final round. Miss Corlnne Gould of
Kansaa City won the women's champlon-
tfhip by vanquishing Miss Carrie B. iseely
of Chicago, the defending champion, by
a score of 64. 6 2.
Tilden had won the clay court crown last
vear and was doing his best to retain It.
He was looked upon by some aa a mire
conqueror of Johnston. Those, how
ever, who have seen Johnston s game
and who know his style of play
had very strong doubts as to the
ability of the Phlladelphlan to down
him on Hay courts. Johnston gained all
of his tennis education on the asphalt
courts of California. He had gained
fame and a national championship by
hli ability to adapt his tennis to turf
ourts. Granting that his game in gen
eral is not up to standard, it still Is a
certainty that his game on the hard sur
face Is ftlll far above any that can be
brought against him.
Tilden did not plav poor tennis In his
match this afternoon. As a matter of
fart, last year's champion played as.well ;
aa he has at any time this season. John
ston, however, played very much better.
The Californian played better tennis than

The Empire City Derby, wortn S5.00O,
which was the feature of the programme
the Empire City track yesterday
afternoon, resulted in an easy victory for
S. C. Hildreth'e renowned three-year-old
colt Purchase. Although the famous son
of Ormondale and Cherryola won the
stake by only a length It was practically
a walkover for Mm. He was that small
distance In front at the end of the one
mile and a furlong Journey only because
Jockey Knapp would not permit him to
win by a larger margin
Purchase was coupled with his stable
mate. Cirrus, and opposing the famous
pair was Robert L. Gerry's Balustrade.
Although Balustrade ls a noted mudlark
he wasn't considered to have a chance
of beating the Hildreth stars and Pur
chase and Cirrus were held at the pro
hibitive odds of 1 lo 20.
Cirrus didn't race as he was expected
to and was beaten four lengths by Bal
urtrade for place honors.
There never was any doubt about the
result of the race. Hildreth gave Fator
Instructions to send Cirrus to the front,
and set fie early race a,j le told Knapp
to keep Purchase in the rear, tout close
to the pare until entering the home
stretch. Clrrna Quite on Bend.
And that was the way the race waa
run. Cirrus outran Balustrade In the
first fight for the rail position and
stepped down the stretch at a fast but
steady pace. He swung around the first
turn a length tn front of Balustrade,
with Purchase, fighting- hard for his
head. In the rear. Down the backstretrh
cirrus splashed through the mud and
retained his lend to the end of it.
While rounding the bend Cirrus fal

ustrade went to the front and eaused his
few follower? great Joy hy leading Into
the homestretch. But when the home
stretch was reached that Joy turned to
gloom, for at that point. Knapp gars
Purchase a little free rein and the race
was as good as over. Purchase didn't
stop from a pull to a walk, like Sun
Briar in the Mount Vernon Handicap on
Thursday or LuculH'- did on Tuesday.
He bounded through . le mud and In a
few Jumps was swinging along in front
With a length's advantage Knapp seemed
atisfied .-n-1 he began to tighten his
prip on tho reins. At the sixteenth pole
