While Tilden and Richards were opposing Johnston and Johnston, in the next court Patterson and Wood were playing Niles and Borotra for the right to enter the final of the national doubles championship, and beat their opponents. 6—l, 7—5, 6—o. The Australians played finished tennis, taking game after game with ease. Niles and Borotra were very unsteady for a while, but improved as the matah progressed.

Received Aug. 26, 5.5 p.m. New York, Aug. 25. Tilden and Richards defeated Johnston and Johnston, B—6, B—7, 7 —5. The match between Tilden and Richards and Patterson and Wood, for the doubles championship, has been postponed, owing to r.ain, uj\til Monday.
