the same round. A. R. F. Kingscote and
J. {: Parke, and G. H. Dood and C. R.
Blackboard, were also victorious in this
round
Tilden looked invincible this after
noon, always holding command of the
situation against Garland. The latter
was steady and brilliant with his back
c0aft CO tactics but these were never
suihclent to offset the astounding
brilliance and aggressiveness of iii.
den,s tremendous work at the net.
The Philadelphian delighted the
great gallery by the variety of his
shots. He is a strong favorite to-
night to defeat Shimidzu tomorrow
because of his easy victory over the
Japanese at the Queens Club two
weeks ago.
Mavrogordato started we'll against
Shlrlldzu o-day, taking the opening set
at 6-3, as he both drove and volleyed
with telling effect. But in the next
tnree SetS the Japanese wizard got his
deep court drives skimming over the
net and down the side lines with such
amazing accuracy that Mavrogordato
continually was being caught out of,
position.
Mrs. Mallory was extremely erratic
against the deadly playing of Mrs.
Chambers, alternating the most re-
markable bursts of brilliancy with long
periods of faulty stroking, during
which she sent the ball into the net
with distressing frequency. The Brit
sh woman's play was practically error

Chall snger Defeats Rum
11ng Mate in Spanking
Breeze by 3 Min. Z Sec.
By lack Lawrence

Instead of not having enough wind.
as has been the case SO often in the
past, the two Upton Shamrocks were
greeted by a spanking sixteen-knot
breeze out Of the southwest when thew
went to the starting line off Sandy
Sock yesterday for their fifth trial
race. 1t was blowing so hard by the
time the starting signal was run up
from the steam yacht Victoria that
both the challenger and the trial boat
were forced to douse their club top
sails. They made the windward leg
under mainsails, staysails and jibs.
Yesterdays race was to have been
a windward and leeward affair of
thirty miles, but when the big green
sloops had reeled off fifteen knots the
velocity Of the wind had increased to
such an extent that it was decided not
to sail the other half of the contest.
Shamrock w defeated her running
mate over the ffteen-mile course by
three minutes and seven seconds, gain
ing the most ground on the beat to
windward. Her work on this leg Of
the contest was exceedingly impressive,
as it proved again that in going into
the wind she is a marvel.
The twenty-three metre boat had the
better of the jockying preceding the
sart and got away in the weather
berth. She crossed the line at 12:35:24
and the challenger at 12:35:4O. Both
went off on the port tack, and although
the fourth Shamrock got away to a
bad start she showed her wonderful
footing ability by walking through the
trial boats lee with ridiculous ease.
Jae starting line was abeam the
Ambrose lightship and the outer mark
was off the Shrewsbury Rocks. The
wind freshened rapidly after the start
and the lee rails of both racers were
awash on every hitch. The challenger
turned the outer mark at 1:29:5S and
the trial boat at 1:32:O9, an actual
gain Of two minutes and twentyseven
seconds. When the two boats filled
trial boat proved that she was almost
as good in this point of sailing as the
cup hunter. Both boats broke out spin
makers for the run and with their
wings we'll filed and white caps braRk,
ing all around them they made a great
sight as they raced for the finish line.
The challenger gained forty seconds
more on the leeward run, crossing the
line at 1:59:15, or two minutes and
hfty-one seconds ahead of the trial
horse. Her late start of sixteen seconds
brought her actual gain to three min
utes and seven seconds.
Sir Thomas Upton watched the con-
test from the spacious deck of the Vic
toria, where he entertained the City
Island fremen who saved the chal-
lenger when fire destroyed a greater
part of Robert Jacobs shipyarad.
The Resolute, defender of the Ameri-
cas- Cup, will leave Bristol, R. l., to-
day and be towed to Jacobs shipyard
at City Island, where she will be fitted
with new set OF Ratsey sails Other
alterations in her rig will be made
there and then she will be taken to
the Morse Iron Morks in Brooklyn to
be officially measured. The challenger
will also be measured there on July g..

Tennis Victor
In Two Straight Sets

The Sudden precipitation of mois-
ture" that hit the city yesterday
afternoon took all the snap out of the
Brooklyn championship lawn tennis
tournament on the clay courts of the
Terrace Kings County Tennis Associa-
ton, in Flatbush. Five matches were
started, but only one was finished, as a
result of the storm.
Percy L. Kynaston went straight
through his match with A. Cunning
ham in the fourth round, winning by a
score of 6-1, 6--2: Kynaston covered
his court we'll and Cunningham found it
almost impossible to get the ball-out
Of his reach. In the same round Fran
els 7. Hunter took the first set at 81
from j. w. Anderson and had won the
opening game of the second before the
rain came. Adolphus Bennett, the tall
Californian, scored a love-set against
c. Z. Cameron in the fifth round and
led at 4-2 on games in the second
when they had to make dash for the
