The reason for this. If any there bs beyond mers coincidence, 18 to be found rather in the nature of the game than in any groater fitness for it in John Bull than hits cousin Brother Jonathan, Out in this western country it s only the college boys who cau get that constant and vared prac- tice 80 necessary for excellence at the game, In England, where towns are closer together, ncquire a taste for tennis have amplo opportunity the season through, at tournament after tournament in close succenston, of improving their standard and their atyle by constant contact with stronger and better men. Yot there are right here in Omaha, as_shown by the recent tourna- ments, piayers who have learned the game At home and without y opportunity for practice with those longer in the business have not_only acquired a good stylebut are now sufticiently adept to hold their own againat any ono in tho state, These, how- ever, are exceptions. Charles 8idnoy Cililngham has boen for three summers head and shoulders ahead of any ono clso in Nevraska, Noever inaced until this month had he lost a single set within tho state, on equal ter.as. But Mr. Cullingham had amplo ning for this be- fore he ever set foot on Amorican soil. His father was o well-to-do bre: of Ipswich, Bugland, and it was fu Ipswich, an ancient and historical town in the castern counties, that Cullingham spent the greater portion of his lifo. Born in September. 1863, ho was educated at the Ipswich Schiool, one of those old instivutions of learning founded in the relgn of Queen Elizaboth and now ranking among the best of the public schools of Great Britain, After leaving school ho en- tered his fathor's browery and in courso of time was taken into partiershiv, Tt was awny b in 1870 that he first began Lo play tennis, and since then ho has devoted a gront deal of time to the game, His it of prizes alreadv Is as long as your arm, In 1% and 1845 ho won handicap prizes in his club tournament, and in June, 1880, andk again In 1957 ho was socond in the open singles at the Holkham Park tourna- ment, held on the duke of Norfolk's grounds ot Norfolk. But it was in mixed doubles that Mr. Cullingham had his greatest luck. In 1887 ho carried off throo first prizes within ten days, partnered each time by Miss L. A, Blogg. 'L icse wero at [pswich, Felixstowe and Shrubland Park. At Felixstowe on the snmo _oceasion ho won the eastern counties ohamplonship in singles. This was the best thing Cullingham has yot achioved, Helost tho title noxt year, and the same month whilo playingat Bourne. mouth against H, A. B. Chapman, of Cambridgo university fame, he fell on the slippory russ and broke his arm. A couplo of years before the Ipswich Steam brewery, as it is known, had passed into the hands of Lord T ache, who paid £100,000 for it, aud fn the intorim the embryo champion of obraska tennis had been living almost on the teunis fleld. Jor almost the whole of two seasons he had been play- ing continually woek after week at one tournament after another, snd thought he had a great future before him at the game. s injury, therefore, was a soro trial to him. The following April he sailed for America, foeling that his tennis days were over. For & fow months ho lived in Wyoming with somo English friends who had a ranch out thero, and then came to Nebraska:« In 1800 ho had playved no tennis at all. In 1801 he won the Nobraska championship at Hast- ings, and retained it in 1802 at Lincotn and again this year in Omaha, Duriog 1891 ho roturned to England for a fow months and brought back throe or four additional prizes. Not counting what he has won in this state his prizo list numbors ovor twonty, P Conrad Hubert Young was born in Jan- uary, 1874, ut Korest Hill, near London, and educated at a privato school. Before he was 18 his family romoved to Nebraska and pur- chased an K00-ncre farm in Valley county. “Con” continued his schooling at Ord for some years, and in 1800 camo to Omaha and attonaod tho Omaha High “school fora fow months. Ho then got & position with Wind- sor, Komp & Co., in the Now York Life bullding, which fio still holds, His tennis lifo datos from his leaving school. During 1801 and 1502 he played in Omaha with tho Young Mon's Chrlstian association, and this v whoen tho Omaha-Tennis club w, ormed ho was ono of its mombers, He Pluys o strony: gamo, nid considering thatho s atill under 20 he has plenty of oppor- tunity for tennis fame fu the future. In England ' ho captained a boys cricket olub, and though he has not yot amlintod himself with the Omaha crickétors, ho occasionally 1ays with thom, and is genorally honored y being sent first to the wicket, Larimore Conover” Denise, a son of Dr. Deniso of this city, is nonrly two years the senior of his purtuner in championship honors. Ho was born in Omahn in June, 1872, educated at Omaha, gradunting from the Omahu High school in tho class of '90, and (s now cntorlng on his fourth and finai your at Princeton, But though a Princoton boy ho can boust of ha ing loarnod tennis entively in Omaha, Ho carricd off tho siugles at the Young Mon's Christian association tourna- ment in this city in 1801, and tho same year partnorod by Miss Margarot Brown he won tho mixed doubles, His great strength at tho game lies in his unusual agility and quickness of thourht aud movement. Like Young, he is quito new at the game, this Dbolng 1n offect only his second soason for he hardly played (nst year atall. His record in the cfty tournament when he got through to the final of the singles and his good fight for firat place with Cullinghum at once on- titled him to rank as ono of the strongest players in the state, Jolly Mu o at Hillslde, ‘Tho impromptu musicale given at Hillsido Tuosday ovening by tho Misses Yates, was far and away the most brilliant function of tho wook and oarly season.

