Ahearn and Taylor faced Fred Fox and L. Wilson in tho finals two straight, fl-7. fi-2. The outstanding player of the 1 fl?f tournament is Ahearn, who captured two of the three cups of fered, the large trophy for the sin gles championship, and one of the Iwo for the dmthlPK. As their were apparently no contests for the ladies when the tourney began, no cups were offered for these games. Taylor? who rece'ved one of the dopbles. cups, forged ahead In fine shape In the tournament. Although he failed to reach the semi-finals in th singles a' week ago he wns eliminated, after winning his first match, by Fox, who lost to Ahearn in the semi-finals.

The K 'bj.rt of Mr. Clark's address was. "Christianity fnd the Constitutional C.overninent.' () p'n irih a convincing argu ment in answer to the statement, ollen made, that the constitution of the 1'nited States separates Ahe church and the government and is thus inimical to the Inst interests of Christianity. Mr. Clarli pointed out that the very principals upon which the eonstlt ut ion was composed sre those first advanced by the faith of Christianity centuries ago. Seldom a T.a Grande audience has the opportunity of hearing a speaker oi Mr. Clark's ability. His long years as a member of the bar at Portland and active public lire have given him rare ability as a speaker and a thinker. JiKlr-e .1. W. Knowlcs Introduced the speaker.
