American Independence Day, the an- niversary of McLoughlin's great bid for the Singles Championship against Tony Wilding, and the stage set for another Californian quest this time on
the Ladies Singles Championship. All the attributes of a great occasion were there. The sun was shining, the centre court was packed as it had never been packed be fore this year, the Queen (and with her the Duke and Duchess of York) was in the Royal box Commander Hillyard was in his accustomed places (in the final) on the umpire's chair; the line were held by distinguished players. All that the day demanded was a great match. This desideratom, at first denied, was supplied. At the end of an hour and a quarter's play Miss McKane had beaten Miss Holoo Wills by two sets to one, ench set having gjelded ten games.
