Favored with perfect tennis weather, the Queen's Club has been well patronised by fashionable society since the opening of the tournament, notwithstanding the counter-attraction of Ascot week.

"Wright and Holcomb "Ward completely dazed their opponents with their in-play and brilliant cross, eliciting almost con tiguous applause.

Joseph B.

He hopes, particu larly to organize the Pacific Northwest and promises to father Its interests with the National body. He has already won many friends and says that the North west association to be organized, prob ably today, will be known as Maccabe's baby." and that It need not fear for lack of protection. The only hitch In the organization of the Amateur Athletic Union In this por tion of the country is the community of interests between the Northwest and British Columbia and the impossibility of both belonging to the same general or ganization. The athletic clubs of the Northwest will probably form a strong organization under the Amateur Athletic Union.

SpeciaL Loren D. Grinstead, of Spokane, was cho sen graduate manager of athletics at the University of Washington for the ensuing year, at a special meeting of the board of control of that Institution, held today, and plans were made to have the new offi cer devote his entire time to the work, increasing tho salary from WQ to 31000. The general manager, under the new ar rangement, will have entire supervision over all student enterprises. Grinstead was graduated from the law department of the university during the present month, and has been baseball manager during the past year. In which office he has roado the most creditable record that has been made at the Institu tion in years. He is a veteran of the Philippine War, having served through the entire campaign with the First Wash ington Volunteers. He received his sec ondary education In the public schools of Spokane, and was graduated from the Cheney Normal School In 1S02. The State Universities of Oregon and Washington are, in the opinion of Grin stead, destined to be the two great col leges of the Northwest, and ever since he has been connected with athletics at the university he has insisted that tho two institutions should hold their main Intercollegiate relations with each other. He proposes to try and arrange for an annual game between the two universities' in the City of Portland late in October and a return game between the two in Seattle on Thanksgiving day. Grinstead has gone to Spokane, and while In that city will attempt to arrange for an annual game with the University of Idaho, to be played in Spokane In No vember. This is a radical departure from tho programme pursued at the Washing ten University in the past, which has con sisted in an attempt to butt into relations with the California universities, at the expense of Intercollegiate relations with the colleges of the Northwest.

A few days ago a serpent-eating snake or king of serpents (Ophiophagus elaps). was found swimming In the water of the Royal Lakes at Rangoon and was killed before it could endanger the safety of the people sculling on the lakes. It Is among the most interesting of our venomous snakes, and the only really ag gressive member of the ophidians, readily attacking any man or animal that hap pens Its way. The female is especially Ir ritable during the season of modification, and as the adult snake attains a length of from 12 to 15 feet. Is superlatively swift and active, and possesses a poison fang three Inches In length and charged with a very powerful venom. It will be ad mitted that Ophiophagus elaps. nala bungarus or serpentlvore, as it is also called, is a foe that had better be avoided. While being neither an arboreal nor a water snake, the Ophiophagus elaps climbs trees with, facility and takes to water readily, swimming with great ease and skilh Its poison is as deadly In its effect as that of the lesser hooded snake (the Ophiophagus elaps also carries a hood) the cobra; but It is believed that the action of the venom Is not quite so rapid. The shortest period within which It proved fatal to a fowl was 14 minutes, while a dog expired in two hours and 18 minutes. Nicholson relates an account of an elephant which succumbed to a bite In three hours. A COSTLY SMOKE. Cigars That Are Sold for $5 Each. Who Buy Them? Philadelphia Ledger. Five dollars for a cigar!

"Some times a sporty looking Individual, evi dently from out of town, comes In here and wants 'the best cigar in the shop. He means the most expensive, of course, and the $3 cigar is shown him. This Is the way we get rid of most of them. Of course, they are worth J5 If you don't care for expense. "They are all Havana, including the wrapper. That is what makes them cost so much. The cigars are five times as large as the ordinary one3, and it Is ex tremely difficult to get a leaf of Havana large enough for a wrapper.

Mr. Riley adds that the following? were also selections from the remarkable letter-head circulated by Squire Roberts: "Marriage solemnized promptly, ac curately, and eloquently.
