a few hundred yards. The shower had
passed. ' .Then for the " first time the
Britisher gave the admirers of the defender
a bad scare. . Without apparent reason it
began to foot faster than Reliance, passed
to leeward and drew away ahead and Mill
to leeward. It looked - for a moment as
though It was going io show Us heels to
Reliance, but when It eame about and the
two boats met, admirers of Reliance saw
that while the challenger had been out
footing it, Reliance had, been outpointing
the challenger and had- even Increased its
lead. The boats were nine miles from the
starting Una-and Reliance had a lead of a
quarter of a mile.
In a dropping wind the British boat twice
slipped past Rellaaoe to. windward, but
was losing ground In the windward thresh,
because Reliance sailed .close to the wind.
Reliance Mile Ahead.
When four miles from the turn, at 1:45,
both yachts started or, a long, leg out to
sfa. As they came about Reliance was a
mile ahead. The wind had dropped to lit
tle better than a flat calm, and the racers
were moving slowly. The yachts several
times changed' thefr headsalls, but the race
had degeperated Into a drifting match and
three and, a half hours after the start it
was evident that It cchild not be finished
In the time limit, i TCfriiahce had steadily
gained and' waa two ' oileg ahead of its
rival, when Shamrock III caught & little
wind from the West and beian cutting down
the lead. Reliance went about when a
mile away from the turn', and, catching the
weeteflywlna,;,scu'rriea asay for the mark
at ' armoftt ''racing pace. The wind con
tinued' to" freshen uBttf.Tt swept 'round the
mark at 3:37:20, heeling to a smart north
west b'teese and giving the first real ex
hibition of Its speed. ' V. ' ' '
The defender hauled on the wind for a
oioee reach back to. the .finish line, saluted
by the whistles of the big fleet. Shamrock
III was coming on a fist clip to meet the
returning defender, but It had been so far
astern that It was eight minutes after Re
liance - turned, the .'mark hefore the racers
met, going In opposite directions. Indicating
that Reliance's actual.,' lead was sixteen
minutes. ; , .-,
Just At that - moment the regatta com
mittee's tug displayed . the signal, "The-
race is off,'', and Shamrock III came about
and followed Reliance a short distance.
Shamrock III' never .tuinei: the mark. The
racers were taken In tow of tugs, and the

TENNIS DOWN TO TI1E FINALS
Middle WmI OhampioDihlp Tournament
More Rapidly to Its Finish.
HUNT MEETS FRANK EBERHA.RDT TODAY
Really laapertaot Match of the Meet
ins; tm Singles W11L Be Played on
the Courts at 4 This
Afteraooa.
Today Is the day In the middle west
tennis tournament on the Field club courts.
Play in both ths singles and doubles has
settled down to the finals, and the matches
should be the best that hava been played
yet. If relative grades of play during the
tournament will count. The greatest In
terest naturally Is felt In the singles and
everyone Is busy figuring out who will win
the match. Both Hunt and Frank Eber-
hardt have their followers, but the Hunt
men are more sanguine than are the be
lievers In the Kansafi. The manner In
which Hunt defeated Fred Eberhardt
Thursday afternoon somewhat disheartened
the Kansas men, who believed that he
would have to play even harder than he
did. Hunt played Just ae well aa he knew
how In the match, hut he was slightly off
form and he showed It In half of his plays.
He did not place the ball nearly so prettily
or cleverly as he did In the match against
Raymond, when he showed' his true form.
At the same time, Fred Eberhardt whs at
his best and played a beautiful game, plac
ing accurately and passing Hunt at the
net often with smashes from the middle
court. He did not smash as hard as Ray
mond'dld, but somehow Hunt let them get
by him.
Fred Eberhardt Is not supposed to be as
good as his brother, Frank, but he out
played him In both the morning and after
noon matches yesterday. Fred Is a streaky
player and yesterday waa one of his good
days. In the usual course of play Frank
beats Fred about 6-3 right along. If Fred
did not play better than his usual game
yesterday, which Is very doubtful, Frank
Eberhardt should certainly give Hunt a
hard match this afternoojp. Thr points for
the match were:

Hollaad Plays Fast.
In the other matoh In the semi -finals Hol
land gave a surprise to the gallery by
taking one set from Frank Eberhardt and
almost outpointing htm In the decisive set
In the flrst set Holland started out and
played net and drove the balls through and
down the sidelines. He smashed lobs and
simply outplayed his opponent. Then. In
the second set, he changed his tactics and
played a slower game In the back court.
The new manner of playing was much to
Frank Eberhardt's liking, as the back court
Is his own game and he took the - set
readily enough. In the third set Holland
tried to resume his earlier method of play,
but Eberhardt kept him back and won the
set and the match. The score by points
for the match Is:
Frank Eberhardt 5 4 2 4 4 t 4 8-54
Holland 3 2 4 2 2 2 1 4-26-2
Frank Eberhardt..... 1 4 4 2 1 1 1 2 18-2

