In Tweedmouth, England, a thoroughbred Irish setter bitch belonging to R. Drummond produced, last week, 18 puppies.

Franz Romer of Rosenheim, Bavaria, arrived last week at St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. He had left Lisbon, Portugal, on March 3, alone in a 21-foot collapsible rowboat. Sound of mind and body, he expects to continue rowing until he reaches the U. S., wins a prize of $25,000.

At Seabright, N. J., the temperature was 95DEG one afternoon last week. The score of the finals of a distinguished lawn tennis tournament stood: 6-8, 6-1, 6-4, 4-6, 10-10, John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. J. v. Wilmer Allison of Austin, Tex.--both young and brilliant players. Allison, making beautiful shots and then staggering blindly, had been within one point of victory. After that, he was in hopeless condition; Van Ryn took the 20th game of the fifth at love. Allison walked up to the net, told Van Ryn he was going to retire, went into the locker room, collapsed.
