There was plenty of good tennis to bo
jcen yesterday afternoon on the grounds
of the Omahn Lawn Tennis club. Four
matches In the Interstate tourney were
played , two doubles and two singles , nnd
In them npearcd the cracks of the tourna
ment. The six Chicago men were all In the
games and against three of them were ar
rayed about as good tennis material as
Omaha can produce. Omaha talent went
down In the contest , but It was only through
hard playing that It was defeated.
The matches were witnessed by ono of the
Lest and biggest audiences that has ever
Etirroundcd the Harney street.courts. The
attendance included a considerable number
of fair devotees who move In Omaha's higher
social circles. That they as well ns theli
male companions appreciated the excellent
play that was presented before them was
evidenced by the frequent applause that
greeted brilliant plays. Unfortunately
thcro were among the crowd some Individ
uals unsportsmanlike enough to hoot when
mlsplays were made by the visitors , es
pecially when Waldner failed In his terrific
etnas lies.
Interest was pretty evenly divided between
the matches , but possibly the greatest atten
tion was paid to the doubles match bctwccr
llaskell and Young and Carver and Waldner.
The easy defeat of Austin nud Culllngham
looked upon as Omaha's crack team , by the
latter pair , tended to Inspire the local dev
otees with a desire to see Omaha make a
better showing. The wish was In a sense
fulfilled , for the local pair certainly put uj :
a stronger game than the other couple that
had met the Chlcagoaiis.
AH In the other game the visitors won
largely through their team worlc. Each knew
where the other was throughout the match
nnd each was confident that the other
would hold up his end properly. It was
different with the local men. There were
times In the match when both Young and
Ilaskcll allowed balls to pass which one
expected thu other to take and as a con
sequence the point was lost. This occurred
With altogether too much frequency.
There was another element that tended to
defeat and that was brought out by the
play of not only Carver and Waldner , but
of the other Chicago players. The local
men do not play enough of an aggressive
game. A feature of all the Chicago men's
play Is their smashing , whenever oppor
tunity offers. Halls which local men would
sent gently over the net the Chlcngoans
Invariably drive with all their force and
with success.
WAIDNEIl AT HIS BEST.
Waldner put up the excellent game that
he has shown since his coming. Ills net
work was of a brilliant order , particularly
his smashes. Ho drove the ball with a
force that made a return almost Impossible.
Moicover , his placing at all times was good.
He sent fewer balls Into the net and out
of court than his partner , who , however ,
was also niQRt excellent In his placing.
This Individual play was rounded out by
tholr team work and "head" work. They
skillfully varied tholr retuins , making tham
slow , or hard or swift. In a way that sur
prised their opponents frequently.
Individually , the local men were not far
distanced by the visitors. Their volleys
were good and their placing excellent. Lut
they failed to use brains enough. The Cht-
cagoans seemed to know where the ball
was coming. Then , too , the Omaha pair
lobbed from too near the not , nnd aurh balla
were eaten up with gusfo , especially Ly
Waldner. Their lack of mmbl'i.Ulon ' 'P due
to the fact that they have played little
together.
All In all , however , the local pair put up
n better game than Austin and Cillluelu ; > m.
They lost the first set easily , b it for a
time It nppcared as If they would capture
the second. The set was at ono tlino 3-0
In their favor. Then the Chlc.igo.ina pot a
game , and then the Omaha pair om > . Fiom
that point the visitors so't'.o-l down to
work and won out In five straight games.
The third set was also a iM'.hr close cue.
The score of the match Is ns follows ;
First set :
Waldner and Carver 374 1 fi 4 i 31 0
Young nnd Haskell 5502311-17 1

CONDEE AND IIAUDV LOtl.
The other doubles match was between two
Chicago pairs. Condeo and Anderson and
Bond and Hardy , and was a pretty con
test. The first team made It Interesting
for their older nnd more experienced op
ponents. That the score was as close as
It was Is ascribed to the fact that both
Anderson nnd Condeo ployed Hardy more
than they did Ilond , the latter being con
sidered the stronger man of the team. How
ever that may be. Hardy certainly main
tained hla end of the game throughout.
