CRAIGSIDE TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
CRAIGSIDE TENNIS TOURNAMENT. THE ClOVE;R:EID-COURfT! CHAMPION- SHIP. The sixteenth annual covered lawn ten- nis tournament at Craigside^ Llandudno, began on Friday, last week, under the management of Mr G. M. SAmond, of the Queen's Club, London. It was rather warm in the, middle of the day, and the weather out of doors was so lovely that it seemed unnatural to be at tennis that was not on grass. Probably owing to the fine spell of weather, the entry is not quite so large as that of last year, a num- ber of players who had intimated their wish to participate! withdrawing! at the last moment.

He has put, in a win for the handsome new champianship bowl, which was on exhibition during the day, and ha,s obtained1 the championship of Wales on covered courts for the eighth year. Miss EL L. Bosworth won the ladies' championship,, beating Mrs Curtis Whyte after a severe and exciting bout. The latter obtained the cup two years ago, and last year lost it to Mrs Laniplough, who was then Miss Elastlake Smith.

BOWLS.
BOWLS. LLANDUDNO v. RHYL. The return match between Llandudno and Rhyl bowling clubs took pla,ce on the Gl'oddaeth Street Ground, on Saturday. The weather was most favourable, and some interesting play was witnessed. A week previously the Rhyl men had won very easily on their own ground, and although they were again the better set of players the margin between the two was not nearly so large on this occasion. For Llandudno W. Williams (capt.), Shaw T'hewlis, E. W. Davies, and P. Hornsby won their matches, making four wins in the singles as against one at, Rhyl. Of the other players R. T. Jones and T. Hughes were only beaten by a single point and R. Ll. Da,vies by a couple. Only one game in the doubles was won for the home 5 side, E". W. Davites and D. Lewis beating Vaughan and D. Owen 15-12.

The struggle to climb to a higher place in life has strength and dignity in it, and cannot fail to leave us stronger for the effort, even though we misis the prize.

"The Ling and the Book," it was the re- sult of years of previous study, to which he had b en incited by an old law report printed in a 1 tt.e yellow book, and found in a second-hand shop. The poet delved in the apparent rubbish heap of an all-but-forgotten case, and from in- c dents that had happened hundreds of years eudier, brought forth the pure gold of an im- mortal epic. The patient toil of days and nights is in that splendid verse, and no doubt many a time hand and brain were welary while the poet toiled. Yet it was the labour that he loved. The work we love may be drudgery, but it is drudgery illuminated and glorified. The weakness of our present position does not lie in the inadequacy of our definitions, but in the deadly fallacy of putting definition first and character second, for it is written, If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God." The great majority of mankind have for centuries done everything with the Moral Rule of the Gospel except obey it. They have read it aloud in their churches and their homes; they have enshrined it in a magnificent system of worship; they have glossed and commented it till it bears a sus- picious resemblance to the code which they find most profitable and convenient; they have shaped and turned it to fit into a corner of an otherwise pagan existence.—The Rev. J. H. F. Peile. Tho human race, is cktill in its infancy. Up to the present moment, with a few grand excep- tions, man has lived mostly an animal existence. The brute is only partially educated out of him. He has not yet evolved that superb character, that diviner man, foreshadowed in the beast, TTow few people get anything more than a mere glimpse of t', i ti,iie of life! Few of us see any real sentiment in life or anything above the real animal existence and animal pleasures. 3Tost of us look noon our occupation as a dis- agreeable necessity that somehow or other ought to have been and might have been avoided. The trouble with many of us is that we think too meanly of onrsdves. Our sordid aims, and material, selfish ambitions have so lowered our standard's that we think downwards instead of upwards, we .grovel instead of soar. Our lives ara materialistic, selfish, greedy, because we live in the base of our brains, down among the brute faculties. We have never explored to any great extent the upper regions of our brain, never developed our higher intelligence. If there is a sad thing in the world, it is the Rpectocle of the men and women who, in their mad scramble for wealth, have crushed out of their lives sentiment and the love of all that is beautiful and sublime. The very process by which thev seek to win the means of enjoyment kills the frealties by which they can enjov, so that when the average man gets his wealth he is shocked to find that all appreciation of the beau- tiful in Nature, in art, in literature, has been strangled, paralysed. He finds himself with plenty of money, but without the power of enjoyment, for the enioying side of his nature is dead. He finds to his sorrow that the strain- ing, striving' life is also a starving one. But why should he be surprised at the death of the finer sensibilities", the appreciation of beauty nnd Would he expect that his business ability, his executive ability, would remain strong and vigorous and ready for action if they had not been exercised for a quarter of a half of a century? He knows that in his busi- ness or professional life he must keep his facul- ties exercised or they will lose their power. But oomrhow the young man seems to think when he starts in this strenuous life, in his quest for wealth, that the tenderer sides of his nature, the sentimental, friendly, and aesthetic sides, which appreciate and love beauty, will remain fresh and'vigorous during all the years without giving; them a thought until he gets ready to sxercise them at fifty or sixty, after he has made his fortune. This is contrary to Nature's law, which is "Use or lose." She gives us all we ask for, be it muscle, brain, or a sense of the beautiful and the sublime, but we must use it, or she will take it away from us.—O. S. Marden. Most of us are bunglers in our conversation, because we do not make an art of it; we do not r -e take the trouble or pains to learn to talk well. We do not read enough or think enough. Most of us express ourselves in sloppy, slip-shod English, because it is so much easier to do so than it is to think before we speak, to make an iffort to express ourselves with elegance, ease, I ind power.

