All of the preliminary and second rounds nnd part of the third were played off Wed nesday. Logan, Davis, Hunt and Howell reached the seml-seinl-flnals. With good going Thursday, the semi-finals In singles and doubles, and, perhaps, In the ladles' singles, should be reached. Tho doubles between Blackihear .and Tsylor against Byrd and Tlchenor waa ono of the hardest fought of the day. atrenuaua did It become that It was moved over to the first court In front of tho grand stand, where the spectators could so4 the finish. The Macon team proved too much for the homo pair, but both aides fought hard for It/ Williams and Bcott put up a good match against Hunt and Lee, but tho University of Michigan aggregation was too atroug for tbs local players. All the games were hard fought, but tbe final score was 6-3, 34, In favor of Iluut and Lee. Hunt, tbe future book favorite for the Southern championship, put la a busy day. He played through hla first, second and third rounds In singles, sod hla first match In doubles In fast order. Ho was fortunate lu striking reasonably easy opponents, while Thornton, tbe man Atlanta Is backing to best him, went against Ill-luck In tbo draw, snd has tome strenuous matches In tha preliminary rounds. B. W. Daley, of Xaabvllle, la playing fine tennis. He defeated Charles Rodgers, of Knoxville, In tbe second round, and Walter C. Lee, of Michigan, In tho third. The I>aley-Lee match was one of the long- oat of tbe day. The ecore waa 6-1, 34, 6-4, and all tbe gamee ware bard fought. Tho two play much alike-* careful, easy hit ting, hard placing sort of a game. Neither man bit tbe ball with any degree of strength even In what might have been •smashes,” bnt their placing and passing waa remarkable. Bland Logan, of New Orleans, has played good tennis throughout. He la a marvel of agility, and knows tbe game from end to end. Tbe entire New Orleans delegation seems to be In great favor with tbe spectS' tore and players. All of them play bard, sportsmanlike tennii, and tbe good wishes of tbe bunch go with them every time they ■tart a match. About tbe coolest headed player In ths tournament la Ham Williams. Apparently he has no chance agnlnat a crack player, and yet he mows them down one after another. Hla knowledge of tbe game ami bis refusal to know when be Is beaten combine In making him a hard man to con quer. Reobeu Hunt, theUniversity*of Michigan player, will be a hard one to beat out of tbe cup. tie la a man of great height, ■ml he poeseeees a wonderful reach. la singles, he gets right In tbe middle of the court, and It la almost Impossible to pass and It la suicide to try a loh. Ills overhead work Is excellent, sad bis were worth going a long way to see. HOTEL ARRIVALS. AT THE ARAGON. T. F. Fleming, Sparta, Ha.; L. P. Bra denburg, Henolu. On.; Hyland Uoodson, Crawfordville.
