Net long ago the English championships
We're held, and the thousands of players in
this country will be Interested in reading
about the best players on the other side
The greatest lady PLAYER in England, Scot
land, Ireland and Wales is Lady Margaret
Scott.
To the Wimbledon Ladies' Golf club be-
longs the honor of having first thought of
forming u ladies' golfng union and insti-
tuting ladies' championship This was
in 1898, and it was decided on the links at
st. Anne s-on-theSea. Thirty five players
contested the event, Lady Margaret Scott
winning the final match by 7 up and to
play from Miss Issette Pearson. Last year
Lady Scott won again, with Miss Pearson
rs her most formidable competitor. This
year the championships were transferred
to Ireland and played on the course at
Portrush, near Belfast. Lady Margaret
Scott was for the third time the winner;
but, contrary to expectations neither Miss
Pearson, Miss Whigham nor Miss bod,
who were prominent in the preceding
championships, was a dangerous competi-
tor
In the final round Lady Scott won from
Miss Lythgoe by 5 up and to play. There
were so players The ladies championships
are played over courses much less difficult
than the regular links. St. Annes, where
the first was held, is said to be as fat as a
pancake" They are not more difficult than
the inner course at the Morris County Golf
club or the Red Course at the Shinne-
cock Hills club, and FROM the comparative
scores it is not apparent, says the New
York sun, that the skill displayed is great
CT than is shown by the American women.
There is room in this country for q union

The amateur champion golf player of
England for 1895 is Mr.. Balfour Melville
"a fine all around athlete and, like Sir Wal
ter Scott, q writer TO her maiesty's signot
in Edinburgh. His legal duties are, to Mr.
Mclville's regret, gradually encroaching
on tho time he would rather devote TO out
door sports. Until two years ago he was
president of the Scottish Football union,
and Mr.. Melville has won the lawn tennis
championship of Scotland, besides twice
being runner up to the winner. Besides
being prominent in football, cricket and
lawn tennis he was "a good sprinter and
hurdle racer ut school.
Besides the championship Mr. Melville
has won % medals at st. Andrews, in
Guiding n special medal presented to him
by the late Prince Leopold and also the

Hobart the same day that PIN worsted
Malcolm Chace. Both the visitors easily
disposed of W. A. Larned, and the first
game lost was not lost by MaGsny, but by
Champion PIN. This game was the one
Clarence Hobart captured from PIN, June

H, Hovey.
The great match of the tournament
however, was the match in doubles be-
tween PIN and Mahony and the American
champion team, Hobart and Hovey. The
Irish experts were not so formidable to-
gcther as they We're when playing in sin
giles, and the American champions defeat

Mahony is "a more active and a harder

striking play is "A hard hit backhandcr,
