The longest cast in this event was 110 feet 9 inches, by Thomas Mills, of New-York, but these figures were not allowed because the fly went beyond the end of the tank, and, catching in some draperies, was detached when the judges went to measure the cast. The previous record of 102 feet 6 inches. therefore, held good until the tournament in Chicago in August, when W. D.

THE AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS. The National championship lawn tennis tournament for 1897 began at Newport, R. I., August 18. It was made unusually important by the presence of three expert British players, who competed in both singles doubles. and Robert D. Wrenn, champion for 1896, won the championship, defeating Dr. W. V. Eaves, of London, England. Score: 4-6, 8-6, 6-3, 2-6, 6-2. In the all-comers" Larned lost to Nisbet after five sets in the semi-finals, and Nisbet lost to Eaves the next day in Larned's the finals by three straight sets.

The championship in doubles was contested for in two sections again, as in 1896, the tournament being played simultaneously in Chicago and Boston for the Western and Eastern championships. E. Ware and George P. Sheldon, jr., won the Western championship at Chicago, and H. S. Mahony and H. A. Nisbet, British players, won the Eastern championship at Boston. These two teams met at Newport for the National championship in doubles. and the American pair won. Score: 11-13.

6-2, 9-7, 1-6, 6-1. Owing to the default of the Neel brothers, the 1896 National champions in doubles, Ware and Sheldon took the title.

In the National championship tournament for women, held at Philadelphia, beginning June 15, Miss Juliette Atkinson. of Brooklyn, who held the championship in 1895. won from Miss Bessie Moore. of Ridgewood, N. J.. the 1896 holder. With her sister, Miss Kathleen Atkinson, she also won the championship in women's doubles, while Miss Laura Henson and D. L Magruder, of Philadelphia, won the championship in mixed doubles.

THE BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIPS. The English championship tournament, held at Wimbledon in July, was won by R. F. Doherty, of Cambridge, beating H. S. Mahony, the 1896 winner, three straight sets in the challenge round. The new champion, with his brother, H. L. Doherty, won the English championship in doubles, beating the Baddeley brothers, 1896's holders, three sets to one. Mrs. G. W. Hillyard, the former holder of the title, re

tained the English championship in women's singles, beating Miss C. Cooper two sets to one in the challenge round.

The Irish championship meeting, held at Dublin in May, was won by Dr. W. V. Eaves, against R. F. Doherty, taking three sets to one in the finals, and beating W. Baddeley, ex-champion of England, three sets to two, in the challenge round. The Baddeley brothers won the doubles, and Mrs. G. W. Hillyard won the championship in women's singles.

THE BRITISH PLAYERS IN AMERICA.

The United States National Lawn Tennis Association challenged the English Lawn Tennis Association to an international match in America, but the latter declined the challenge for financial reasons. A team of three British experts, however, was made up to play in American tournaments, and Dr. W. V. Eaves, H. S. Mahony and H. A. Nisbet came over late in July. They played in four tournaments, being opposed by Wrenn and Larned in sixteen matches, of which the visitors won three and lost thirteen. The score

in sets was 39 to 16 in favor of the American players. At Longwood Larned beat Mahony and Eaves. In the Hoboken international event Eaves beat R. D. Wrenn in five close sets, though Larned beat all three of the visitors and Wrenn beat the other two. In the Chicago international tournament both of the Americans Eaves and Nisbet Wrenn, and the tournament resulted in a three-handed tie. as Larned beat Nishet and Wrenn beat Larned. The visitors did better at Newport in the finals of the "allcomers' singles. Mahony was beaten by Whitman in one of the earlier rounds, but Nisbet beat Larned in the semi-finals, and was then beaten by Eaves in the finals. Eaves was then beaten by Wrenn. result of the season was an overwhelming victory for the American players.
