TENNIS. 1 THE DAVIS GUP. WIN FOR THE AUSTRALIANS. 'New York, June 7. There Was the most sensational tennis ever seen in America to-day. Jones, notwithstanding his recent ill-, ness, was easily the star of the occasion for swiftness 1 and accuracy or placing. McLoughlin’s cannon-ball sma.siies, 'however, Were the source ol rhucn trouble; '* The match was interrupted by a thunderstorm, after which the damp court and wet rackets rendered the play on both sides at times erratic.

Oyer five thousand people witnessed the match.

Doust protested against the crowd at the back of the court, which was then cleared with a consequent improvement in the visitors’ play. Neither McLoughlin nor Hackett appeared to understand the technique of double play. The latter’s cross lobs were seldom beyond the middle of his opponent’s court, whence they were returned smashingly.

McLoughlin exhausted himself playing singlehanded. Doust, on the contrary, did excellent team work. The points now are: Americans 168, Australians 166. The score was: Jones and Doust beat McLoughlin and Hackett, 2—6, 6_2, 5-7, 6-2, 9-7. THE NORTHERN CHAMPIONSHIP. London, June 7.
