Feast. A fortnight ago, in Manhattan, Harvey W. Wiley, coeur-de-lion of pure-food crusades, onetime chief U. S. Government Chemist, sat down to dinner. The occasion was his 80th birthday; his hosts were the members of the Agricultural Chemists' Association, of which he is the Honorary President. Down the long table, fenced with formal shirtfronts, candles shone on the sparkling glasses, on the dishes and dishes of food that succeeded one another.

...Newport, a banished king put on something of his former splendor. This was "Little Bill" Johnston, holder of the national championship in 1915 and 1919. He deposed Harvey Snodgrass, 1923 winner of the Newport Casino invitation singles and, paired with C. J. ("Peck") Griffin (his former national doubles championship partner), seemed about to dismiss two other Californians, the omnipresent Kinsey brothers, from the doubles. That match had gone ding-dong for four sets and nine games when Robert Kinsey, on a stretching "get", was crippled with cramps, had to default...