The contest was replete with rallies of high
lobbing , principally between Comlco and
Hardy , Bond was enabled to como In
once In awhile and ho responded with sonic
of his fierce strokes. The team worlc of
both teams was at times rather loose , and
In this regard Candcc and Anderson seemed
to have the best of It. The match was
rcpleto with brilliant rallies. Hardy and
Bond finally won by a score of 1-G , C-'l , C-l ,
C-3. Both teams are members of the
mighty Kenwood Country club of Chicago ,
Condce Is but 17 year of age , and his partner
Is only a few years older. The lobbing
game , with the aim of tiring out their op
ponents , was probably Jho only chance the
losers had of making ti ically good show
ing.
ing.The
The singles matches did not attract as
much attention , possibly , ns the doubles.
In these nlbo crack * worn arrayed against
cracks. Culllngham and Hopkins , two of
tlio best local men , were up against Bond
and Carver , who nrn looked upon as being
topnutrhcr.i In Chicago. It must bo con
fcssed that the showing the Omaha men
m.ido was something disappointing.
Carver played most excellent tennis , It Is
true , and his game was particularly marked
by his nice placing , but for all that It seemed
as If Hopkins should have reached some of
tun balls. Ho niudo no effort frequently
where there was a good chance for a return.
Altogether his play wax fur moro caiclces
than he had shown befoio In the tourna
ment. In the second set ho seemed to lake
B brace mid playvd with moro vim , It was
hi * opportunity , for Carver was evidently
becoming fatigued and his balls began to
diup Into the net nnd go outside. The score
wan onro 3-all ; but Carver again played
with force and Hopkins again seemed to
become discouraged. In fact the latter' *
play throughout appeared to bo that of a
man who did not expect to win , Tlio .score
of the match wai us follows :

IMH.UNGUAM OUTCLASSED.
Oulllnglium itlMi failed to put up as good
n game an wiu expected against Bond
Thu latter ployed a gainu tliitt wax evidently
u rurprlbu to the local men. Ho had been
in tlui hnldt of running up against men
\\liciu hi * did not need to Inh against. As
o tontcquinceho had gained the
custom uf staying by thn net
because ha felt confident of preventing -
venting pause * on account of the slow
ness of his usual opponents. Bond , how
ever , would not drop Into such a style of
play. He was fierce , quick anil hard In his
tlrnkrs. Thus It was that when Culllng-
hiim was forced to thn bark of his court
he lobbed short and such balls Dond nte
up. When Cullltighaiu tried hi * luck at
the net Bond was un quick und rant In
hU vollnylng that his pastes were frequent.
This style evidently made -Culllngham ncr-
vou * throughout. A feature of the match
was the fierce nature of Bond's tervlce. IIu
ruiule uuuiber ut points on his service ball
directly.
v Dona JffQfl in hVQ straight * cU. C-2. fi-0.
In the first set he made 28 points to Cull-
Ingham'i 20 , and In the second 25 to Cull-
Ingtinm'n 10.
llut two matches In the singles were
played In the 'morning and neither was of
especial Interest. Farngworth , the Grand
Island Ind , ran up against Con Young , and
was easily defeated In two straight love
sets , Karnsworth played a very good game ,
OB ho has been doing al ! along , but Young's
hard drives , which ho put In with excep
tional force , rather disconcerted the little
fellow , who was more badly handicapped by
a nasty blister on his hand ,
The Haverstlck-Condee match resulted In
favor of the latter by n score of 6-1 , 7-5.
Havers tick was once moro handicapped by
his sore hand , and yet he played as hard
as he could. Condce showed what he could
do In the first set and then let up n trifle
In the second. In this the score was at one
time 5-3 In Ilnverstlck's favor , hut from
that time the Chicago boy pulled himself
together again and won out.
It was Intended to play the Carver-Hop
kins match In the morning. Hopkins was on
the courts , but his opponent failed to put
In an appearance , and consequently the
game was postponed until the afternoon.