If Hunt wins out In the finals the match
Saturday with Sanderson will be a beauti
ful .one, as Sanderson is showing up ele
gantly In practice. He Is playing a bet
ter game thah - be did last "year. " His
placing la more accurate ana he smashes
lobs. jt the net , somewhat harder .and
safer. In' many v way his tme la -a (teat
deal,, the . same type as -Hint's, .although
hs'dos not, xejy .jfpoa his," placing quite
so rauqh as Hunt does, believing in smash
ing ,ltU., more instead. .u . . , .
' Dope'- for tke Doubles. '
In the ' doubles, as In the singles, ,'the
tesult of ths eemt-fintis was no surprise
and there Is much speculation 'as to who
will win out. It is. the Eberhardts; that
ubiquitous name, against ; Holland . and
Sanderson and that means simply -team
work against team work. Holland and
Sanderson . are net men In doubles, while
the Kansas team play partly back on. the
oourt and do not smash so much. . One
of their weak points Is their lobbing, which
they do with marked regularity and which
Holland and Sanderson ' simply kill; when
they meet
Whichever of the teams wins the
doubles In the finals" will probably defeat
Farnsworth" " and Raymond for ' the
championship foryesterday ' was the first
time that they have been able' to '' play
together this year and ' they - are, conse
quently very short' of team work and will
be greatly handicapped by that aa well
aa by 'lack of praotlce ' singly.. Neither
man has been'' playing tennis very much
this year and Farnsworth hi particular is
short of practice,' not having touched a
racket until a month ago.
The finals In the doubles are to be
clayed at 10 "o'clock "liV the afterndon.
Every effort Is being put forth by Grounds.
man Flaverty to have the courts In the
beat of condition and he already has them
In as fine condition as -any ' clay courts

Expected Hapsieaed.
It waa generally erpected that Holland
and Sanderson would defeat Hunt and Dr
Sheldon In their matches and they did tn
two 6-2 seta. Hunt waa off form some
what .and showed that he la unaccustomed
to playing In doubles. Besides they had little
team work, as they have never played to
gether before with the exception of one or
two practice matches and . the regular
tournament matches. On the part of
Sheldon and Hunt It was purely a lobbing
game and Dr. Sheldon did remarkably well
with his lobs In the face of a strong wind
that carried the ball badly. Holland and
Sanderson played the ball at Dr. Sheldon
all of the tlmo during the flrst set and
made him do the greater part of the play,
but tn the second set they divided their
returns with Hunt and were ae successful.
if not a little more so, than with Sheldon.
The Galeaburg team displayed great team
work throughout the match. Sanderson did
some fine work In smashing lobs at the net,
as did also Holland. Seldom did either Hunt
or Sheldon do any smashing, but It usually
counted a point for them when they did.
The points for the match are:
Holland and Sanderson 44244421 4214
Hunt and Sheldon 1 1 o 1 3 1 S 4 Wt
Holland and Sanderson 44244422 4 St t

Eberkarats Vf.lm Two Bets,
After finishing; their match against Blath
arwlck and Holbrook, Caldwell and Young
started out during the morning with Fred
and Frank Eberhardt, who took two
straight seta and the match from them.
The Eberhardts were clearly the better
team of the two,, although .the local team
made a strong bid for ths second set, tak
tng three straight games when the score
was 4-1 In favor of the Ballna team. It
was then that Toung and Caldwell smashed
the ball from the back court and at the
net for points time and ttms again. The
Kansas team did rot lob aa they bad done
the day before and Frank Eberhardt
stopped the local men when they began to
lob by smashing the ball down the side
lines with persistent regularity.
Wednesday night Caldwell and Toung be
gan their set with Blathcrwlck and Hoi
brook In the second round of the doubles,
and each team took one. In the first set
Blatherwlck and Holbrook ran away with
their opponents, and then Caldwell and
Vaiihi hpM n ..i A I ft Some Of the
prettiest doubles playing seen during the
tournament. Blatherwlrk showed tne aa
vantsge of his ambidexterity In the back
court In the deciding set In the morning

would have been Impossible had he had to
play with but one hand.

As president of the United States, sue
ceeding aa vice president to the place of
an assassinated' president, . whose death
caused the greatest public excitement and
apprehension, he comported himself most
worthily In his high office. He gained the
confidence of the whole people. He exhlb

made himself president of the nation and
not of a party, still less of a faction within
his party, while he' yet violated no real
obligations to the friends of his 'psst. He
vav4 tbe rountrv an administration with
which little fault has been found; of which
no Just complaint has been made; and
whloh cannot be tarnished by any of the
changes of time.
"He wore v out his life by his assiduous
devotion to the duties of his office, -which
gave him no opportunity for exercise or

illness he exhibited in the highest degree
that serene patience and self-control which
had characterised his; whole career, and he

