The final match of the handicap doubles tournament played on the California Club tennis courts yesterday morning resulted in a victory for George Fuller and Moul- ten Warner. They were opposed to Wil- liam Murphy apd Charles Kuehn. The latter received a handicap of 15 and the score proves that it was about right. The match went the full five sets and the out- come was in doubt until well along in the 21;.}1 set. The score was 5-7, 6-4, 1-6, 6-3, The tennis was not very high class, but the match was none the less interesting. hard and were anything but steady. Murphy also put considerable speed into his strokes. Brrors were rather numerous, but were more often made by the losers. An impromptu handicap singles tourna= ment and an exhibition doubles match were played on the Golden Gate Park courts. The latter was the feature and proved highly interesting. George Janes and R. N. Whitney were opposed to Cherles Dunlap and Clarence Griffin. In an unusually fast match Janes and Whitney proved their superiority by winning three straight sets. All three sets were close, but in each Janes and Whitney outplayed their opponents. The score was 7-5, -4, 6-3. Sixteen of the lower class peted in the handicap singles event. The first round was completed and two matches were played in the second round. For an impromptu event in which the handicaps were hurriedly arranged, there were an unusual number of close matches. J. Cahill and R. Drolla won places In the semi-finals. The scores fol- men com- low: First round—J. Cahill (3-6) beat W. Q. Knowlton (scratch), 12-10, 3-6, 6-3; H. Day- enport (owe 3-t) beat J. Haynes (3-6), 6-3, 6-3; A. Vensano (3-6) beat G. Cunningham (15) by defuult; E. Cahill (3-6) beat E. Peck (3-€), 4-0, 6-2, 8-2; R. Drolla (owe 15) beat M. Mer- guire (3-6) by default; G.

Second round—J, Cahfll beat Vensano, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3; Drolla beat Guerin, 6-3, 6-4. e ——— What Eloquence Costs. A Belgian statisticlan has amused himself by calculating the cost to his country of parliamentary oratory, and that of noise, and even of silence in parliament, for, according to him, each second of a sitting costs the same amount, and silence is paid for, during the sittings, as dearly as speech. He calculates that each hour of the sit- tings of the Belgian chamber costs $1457, each minute $24.28, and each second something more than 40 cents. Starting from this basis he calculates that the words of the president at the opening of each sitting, “Gentlemen, the sitting has commenced,” cost about $1. A laugh, for which, when uttered in his presencé, he could find no reason, was timed by him to cost $1.25. “Marks of approval on many benches” cost as much as $10 or $15; a suitable prolonged movement” cannot be pro- duced at less than $20 or $25. “Ironical cheers at the left” are exceedingly costly, while “loud approval at the right” runs to a price beyond all rea- son. He notes that a few days ago the applause from the government benches at the end of a speech of the railway minister cost exactly $13.09, and that a | sitting of three hours, which was oc- cupied by three indifferent speakers, cost close on to $5000. Patti could be heara in Brussels for such a sum, he | declares; or grand opera, claque and all, be had for less!—Chicago Tribune. —————————— | Origin of Liveries.

With the exception of two small buildings every building on the block bounded by Second, Third, Leouisiana and Canter streets was de- stroyed. The heaviest loser is Fred Roesch, whose four-story carriage re- pository was burned to the ground, caus- ing a loes of about $50,000. The burned district also included the livery stable of C. L. Kraft, the old Jewish synagogue, the Merchants’ stable, six cottages and a number of small brick bufldings. The entire loss is estimated at about $100,000. —_———————— AMERICANS TAKE RACKET MATCH FROM BRITISHERS NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—An internation- al racket match, in which George Stand- ing, the American champion, and BEdward Rogers defeated Peter Latham, the Eng- lish champion, and David Gardner, at- tracted a large gathering of players to the New York Racket and Tennis Club to-day. The four-handed contest consist- ed of six games, four of which were won by Standing and his partner, Latham and Gardner wianing the second and third. This was a preliminary to a series in which Latham, who arrived here a week ago, is to appear against the best profes- sionals in this country during the next six weeks. Gardner and Rogers are Standing’s associates in the local club, and the bulk of heavy play was made by them to-day, the two experts letting the younger men extend themselves at every stage. Standing and Latham will meet in the same court on January 6 for the racket championship of the United States and a purse of $3000. Following is the sum- mary by games of to-day’s match: Stand- ing and Rogers—15, 9, 10, 17, 15, 15; Latham and Gardner—11, 15, 15, 14, 10, 2. ——— Champion Team Beaten.