MATCHES FOR TODAY.
Wynne Carver and L. H. Waldner will
meet In singles this morning. Without
doubt this will be the finest exhibition of
the singles game during the week. H will
begin at 10:30 : , and Will be the best of three
sets. In Chicago the two men are ranked
about equal , with Carver probably , slightly
In the lead. His game Is moro sure than
Waldncr's , but Waldncr's Is the moro brll
llant. Kach of them Is at his best In tin
doubles game , and when they meet In sin
glcs nil the western tennis world wll
watch the result. It will bo a contest be
twccn the Chicago Tennis club and It
young and powerful rival , the Kenwooi
Country club , with Its 400 members.
W. I ) , Dond should have no dlfllculty
In defeating 11. H. Spencer. The winners
of these two contests will play In the semi
finals tomorrow morning. Carver or Wald
ner with Condee , and Dond or Spencer with
Young.
This afternoon the final round of the
doubles between Carver nnd Waldner on the
ono sldo and Dond and Hardy on the other
should draw out the largest crowd of the
tournament. Each of the teams showed
yesterday what they were capable of , but
Dond and , Hardy will be seen to greater
advantage today , for the reason that the
persistent lobbing to which they were sub
jected yesterday gave them llttlo scope for
brilliant returns. This match will be
called promptly at 4 o'clock. It will bo
the best of five sets.
At 3:30 this afternoon , Immediately pre
ceding the final of the doubles , Hey Aus
tin and Mlllard Hopkins will play oft the
final round of the state tournament , the
winner to challenge Culllngham for the
championship of Nebraska. Hopkins has
probably shown the finest tennis of any of
the Omaha men during the week , and the
match will certainly not be one-sided.
Tomorrow afternoon the final round of
thu Interstate singles for the 1'armelce
cup will be played.

BUFFALO , N. Y. , Aug. 20. Before the
Empire Athletic club Tommy Ryan and Dick
Moore fought twenty rounds tonight. Moore
seemed to have too much stomach , was
icavy on his feet and appeared to be
shoulder-bound. Ryan on the contrary was
trained to flue condition. Up to the tenth
round Ryan rained blows on Moore's neck
and wind until ho had tired him out. After
that Moore's guard Improved and he led
occasionally and showed some confidence. In
ho fifteenth round Moore seemed to limber
nto agility by the dressing down he had
received. From that time until the close
of the bout both men seemed equal In
strength. They fought sharply In the twen-
leth , chasing each other ail around the
ring. The referee's decision , giving the
Ight to Ryan because he had taken the ag-
Krcsslvo throughout , seemed to please the
crowd.

State Fair ManagersPropose ] to Bo Hendj
When Opening Day Oomea ,
LOOKING TO THD COMFORT OF VISITORS
InilirnvoinoiilM illtlitK .Made nt the
RroitniN Are of n Mont Stib-
Htnntliil r Kind N
lltillilUiKH ICreetoil ,
Everybody having any connection with
the state fair proposes to be ready when
the gates are thrown open this year. The
grounds now present a busy appearance.
Thd Board of Managers has a largo force
of men at work putting the grounds and
buildings In readiness to receive the exhib
its. There are a largo number of changes
being made , dictated by the experience of
last year. The most Important Is the erec
tion of 120 new pens for the hog department.
The accommodations In this line were In
adequate to the demands made upon them
last season , but the additions will , It Is
thought , do nway with any difficulty this
fall. The roofs of the sheep pens have
been lowered and the alleyways have been
roofed over. Some minor changes are being
made In a number of the buildings. The
most Important arc In the administration
building , by means of which It Is hoped
to facilitate the transaction of business.
An office Is also being constructed for the
superintendent of the agricultural machin
ery department , which will be a great con
venience to exhibitors. Another Improve
ment which will bo greatly appreciated by
the parties who will use It Is a stand for
the reporters who are assigned to the races.
