machine, o
the state
Mr. Maurice decriad emphaticall,
the radical deficiency in regard to tn
meager training in mathematics in tn
schools, and the consequent lack in tn
graduates of real practical knowledg
which would fit them for business posi-
tions, Notwithstanding so many years i
the schools. In his Judgment there mus
be radical changes in order that the out
fitting of the boys and girls shall

The implication was that Vernon
should as always, lead in all such mat
tiers and not trail behind the reall
best thinking along such lines.
All in all. the evening was an espec
ally profitable one. fittingly closing a
interesting and helpful series of gait
erings, and auguring well for the SUI
cess of the next season

willard did not minimize the fact
that he would have quite a scrap on

MURRAY EXTENDED
NMEETING DOYLE

Conrad B. Doyle, washington's best
tennis player, is receiving all sorts Of
boosts today for his win, with Fred
II. Harris, in the finals Of the sec
tional doubles championship at CO.
lumbia Country Club, over Ballard
Moore and Dudley Morgan. of Chevy
Chase. But that isn't all.
After Boyle and Harris had met and
defeated Morgan and Moore on the
Columbia courts yesterday by rs, 6-l
and Ga, someone stepped up to the
one OF you to come down to Chevy
Chase and meet Lindley Murray in an
exhibition match right away"
You go, Fred" said Connie, I'm
pretty well all in"
mo. you go. Connie" said Harris.
u think the match you play with
Murray will do me lot of good"
II there is anything Connie Doyle
likes IL il 10 get up against a first
class player. Doyle and Murray know
each other well. Whenever Murray
comes here he hunts up Connie and
they generally have a fine argument
The national champion lie a first-cIass
sport.
D0gAG ~ lHED0s
The prospects OF going up against
the national champion after three
tough sets OF championship tennis
would be enough TO discourage an or
binary player. Not so with Doyle.
And. after a brief rest. a shower
and a change Of clothes, Connie
jumped into an automobile and was
speeded down to the tournament
courts at Chevy Chase, where a large
crowd waited expectantly for the best
District player to battle the national
champion.
And il was q sprightly battle.
Doyle may have been fresher in
other matches, but he more than held
his own with Murray. The players
got fairly well warmed up in the FIRST
set, which went TO Murray at 6 to 4.
Was GrueIing Set.
Then began one OF the most Cruel
ing sets ever staged on the Chevy
Chase court. Murray was not in his
best form. Neither was Doyle. for
that matter. but the brand OF tennis
was quite up To that usually fur
nished at Forest Hills OF Seabright
in midsummer
The players won their service until
the score stood at Sail. Then Dolye
crossed Murray's service. and Muir
ray came right back and took Doyle's
service TO even il Up. The match was
replete with speedy play. sharp cross
court chops and drives, alternated
with some aggressive overhead work.
At one point the champion was
saved from defeat by a peculiar play.
Doyle had the score lilo and his
advantage on Murrays service.
Ball Drops Over.
A sharp sideline cut found Murray
out OF position. He swung at the ball
and, with the point almost counted
for Doyle, succeeded in clipping il
enough to make II hit the top OF the
net and bounce over.
Both men were pretty well tired
out when the score was brought TO
l3-sll. On the toss Doyle won, and
it was decided TO terminate the match
on the next game, which Doyle won
after a deuce. On total games Muir
ray won nineteen. while Doyle won
eighteen. On total points Murray
anneXedy 1914, while Doyle scored 121.
