A few continuad despite the rain, but the conditions were not satisfac- tory, though the players were persist- ent. In the evening only a few second division games were played, and no first division contests. Welcome by Mayor. At 9.30 o'clock the formal opening took place with Mayor C. F. Thayer present to make the initial drive. He tried for the first arch, this being his second season in the capacity of open- er, but missed, and he then left the court to the experts. He had previ- ously welcomed them to the city. stai- ing that it was a privilege again to do so. He said he was always pleased o see the oxperts gather here, and this was also the feeling of the citizens of Norwich, in behalf of whom he ex- tended the welcome. He referred to the gama as one which required sci- ence and skill and that the coming of the players from various sections of the country is always pleasing to the local club. Rain Spoiled Schedule. THere were a number of game$ which were run off bafore it began to rain, but the schedule for the day was upset and will have to be made up toda Charles C. Cox, the undefeated cham. pion, arrived Tuesday evening and will get into the fray this morning. He has been doinz some practicing in prepara- tion for the tournament and will make it interesting for the first divisio: men. Clark Got Three Games. In the first division there were nin2 games playved Tuesday, and one-third of them was plaved and won by ex- Champion F. Edward Clark of Spring- field. He is showing great form this vear and has certainly made an excel- ient start which will help as the week gets older. His first victory was from King, in which he played a character istic game, taking every chance pos ble, which has brought victory for him in more games than this. King started out strong and made a home run with his second ball after missing the first arch with the leader. which later wa advanced to the center arches. By driving his ball through the seventh arch, when it was apparently tied up securely, Clark managed to hit King and made a long run, but slipped on an easy shot, and the balls changed hands saveral times until Clark steadied down and ran the game out. 3 He next had a game with Felton in which he was an easy winner, making his second victory for the day. Fo wag the next victim, and he was un- fortunate in losing possession of the balls after having made a home run on the Springfield wonder. Clark se- cured them and tied up the national secretary until he had run the game out, after which he took a rest for the remainder of the day and will start in this morning for subduing of other aspirants for the honor. Bosworth Gets One. Champion Bosworth was in attend- ance, but plaved but one zame during Tuesday. This was with Foss and re- sulted favorably to the champion, ai- though it was loosely played and a number of comparatively easy shots were missed. Ex-Champion Williams of Washing- ton is playing a good game, though he was given a hard fisht by Robinson during the morning. The latter is strong on caroms and succeeded ‘n getting & number of pretty shots, thereby, which worried the former champion, but after he struck his game the outcome was soon decided. r Prof. Jacobus lost his first game to King during the morning, but in afternoon he took a game from Kirk during the rain. This was watched with much interest, as both were handicapped by the rain. They would not mark up the zame and received a good soaking as the result. Prof. Ja- cobus lacked one arch of going out | and Kirk kept him worried for a lonz time, and it could have been his game several times, but he failed to make good, and after a grueling contest Ja- cobus ended the agony by winning. Jacobus Broke Even. Their game last year had a similar result. Second Division. In the second division Crowell of Brattleboro is plaving a strong gam= having beaten Miner and Adams, but he has A number of hard men to meet v This division is larger than the t and has more players than last vear. Joseoh Yonker started to play in’ this division, but decide® to drop back into tha third. but before this | decision was reached he had lost a game to Stockwell, who is plaving a clever game this year. Rodman of Philadelphia is playing a strong game. having disposed of J. E. Webb and Staclwell, but he lost a game to Miner. Whitaker is plso in fine fattle, his one loss being to'J. E. Webb, while he beat Thompson and Miner. In this division there is a new player this Rogue Tournament—Crowell Has Lgad in Second Division—Those Who Will Play For Van Wickle The weather was auspiclous for the | v Burns, of Meriden, who represents that club in the absencp of Rev. W. H. Kidd. < There were a few arrivals on Tues- day, L. C. Williamson of Washington reaching here, besides Messrs. Cox and . Burns. Today E. W.

Thompson., W. L. Robinsun and J. C. Kirk. They will settle all disputed points. 3 If it rains _this morning, it is prob- able that the annual meeting will be held then, but otherwise it is.believed it will take place this evening so as not to interfere with the games s0 much. o Van Wickle Contestants. It has been decided that H, T. Webb will play C. C. King for the first Van ‘Wickle ‘medal, and these games Wwiil take place during the evenings of thi week, by a vote of the last annua: meeting. Mr. Webb challenged holder a year ago and it has been de- cided that he will play for-it,.though others, including Champion ‘Boswort desired an .opportunity to’play. for it again, the champion having held it two years or more. - For the second Van Wickle :medal L. E. Whitaker, the holder, has Been chal 2dged by Woodruff Sullivam of this city and C. B. Crowell of. Brattleboro. Inagmuch as the former played for it last vear, it has been decided that Crowell will play the holder for it this year, T Evening Games. " There were a few games played in the evening, though there were no spectators because of the tain.’ Whita- ker beat Miner in easy fashion, while E. G. Adams of Kingston took his first gams from Prentice. 3 There was an_ interesting game be- tween W. L. Robinson and Mrs. Kep- hart which was won by the former af- ter quite a battle. He secured a rover and then the Philadalphia player be- gan to make trouble, but this was gradually overcome and the game was finished soon after 10.30. Games on Tuesday. The results of the games plaved m the two divisions on Tuesday werz as follows: First division—Williams beat Robin- son, Kirk beat Felton, E. Clark beat King, Bosworth beat Foss, King beat Jacobus, E. Clark beat Felton, H. Webb beat Robinson,-Jacobus beat Kirk, E. Clark beat Fos: Second division—H.Wahly beat Pren- tice, Rodman beat J. E.

SPOLRRNR I The third division will include Flocken, Symington, Yonker, and probably a fourth player. Hunting- ton, it is thought, will play if he re- turns from Chicago in tine. 3 The rain will help the ground con- siderable, and it is seldom that a tournament week passes but what there is a rainstorm, but often harder than the one of Tuesday. J. L. Bailey, who was here the first of the week, went to New York on business, but may return later in the week, but_probably will not play. The badges were distributed to the plavers on Tuesday. There are eleven entered in the first division and four- teen in the second. There is one court less this year, owing to the one at the north of the clubhouse having been discontinued to make room for a tennis court. It is TC DETERMINE LINE . OF WINTER WORK.

They had a few minutes of lively work before the fire was® extin- guished, allowing the automobile to proceed on its way after the two men, who were driving it, had thanked the sweepers for their prompt assistance.

My aunts had wooden and brass foot stoves, and we children sat around on footstools on the floor.