STRIPPING FOR THE RUSH Land Beekers Massing on the Borders for the Oherokee Grab, REPETITION OF THE OKLAHOMA RACE Boomersand Sooners Tralning Thelr Horses for the Stampede—Quality and Price of and—Precanilons Taken to lnsare All an Equal Chance in the Race, Ankaxsas Crry, Kan,, Aug. 28.—[Special toTue Bes.]—Thousands of “‘boomer" outfits awaiting the opening of the Cherokee outlet are onmped on the banks of the Walnut and Arkansas rivers near here, Now that the presicent's proclamation has been issued, and the noon of September 16 decided as the hour of opening, a great influx of home- sookers is expected, and it Is almost certain that botween 50,000 and 40,000 people will make the run from this point. When in 1865-66 the United States pur- chased the country of the Osage Indians and made southern Kansasof it, they secured one of the garden spots of America. This, Cowley county, is unrivaled in fits produc- tiveness. It is watered by hundreds of small streams and three largo rivers, These con- ditions exist in that portion of the Cherokee strip just south of Arkansas City to the Oklahoms line, in which is nearly all of the $2.50 per acre land open to settlement. ln the division just west the land is not so good, and will be obtained for §1.50 per acre, and the poor land still further west will cost the settlers $L per acre. Even in the voor land good crops can be raised by ir tion, but about the same conditions exist there as in western Kansas. In Oklahoma, within the same lines of meridign as the §2.50 land, there are this year enormous crops of grain and fruits. It might justly be called the melon patch of America. Thou- sands of acres have boen devoted to growing water and musk melons and they are very cheap. Itis said that the darkies down there are t0o fot to work, and are busy stor- ing up the fat obtained from the water and sugar in the melons to take them through the winter, The Climate in this Iatitude is adapted to the growth of tobacco und cotton, and large crops of the latter are being annually gathered in Okla- homa. The days arc not unpleasantly warni, the average summer temperature be- ing 882, and the nights are cool. The win- ters aro oven and it would entail no hardship to spend the season in a tent, as many set- tlers have done before and will do this win- ter. It1s into these conditions that the new sottlers will come. All along tho Kansas line west from here thousands of homeseekers aro camped and the southern line in Oklahoma is crowded ith boomers from Texas and the south, 'he border towns are all in a lively snd ex- ed condition and the scenes previous to the opening of Oklahowa are being re-en- acted. Now that the presideut’s proclamas tion has been issued a greater influx will occur and the border will be crowded. One of the unpieasant features and injus- tices connected with the opening of Okla- homa will be obviated this time, as the United States troops will have charge of the opening ceremonies instead of United States deputy marshals. 1t is notorious that at the opening of Oklahoma the deputy marshals, ‘who were ail l’!mlll.h'al appointees and who wero supposed to see that fair play was shown all along the line, let in their friends ahead of time, and they themselves gobbled some of the choicest quarter-sections and town lots in the territory. Driving O the Soonors. Troop B, Third cavalry, in command of Captain J. B. Johnson, is in campon tho Walnut river and dotails from his com- mand are constantly patrolling tho strip, driving off tho “sooners”’ who g: on for the purposeof getting the num- rs on section corners and picking out the particular quarters they will run for. Captain Johnson is in possossion of _informa tion to the effect that ouie troop of cavairy has_been ordered here from each of the fol- lowing forts: Fort Riloy, Kan.; Fort Reno, Okl., and Fort Elliott, Tex. These troops will have complete charge of the opening, On the morning of September 16 they will line the border on both sides of vhe strip, keeping back the “boomers. Along tho center of the strip, thirty miles from each boraor, other troops will be stationed, who will move toward cach border, driving all in- truders before them. They will start in time to get to the border just at noon, when the strip opens. At high noon, central standard timo, the troops will firo their car- bines simultaucously all aloug both bovders, and the rush will commence. Tho troops have already burned over most of the str burning all