To paraphrase a borrowed couplet, “Richmo: beauties by the score Vied with belies frorh Baltimore.”” The german was led by Mr. John D.

Apropos of this, Mr. Miller was the victim of a joke which his Washington friends consider toc good to keep. After the performance he stated to the writer that a lady sitting in the second row cf seats had evinced no interest in his efforts, and, fearing that she was provoked or an- noyed with his performances, he fairly laid himself out to please her. He strove to get an approving smile, but while ali others were apparently delighted, she never gave the slightest intimation of pleasure. I asked for a description of the lady in question, and, receiving it, the enigma was soived. I simply said: “I don’t wonder; she ie quite deaf.” Mr. Miller immediately set up the ci- days. Eminent speakers are on the pro- gram for each day, and interesting and profitable topics have been assigne®. eararene tenes FIRST DEFEAT FOR LARNED. Im His Second Meeting With Wrenn the Champion Wins. Larned experienced the pangs of defeat for the first time this season in the Wyan- dot invitation tourney at Chicago yester- day. Champion R. D. Wrenn turned the trick in a three-set match, which was hard fought at all stages. The “Wrenn nerve,” which is becoming proverbial, enabled the ae ress! champion to win in the final brush of what Faas ereanive euchre party will be given | 145 considered the decisive match of the tournament. Only Nisbet now stands be- tween Wrenn and the silver tankard. Once before Larned and Wrenn have met this year, and the laurels went to Larned. With the score 4—2 in his favor in the de- ciding set, Larned showed traces of ner- vousness, whereas Wrenn played with ad- mirable steadiness. The frogs was — tal Wrenn turing the next four games in succession. Larned left in the af- ternoon for the east, where he will rest for the national tourney next week. Before his match against Wrenn Larsed disposed of the tle with Eaves by taking the deciding set by a score of G—1. Eaves and Mahony were pitted against each ‘other in the second match. Mahony showed bet- ter form than in the other contests, but was defeated in three sets. Mal has a bad hand, which has troubled him greatly in this week's matches. Miss Green, a Texas beauty, excites much admiration by her horsemanship and skill on the wheel. In the former accomplish- ment she is ably seconded by Miss Mc- Donald of Berryville and Miss Marstella of Washington. 2 Among the many Richmond guests ts Mrs. Edgar Gunn, who will be remembered as Miss Daisy Miller of Washington. A slight flurry was occasioned this week by a strike among the waiters, led by a picturesque individual, who was dubbed “Lord Byron” by the guests. But within two hours of the time notice was served on him Manager Brown Was en route to Washington, whence he returned with a new set of men, who immediately replaced the malcontents. A disposition to riot was squelched in its incipiency, and everything continues to move serenely, while the strikers are left to ponder over the loss of wages, regular meals and numberless tips. Unlike many summer resorts, there is here no scarcity of young men, not a few of whom are cadets, whose tasteful uni- forms possess a wonderful potency.
