Obituary.
[Continued from 3d page.]
“During all the years since his erad-
uation the presence,of no man at Yale
gatherings has been more desired or
more welcome than that of Stiles, not
alone by his college contemporaries,
but by the general body of the alumni.
For those who heard him once were
universally eager to hear him again.
Very few had the gift of contributing
more to the pleasure of a company
than he. He shed around him a con-
tagion of gay spirits, and he possessed
a remarkable felicity of speech. It was
comparatively seldom, however, that
he could be persuaded to participate
in such occasions. With all his  bril-
liant parts and. warmth: of feeling and
delight in social intercourse, he was,
when it came to anything in the nature
of a public appearance, restrained by an
excessive constitutional shyness that he
never overcame, and but for which he
must certainly have been a man of wide
public repute in his day. To the
friends of his youth, his classmates in
particular, his memory is dear and im-
perishable. He was distinguished among
them for his shining and various talents.
For intellectual brightness, quickness,
vigor, he had not many equals in the
student community. He excelled in all
departments of scholarship. He was at
the same time a sprightly, merry soul,
overflowing with wit and humor, the
very genius.of good-fellowship. He was
sensitive, sympathetic, and true-hearted,
and drew to himself a rare quality of
affection, which more intimate acquaint-
ance with him never failed to deepen.
Moreover, every one who knew him
well soon discovered that underneath
his exterior vivacity and jocundity was
a genuinely thoughtful and sober mind,
and the temper of moral earnestness,
by which respect was added to admira-
tion and affection, This last, to those
who grew into terms of confidential
personal interchange with him, was his
unmistakable, most fundamental trait.
They knew him for one of the most
serious of men in his views of life, in
his governing purposes and aims, and
so he continued to the end. Dear
‘Bill’! The world held no more de-
lightsome, choice, and beloved spirit;
none that leaves a sweeter memory.”
DR. WILBUR HIRAM BOOTH, 774 M. S.
Dr. Wilbur H. Booth of Utica, N.
Y., died at the Murray Hill Hotel, New
York City, on Sunday evening, Sept.
26. He had been troubled many years
with Brights disease and while visit-
ing in the city with his wife he was
taken with an acute attack, and despite
all medical efforts expired in a few
days.
Dr. Booth was born in Huntington,
Fairfield County, Conn., Dec. 11, 1852,
and had his preparatory education at
the Connecticut Literary Institute and
at the Providence Conference Seminary
at East Greenwich, R. I. Having early
fixed upon medicine as a profession, he
entered the Yale Medical School and
graduated with the Class of Seventy-
Four, being valedictorian. In the fol-
lowing October he was made house
surgeon in the New York Charity
Hospital, where he served for two
years. He then moved to Utica, and
built up a large practice.
Dr. Booth was one of the first sur-
geons to advise the removal of the ap-
pendix vermiformis for inflammation
of that organ, and he successfully per-
formed this operation in June, 1876.
Fe was also one of the first operators
to revive the then out of date, but now
very sticcessful operation for stone in
the bladder, known as the high or su-
pra pubic operation. He had contrib-
uted various articles covering a wide
range of medical and surgical litera-
ture to many of the leading medical
journals of the country, and was a rec-
ognized authority on a number of sub-
jects pertaining to the profession.
Dr. Booth married Sarah Leach
Lynch, daughter of James S. and Sarah
Adams Lynch of Utica, on July to
1878. She died in Florida, February
15, 1882. August 11 of the present
year Dr. Booth married Miss Emma
Keith of this city, who survives him.

however, was unexpected. Mr. Wood-
ward prepared for college at Andover
and graduated from the Scientific
School in 1892. While in College he
was an active worker in the Y. M. C.
A. and was also a member of the Yale
Glee Club. At the time of his death he
was Treasurer of the Yale Alumni Asso-
ciation of Denver and was a member of
the University Club of that city.

INTERCOLLEGIATE TENNIS.
TWhomson’s Unexpected Victory —A
Review by Mr. Hooker.
The. Intercollegiate Tennis Tourna-
ment was held last week at the New
Haven Lawn: Club. Thomson of
Princeton won the singles, and Ware
and Whitman of Harvard the doubles.
‘The entry list was smaller than for
some years past, probably due in a
measure to the fact that both first
places were unversally conceded to
Harvard . The playing, however, was
fully up to the average.
Unfortunately most of the stronger
players were bunched together in the
upper half.
tournament came when Forbes, the
third Harvard representative, met an
defeated Whitman, last year’s cham-
pion, in the semi-final round: Forbes
had won from Dodge, Yale ’99 in a
prolonged struggle, and in this match
with Whitman displayed the best ten-
nis of the tournament. It was then
regarded as a foregone conclusion that
Forbes would win from Thomson in
the finals,. but - the unexpected. hap+
pened, and Forbes’ erratic play com-
bined with the steady, careful work of
the Princeton man, gave the victory to
the latter in a close and exciting five
set match. Excellent lobbing, a very
strong first service, and accurate net
play contributed largely to Thom-
son’s success.
In the doubles the greater experience
of the Harvard team stood them in
good stead and they won without the
loss of a set.
It is thought that Thomson’s unex-
pected victory will arouse more inter-
est in the next year’s tournament. The
score for the new cup to be offered by
the Intercollegiate Association, to re-
place the one finally carried off by Har-
vard a year ago, now stands, Harvard