IFOOTBALL NOTES.
I FOOTBALL NOTES. The Amateurs with a. team shorn of several prominent players visited Holy- head on Saturday to play a Coast League match. The game was played in sultry weather, and before a good gate. With J. H. Jones absent from the back line, the defence was entrusted to J. H. Davies and S. Williams, and there is no doubt but that the absence of Jones made a great difference to the team generally. The defence up to half-time stood up well, but in the second half the homesters were able to pile on six goals, and won the match by eight goals to one, scored by Brookes Evans towards the end of the game. & The Amateurs' forward line frequently put in some very pretty work, in which Brown (a young player of great promise) was prominent. They were, however, too well watched and lacked experience to be effective. Brookes Evans worked hard to prat a better complexion on the game, but without avail. The captain, Harold Pearson, was the pick of the halves, and worked untiringly from start to finish. Holyhead forwards appeared to have play- ed on the very top of their form, and gave their opponents no peace in a fast second half. • At Colwyn Bay there was a stiff struggle between the Bayites and Bangor. At half- time the home team lead by three goals to one, but the defence cracked up after- wards before the hot attacks of the Ban- gorians, who added three goals without response, the winning point being scored by Hwfa Williams two minutes from time Pwllheli on their own ground played a drawn game with Carnarvon, each side scoring two giaalls. From reports of the game it appears that play was unneces- sarily rough and numerous fouls were given against each team. 1It M Another drawn game was played at Llanrwst between the home club and Con- way. Nothing wa,s scored in the first half, but in the second Conway took the leaid as the result of being awarded a penalty kick. The first shot was sent wide of the post, but for some reason or other the referee ordered the ball back. At the second attempt, the ball was direct- ed safely into the net amid the howls and groans of the spectators. Shortly before time, however, Norman Jones found the net for Llanrwst, and made the game one each, at which figure the scores remained when the whistle sounded. In broiling sunshine Beaumaris and Festiniog met on the Castle Ground, Beaumaris. Both teams were well repre- sented, and in playing the Beaumaris men to a goal the Festiniog men are deserving of great praise. A match was played on Saturday be- tween Llandudno and Llanrwst County Schools, but owing to the great heat the lads did not unduly exert themselves, and the game ende in a draw of three goals. Llandudno School was represented by Weeds (goal); TI. O. Pierce and R,. Davites (backs), R,. Smith, Howell Edwards, and Trevor Davies (half-backs), H. R,aberts. Brown, Kerridge, Conolly, and Arnold (forwards). The Amateurs will be represented by the following players at, Oanway Goal, A. Porter; backs, J. H. Jones and A. N. Other; half-backs, J. Williams, George Davies, H. Pearson; forwards, D. Griffiths, Alderson, Cheetham, Breese, B. Evans.
DEEP PRINCE FERDINAND OF BULGARIA
DEEP PRINCE FERDINAND OF BULGARIA Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, like all the posterity of Philippe Elgalite/is "deep, devilish deep"; but if he remain guiltless of a "betise" to the end of his days, he will be the first of his line to enjoy that merit. It is interesting to remember how Citoyen Elgalite and his son, Louise Philippe, both ended by overreaching themselves, in spite of the flexibility of their consciences. The most typically astute of their descendants are King Leopold of Belgium and Prince Fer- dinand of Bulgaria; and King Leopold has not been playing his cards very skil- fully of late. So far Prince Ferdinand has done, if not well, at any rate very successfully. He has played the Orleanist game with Orleanist "maestria." His stoical sacrifice of wife and child, over twelve years ago, was quite in the sar- donic manner of his great-grandfather. It was no,t, pleasant, from the point of view of the domestic virtues, but political- ly it wa.s an achievement. It gave peace to Bulgaria and stability to the Princely b Throne, and, together with some clever jugglery with Treaty restrictions, it brought—or rather seemed to bring—the hope b of a Bulgarian Kingdom well within Z, the field of practical politics. Hence the perturbation in the Balkan Peninsula during the la,st few days and the fear lest Prince of Ferdinand nay at last, stumble into the traditional "betise."—"The Graphic."
