There was plenty of good tennis to bo
jccn yesterday afternoon on the grounds
of the Omaha Lawn Tennis club. Four
matches In the Interstate tourney were
played , two doubles and two shinies , and
In them aiiearcd the cracks o ( the tourna
ment. The six Clilcngo men were all In the
Kainea 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
best and biggest audiences that has ever
surrounded the Harncy strtct courts. The
attendance included a considerable number
of fair devotees who mo\c In Omaha's higher
social circles. That they as well as their
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
mlsplaja wcio made by the visitors , es
pecially when Waldner failed In Ills terrific
smashes ,
Interest was pretty evenly divided between
the matches , but possibly the greatest atten
tion was paid to the doubles match between
llaslccll and Young and Carver and Waldner.
The easy defeat of Austin atid Culllngham ,
look ex 1 upon as Omaha's crack team , by the
latter pair , tended to Inspire the local dev
otees with a dcslro to BOO Omaha uiaku a
better shotting , The wish was In a sense
fulfilled , for the local pair certainly put up
a stronger game than the other couple that
had met the Chlcagoaiis ,
As In the other goinTS the visitors won
largely through their team work. Eacb knew
where the other was throughout the match
nml cacb was confident that the other
\vould bold ui ] his cud properly. It was
different with the local men. There were
times In the match when both Young and
Haskcll allowed balls to pass which one
expected tbu other to take and as a cun-
Bcqucnco the point was lost. This occurred
with altogether too much frequency.
There was another clement that tended to
defeat and that was brought out by the
play of not only Carver and Waldner , but
of the other Chicago plajers. The local
men do not play enough of an aggressive
game. A feature of all the Chicago men's
play la their smashing , wlienc\ct oppoi-
tunlty offeis. IJalls which local men would
Bent gently over the net the Chlcagoans
invariably ilrl\o with all their force and
with success.
WAIDNEll AT HIS BEST.
Waldner put up the excellent game that
ho has shown since his coming Ills net
work was of a brilliant order , partlculaily
his smashes Ho diovo the ball with a
foice that made a return almost ImposMblh
Moi cover , his placing at all times was good.
He sent fewer balls Into the net anil out
of court than his partner , who , however ,
was also must excellent In his placing.
Tills individual play was rounded out by
tholr team woik and "head" work. They
skillfully \arled their rotmns , making thsm
Blow , or hard or swift , in a way tlmt bur-
prised their opponents frequently.
Individually , the louil men were not far
distanced by the ylsltois. Their vollo/s
weio good aiid tholr placing excellent. Lut
they failed to use brains enough. 'Die Chl-
cagoans seemed to know where the ball
was coming Then , too , the Omaha pair
lobbed from too near the c't , mid such balls
were eaten up with gusfo , especially Ly
Waldner. Their lack of combl'Mtloii 'K duo
to the fact that they have played IHtlc
together.
All In all , however , the local pair put up
n better game than Austin niid Ci.lllngl'tm.
They lost the first set easily , b it fo" a
time It appeared as it hey would captuie
the second. The set was nt one time 3-0
In their fa\or. Then the Chlcagoans pot a
game , and then the Omalia pair one. Tiom
that point the visitors so'tlel do AH to
work and won out in flvo straight , garnis.
The third set was also i utliir ilosf cue.

CONDEI3 AND HAUDY LOll.
The other doubles match was between two
Chicago pall s , Condeo and Anderson and
Rend and Hardy , and was a pretty con
test. The first team made It Interesting
for their older nnd mote experienced op
ponents , That the score was as close as
It was Is ascilbcd to the fact that both
Anderson and Condeo plajcd Hardy more
than they did Horn ! , the latter being con
sidered the stronger man of the team. How
ever that may bo. Hardy certainly main
tained his cud of the game throughout
The contest was replete with tallies of high
lobbing , principally between Cornice and
Hardy , Bond was enabled to coiuo In
once In awhile and ho responded with some
of his flercn streltes. The team work of
both teams was nt times rather loose , and
in this regat d Cornice and Anderson seemed
to have the best of It. The match was
replete with brilliant rallies. Hardv and
Ijond finally won by a score of 1-G , C-3 , 0-1 ,
C-3 , Both teams are members of the
mighty Kenwood Country club of Chicago ,
Condce is but 17 year of age , and his paitner
Is only a few years older. The jobbing
game , with tliu aim of tiring out their op
ponents , un probably Jho only chance the
loseis had of mailing ically good show-
Ing.
Ing.The
The singles matches did not attract as
much attention , possibly , as the doubles
In these itUo crack * wore arrayed agnlnsl
cracks Cullliighnm nnd Hopkins , two ol
the best local men , were up ugoliist Uoml
nnd C'aiu'r , whn nrn looked upon us being
topuutdicns In Chicago , It must bo con
fCFseil that thn showing the Omaha men
made was something disappointing ,
Carver played most excellent tennis , It Is
( rut ) , and his KIUIIO was particular ! ) ma i lied
by his nice placing , but foi all that It hi'i-meil
as If Hopkins should ha\o i inched eomo of
the balls , He made no effort ficquently
whore there wcs a good chanio for a return
Altogether hlb play was far moic cdielct > H
than ho had shown befoio In the tourna
ment. In the aeiond tel IIP seemed to take
a brace and plaje'd with moio vim. It was