the high tufts of grass that might aid 10 concealing intruders. A very mmportant innovation connected with the opening is the new method of reg- istration ordered by Secretary Hoke Smith and suggested by an Arkansas City man, who hus been in other rushes and got loft, Registration booths have beon established at all the vorder towns, and at these, be- tween now and ‘the opening, all intending sottlers will go and register their names, at the same tume proving vheir eligibility to take land. They will be given a cortificate and a badge. On the morning of the open- ing they will again go to the booth and thoir cortificates will be ofivially stamped. This will prove a protection to themseives and de- feat *'sooners."” T'ho boomers now here feel encouragod at the thought that at this opening bona fide sottlers will have a chance. There aro claims for only about 23,000 bona fide set- tlers in the good lands, and as there will be probably 125,000 people in the rush, the pro- portion of peoplo who will be disappointed will bo very large -t best. /The Type of Boomer. The class of “boomers” on the ground at this time 1s very good. A good many sensa- tional reports hiave gone out that many of the *boomers” were starving and that many of them had already died of starvation. any one on the ground theso reports aro ridiculous. Mr. K. M. Strong, a son of W. B. Strong, ex-president of tho Santa’ Fe. raflroad, is president of one of the strongest banks in the southwest and knows probably as much about the financial condition of the boomers as any mun. In o recent interview hestated that his bank held 330,000 in deposits belonging to the **boomers' camped in vhis vicinity, and that he knew that there was no less than $60,000 dis- tributed around belonging to these people. ‘The “boomers” are from almost every state in the union. Camping side by side are famiies from Kentucky and South Dakota, and the differcnce between their camp oitfits is as noticeable as their accent. Some of them are people of good education 4nd some weans, whose roving dispositions have led them to desert good farms and homes in the search for an Kl Dorado. In such camps will be found gasoline stoves, porcelain lined kettles, clean bed clothing, a good cow and a little tlock of chickens, “They eat *‘buteher’s meat” and white bread. Among tho poorer and more shiftless cluss the camp outfit is miserably poor and they subsist mainly on that delectable dish known as fried “sow belly” and corn bread. ‘I'ne animals of all are, however, the best feature of the outfits. The big prairie schooners which belong to ull outfits are generally huuled by Wig Missour: mules, while led behind the wagon or driven w0 buggy by some member of the party, gener- ly oue of the women, are the horses which are 1o be used iu making the run, These are almost always the pick of the owner’s stock, Hignest of ail in Leavening Power.—Latest 1J.

In the cool ol every evening the broad macadamized roads leading from the Walnut And Arkansas rivers to town are coversd with young men training their horses. Some of thess are Kentucky thoroughbreds, with glossy coats and banged tails, which look it to run for & derby stake. Others are wild and woolly Texas ponies. The ' young men race down the roads, whoeel, run back, jump ditches and go through such maneuvers as they think Mmay occur duting the sctual run. Then they strip off and mounting their horses jump into the river and swim the horses across. Many of the boys intend to locate beyond the Clmarron and wiil have to cros both the Cimarron and Arkansas rivers, which are both at high water now and prob- ably will be at the time of the opening. But it is not likely that they will take the trouble to strip themselvos whon it comes to making the swim at that time. Many of the boomers" will go in with buckboards and light sulkies, to which will be hitched run- ning horses. There is a bind of about | twenty-five youne men here who have formed an organization to go in together on bicycles. ‘They practice on their wheels every night, picking out rough roads and fiolds to do their wheoling in. There ace many predictions that they will not get very far, for if they escape being run down by the horsemen they run the risk of having thefr machines hroken by the jolting they will get over the prairie humimocks and_thelr frequent falis. The run_for homes on the former trail of the Cherokees promises to be as lively and exciting as that which occurred in Okla- homa.