OYSTER BAT, N. Y., Aug. I0.-rreoldent
Roosevelt has made applicable to all de
partments of the government service the
principle he enunciated at the time he
reinstated William Miller to the position
In the government printing office. The
president has already plainly stated to the
members of his cabinet that that principle
"is to Indicate the policy of the presi
dent" in similar cases.
Tonight letters sent to all ' members
of the cabinet on July 23 were published.
In which the president enclosed copies of
letters to Secretary Cortelyou, writ
ten on July 13 and 14.
The salient sentence of the first letter Is:
Thers Is no objection to employes of the
government printing office constituting
themselves Into a union If they no de
sire, but no rules or resolutions of that
union can be -permitted to override the
laws of the United States which It la my
worn auty to cniorce.
In the 'letter of the 14th the president
quoted the findings of the anthracite
strike proceedings regarding the employ
ment of tabor aa follows:
It Is sdiudged and awarded that no per
son shall be refused employment or In any
way dlKcrimlnated against on account or
membership or nonmembership In any
lRbor organisation, and that there shall be
no discrimination against any employe
who. is not a member of a labor organiza
tion by members of such organisation.
Concerning this principle the president
wrote:
It Is of course mere elementary decency
to aver that all the aovernmeht deuart-
ments shall be handled In accordance with
the principle thus clearly and fearlessly
enunciated.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., accompanied by
his cousin, George, has started for Dead
wood, 8. D., on a hunting expedition. The
boys will be under the guidance of friends
of the president.

years had proven so vexatious and unsat
isfactory, seems to have been adjusted to
a degree "of satisfaction. I believe the
present commissioner is earnestly endeav
oring to discharge the duties of, his high
and important oflice honestly, liberally and
Justly, and yet he is not able to satl.ify the
many who feel and assert that the govern
ment has not dealt and Is not dealing
Justly' with them. The complaints are not
so numerous or so vigorous an in tne re
cent past, 'and yet-they are sufficient to
warrant our earnest and careful attention
and consideration.
Complaint will never entirely cease, nor
will cases of injustice be entirely elimi
nated from the administration of such a
great trust, but by an honest, fair and
liberal administration of the laws, we may
reach the minimum of complaint and of
Injustice. Is not the time at hand when
wisdom and Justice both warrant such an
adjustment of the ' pension laws as will
meet the condition that exists by providing
for a fixed amount. of pension per month?
I believe It would be wiso to appoint .a
committee whose duty would be to frame
a proper bill and present ths same to con
gress, providing for a pension of not less
than $12 per month for all honorably dis
charged soldiers, sailors or marines who
may choose to apply.
The report of Senior Vice Commander-in-
Chief William Olin waa . then ' presented.
His principal official duty during the year

" Report of Junior Vice Commander.
The report of the Junior vice commander-
in-chief, James T., Averill, was )n part as
follows:
The graves of union soldier's in' the north
will continue to he rememb-ed by kindred
organisations wnen we- have ail answerea
the last roll call. The graves of the con
federate dead will also be the natural
shrine of devotion of loving kindred spirits
tor generations to come.
But to whom can we bequeath the sacred
duty of dropping a blossom and a sympa
thetic tear on Memorial day upon the
graves of the 260,000 federal dead who sleep
n southern sou. and teach the lesson or
patriotism, associated with them, to future
generations In the south? There ts scarcely
a home in the north but la reDresented by
one or more of these fallen heroes, and to
their kindred and friends this is certainly
a question of most absorbing Interest. I
It is evident that the main dependence in I
perpetuating our Memorial day . in the ,
southern departments must be our Sons of
Veterans, the Women's Relief corps and j
other kindred patriotic associations, which
may combine. Inviting, all .sympathising

In hie report:
There is a growing danger that Memorial
day will be used by some as a holiday in
the sense of Dleasure. and thus lose siaht of
Its sacred significance. Base ball games and
all kinds or amusements ought to o pro
hibited on that day, and every effort should
be made by municipal authorities and oth
ers to prevent Its desecration.
The school children, upon whose receptive
minds the greatest and deepest .Impressions
of the sacredness of the day will bo made,
should be Invited,' yes urged, to take part
in these annual services.
While all fraternal organisations should
be lpvlted to participate, the decoration of
graves of their deceased members, who did
not serve in tne defense or tne nation.

of the moaning of Memorial day; and its

In part:
This is one of the moM enjoyable events
of ray life. There la no company dearer to
me than that of the brave men who eared
this nation. It is an Inspiration to the
people of this country to see their heroes
moving from every quarter of this country
to this grand reunion, and it has been an
Inspiration, a revelation and a consolation
to you to realise that this is our country,
eared by your valor, fortitude and sacrifice.
Never was a war so desperately fought,
never was there a war with such sacrifice
and never a war ended so gloriously. When
peace eame, when the two contending ar
mies had fought It out for the principles
that they believed to be rleM, the nation
had thenceforth and forever become one
nation from ocean to ocean and from the
laVes to the gulf.