become dlscomnged , In fact ( bo lattci'fc
play throughout appeared to bo that of a

tn the IiaMt of running up against nu'i
whom he- did not tired to loh agalust , As
& loiiEccjuuuo ho had gained the
cuHtoin of jitajlrj ; by thn nc
IIIHUIISO he felt coulide'iit of pie
venllng passes mi account of tua slow
ness of his iwii.U opponents. Bond , how
t\er , would tint drop Into such a 8tlo o
play. He was tierce , quick and hard In liU
itintus. Thus It WAS that uheii Culling
ham was foictd lu thn buck of hU cour
he lobbed churl and fetich balls Bond ate
up When Culllnsbum tried hla luck a
the net lluaj was no quick und fast It
hU vollnyliiK tlut hla pastes were ficijucnt
This tjlc e\ldeutly made Culllngham tier

was the fierce nature of Bond's hen-leu. Hi

Jn iwa strilKht * cts. C-2. fi-0
n the first net he made 28 points to Cull-
ngham'i 20 , and in the second 25 to Cull-
Rham'a 10.
But two matches In the singles were
> layed In the morning and neither was of
ispcclal Interest. Parnsworth , ttu > Grand
stand lad , ran up against Con Young , nnd
wan easily defeated In two straight love
sets. Parnsworth plnjed n very good game ,
as he has been doing all along , but Young's
iard drives , which ho put In with cxccp-
tonal force , rather disconcerted the little
cllow , who was more badly handicapped by
a. nasty blister on his hand.
Iho Haverstlck-Condcc match resulted In
'avor of the latter by a score of 6-1 , 7-5
lavcrstlck was once more handicapped by
ils sore hand , and yet ho played as hard
as he could. Condeo showed what he could
lo In the first set and then let up a trine
n the second. In this the score was at one
Imo 5-3 In Haverstlck's favor , but from
hat time the Chicago boy pulled himself
ogcthor again and wun out.
It was Intended to play the Carver-Hop
kins match In the morning. Hopkins was on
he courts , but his opponent failed to put
n an appearance , nnd consequently the
game was postponed until the afternoon.
MATCHES roil TODAY.
Wjnno Carver and I , . II. Waldner will
ncct In singles this moinlug. Without
doubt this will be the finest exhibition of
he singles game during thewctk It will
icgln nt 10 30 , and will bo the best of three
ets. In Chicago the two men are ranked
ibout equal , with Carver probably , slightly
n the lend. Ills game Is more sure than
Waldner's , but Waldner's Is the more brll-
lant. Knch of them la at his best In the
loublcs game , and when they meet In sin
gles all the western tennis world will
\atch the result. It will bo n contest bc-
.wccn the Chicago Tennis club and Its
rouns and powerful rlvnl , the Kenwood
Country club , with Its 400 members.
W. 1) Uond should have no difficulty
n defeating U. II. Spencer. The winners
of these two contests w 111 play In the semi
finals tomonow morning. Carver or Wald-
ler with Condee , and Bond or Spencer with
Young.
This afternoon the final round of the
loublcs between Carver and Waldner on theme
mo sldo and Bond and Hardy on the other
ihouhl draw out the largest crowd of the
ournamcnt. Kach of the teams showed
csterday what they were capable of , but
Jond and Hardy will be seen to greater
advantage today , for the rcabon that the
) orslstcnt lobbing to which they wete sub-
ccted yesterday gave them little scope for
irilllant returns This match will bo
: allcd promptly at 4 o'clock. It will bo
he best of five sets.
At 3 30 this afternoon , Immediately pre
ceding the final of the doubles , Hey Aus-
In nnd Millard Hopkins will play oft the
final round of the state tournament , the
A Inner to challenge Culllnghnm for the
championship of Nebraska. Hopkins has
> robably shovvn the finest tennis of any of
ho Omaha men during the week , and the.
match will certainly not be one-sided.
Tomorrow nf let noon the final round of
hn Interstate elnglcs for the rarraelee
cup will be plajed.

BUFFALO , N. Y. , Aug. 20. Before the
Empire Athletic club Tommy Rjan and Dick
Moore fought twenty rounds tonight , Moore
seemed to have too much stomach , was
heavy on his feet and appeared to bo
houldcr-bound. Hyan on the contrary was
trained to line condition. Up to the tenth
round Ryan rained blows on Moore's neck
and wind until he had tired him out. After
that Moore's guard Improved ami he led
occasionally and showed some confidence. In
the fifteenth round Moore seemed to Umbel
Into agility by the di easing 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
tieth , chasing each other all around the
ring. The icfereo's decision , giving the
fight to Ryan because he had taken the ag-
Krcsslve throughout , teemed to please the
crowd.

