Therefore, last week, the presence of King Alfonso at Wimbledon was almost equivalent to a royal cheering section f r the great Spanish net star Señorita Lilli de Alvarez.

Alighting from the carriage the incoming and outgoing Presidents mounted the carpeted stairs to the grandstand where stood distinguished guests. Among those in the stadium: Seņora Obregon, wife of the President; Seņorita Obregon, sister; Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor with 300 followers, visiting merchants of New Orleans...