This Is to he alongside of the judges' stand
and will glvo them ample facilities for get
ting correct reports of the races without
bothering the judges. The ventilation of
the art building will bo improved. Last
year the air In that building was stifling
when a crowd gathered , but the changes
will make It one of the most pleasant on
the grounds.
Parlies who have leased privileges propose
to be ready for the crowds this year as
soon as they commence to gather. On all
parts of the ground allotted to them gangs
of men are already at work putting up
stands , and from present Indications there
will be no dearth of refreshments on the
grounds.
PLENTY OF WATER.
Another Improvement that will bo appre
ciated by all who visit the grounds Is the
Improvement In the water supply. The
scarcity of water was ono of the greatest
annoyances last year. What was supposed
to be ample provisions had been made , but
they proved to be entirely Inadequate. This
year there will be no dlfllculty on that
score , as additional wells have been put
down and the water service otherwise Im
proved to meet all possible contingencies.
The greatest Improvement that will be
noticed by visitors who attended the fair
last year has been made In the grounds
themselves. Last year the grounds were
new and In all directions was to bo seen
bare ground , where the graders had just
finished putting things Jn shape to render It
possible to hold a fair. This last spring
the grounds were all seeded down and now
the only spots of bare ground to be seen
are on the track and In the driveways and
walks. This not only makes the grounds
much moro attractive , but in case the wind
blows very much.more comfortable. Such
clouds of dust would be an impossibility
this year , even It the weather conditions
had not rendered It highly Improbable that
any discomfort would arise from that source.
Trees have also .been planted everywhere ,
and , while It will ibo several seasons before
they will provide ; any shade , they servo to
relieve the monoUmy of the surroundings
nnd to deprive tlie grounds of that new look
which Is always . -oppressive. Instead of a
plot of ground which , save for the build
ings , was a barren waste last season , the
State fair grounds have In one 'year as
sumed the appearance of a beauty spot
which will continue to grow moro beautiful
as the years go by.
The track has been kept constantly In con-
lltlon for racing ever since early in the spring
and now Is one of the finest In the United
States. Not a day goes by that some work
Is not done on It and It Is difficult to see
how It could be Improved upon. With the
high class of horses which will bo present
some sensational racing Is confidently ex
pected.
With the fine buildings with which the
grounds were fuinlshed last year and the
Improvements In the grounds themselves
made this year those who attend the Ne
braska State ftilr will not only see an ex-
lilblt that will not bo surpassed anywhere ,
but they will be able to enjoy themselves
as well , ns there Is not an objectionable
feature which the experience of last year
suggested which has not been remedied.

Letter from Hi-nil "f ( lie 1'lriii.
M. B. Pratt of this city , who represent !
the grain commission firm of Pratt & Co ,
of Chicago , has received a letter which ha (
some political significance , from the presi
dent of the company. The firm Is one of the
heaviest grain bujcrs In the United States.
Last year It bought l.GOO.OOO bushels of corn
alone and Us elevators arc scattered all
through the west. In reply to the Omaha
agent's statement that the corn crop In Ne
braska was the biggest ever known he re
ceived the following Information :
"In regard to our cribbing corn , the
chances are that we will not be In the
market to crib corn this year , at least not
until after election. We hardly have the
gall to ask to borrow money without giving
a gold note. We would not care to do this.
The fact of It Is wo believe the nomination
of Bryan for president on the Chicago plat
form has cost the country several millions
of dollars aircady In depreciated prices and
stagnation of business on account of the
Inability of anybody to get money to do
business on. We think It will cost them a
good many moro during the next two months.
"While nobody believes that Bryan will be
elected , that Is , no sensible man , still the
uncertainty of everything until after elec
tion Is going to keep things In a bad shape.
If McKlnley Is elected by n rousing majority
we think there will be plenty of money for
cribbing corn , but we arc afraid we will not
get to buy as low as last year's prices.
But wo will probably go In and fill up our
empty cribs and crib moro If wo can get It
at the matkct price. Are the sensible , con-
ervntlvo democrats of Nebraska going to
vote for Bryan ? They arc not going to do II
'n this state by any means. "