GETTING GRttUNDS IN SHAPE
State Fair MnnagtreJ Propose to Bo Ready
When Opening Day Oomcs ,
LOOKING TO TIID COMFORT OF VISITORS
Mmlc nt the
Ar uf n Mont Sub-
Hllllllllll f ICIlIll .
Everybody having any connection with
the stntc fair proposes to bo ready when
the gates are throun open this > car. The
grounds now present a busy appearance.
The Hoard of Managers has a largo force
of men atvork putting the grounds and
buildings In readiness to receive the exhib
its There nro n largo number of changes
being made , dictated by the experience of
last year. The most Important Is the erec
tion ot 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 n\\ay with any difficulty this
fall. The roofs of the sheep pens have
been lowered and the alleyways ha\o been
roofed over. Some minor changes are being
made In a number of the buildings. The
most Important are In the administration
building , by means ofhlch It U hoped
to facilitate the transaction of business
An olflco Is also being constructed for the
superintendent of the agi ( cultural machin
ery department , which will be a great con-
\enlenco to exhibitors. Another Improve
ment which will bo greatly appreciated bj
the parties who will use It Is n stand for
the reporters who are assigned to the races
This U to be alongside of the judges' stand
and will glvo them ample facilities for get
ting coricct reports of the races without
bothering the Judges. The \entilatlon of
the art building \\lll bo Improved. Last
jear the air In that building was stifling
when a crowd gathered , but the changes
will make It ono of the most pleasant on
the grounds.
Parties who have leased privileges propose
to bo 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 OP WATEIl.
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
annojances lost jear. What was supposed
to be ample provisions had been made , but
they proved to be entirely Inadequate. This
year thcro will bo no diniculty 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 weic
new and In all directions was to bo seen
bare ground , where the graders had just
finished putting things iin shape to render It
possible to hold a fair. This last spilng
the grounds wore all seeded down and now
the only spots of bare ground to be seen
are on the track and In the drivewajs and
walks. This not only makes the grounds
much more attractive , but In ease 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 bouicc.
Trees have also been planted overywheie ,
and , while It will ibe several seasons before
they will provide .any shade , they servo to
relieve the monotony of the surroundings
and to deprive thetgrounds of that new look
which Is always oppretsive. 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 more beautiful
as the years go by.
The tiaclc has been kept constantly In con
dition for racing over since early In the spring
and now IB one of the finest In the United
States. Not a day goes by that some work
is not done on It and it Is dlfllcult to bee
how It could be Improved upon. With the
high class ot horses which will bo piesent
some sensational racing is confidently ex
pected.
With the fine buildings with which the
grounds were fuinlshed last jear and the
Improvements In the grounds themselves
made this year those v/ho attend the Ne
braska State full- will not only see an ex
hibit that will not bo surpassed anywhere ,
but they will be able to enjoy themselves
as well , as there Is not an objectionable
feature which the experience of last year
suggested which has not been remedied.
The Union Veteran's Republican club will
meet at Patterson's hall , corner of 17th and
Karnam streets , Satuiday evening , August
22. A full attendance is requested. Good
speakers , etc. J. S. Miller , president.

M. n. Pratt of this city , who represents
the grain commission firm of Pratt & Co ,
ot Chicago , has received a letter which has
some political significance , from the presi
dent of the company. The firm Is one of the
heaviest grain bujers In the United States.
Last year It bought 1. COO. 000 bushels of corn
alone and Us elevators arc scattered all
through the west. In reply to the Oinalm
Agent's statement that the corn crop In Ne
braska was the biggest ever known be re
ceived the following Information :
"In regard to our cribbing corn , the
chances aic that wo will not bo In the
market to crib corn this year , at least not
until after election. We hardly have the
gall to nak to boirow money without giving
a gold note. We would not care to do this.
The fact of It Is we believe the nomination
of llryan 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 nnjbody to get money to do
business on. Wo think It will cost them a
good ninny more during the next two months.
"While nobody believes that llrjan will be
elected , that Is , no sensible man , still the
uncertainty of c\crj thing until after elec
tion Is going to keep things In a bad shape.
If McKlnley Is elected by n rousing majority
wi- think there will be plenty of money for
cribbing corn , but wo arc afraid wo will not
get to buy as low as last j ear's prices.
Hut wo will probably go In and nil up our
cmptj cribs and crib more If we can get It
at the maiket price. Are the nonslble , con
servative dcmociats of Nebraska going to
vote for llryan ? Thcj nro not going to do It
In this statu b > any means. "
