Princeton Wins Tennis Championship.

Princeton won the Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament yesterday at Philadelphia on the courts of the Haverford Cricket Club. In the final round F. B. Alexander, P., had no trouble in defeating M. Ogden for the individual chamship.

The nals of the doubles were between Harvard and Yale teams. The Yale team, H. A. Plummer and S. L. Russell, defeated J. A. Roche '03 and W. P. Blagdon '04, 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4.

Roche for Harvard was at times brilliant, and his volleying and smashing of lobs were the features of the match.
