Park Field Club yesterday, in the continuation
OF Long Branch's first open golf tournament.

were aligned in tho first round against players
hardly In their class. so that 1t will DO left for
the finals to-day to bring ont n real good game.

has ever accomplished on the links. His strokes
were:

The match between Stewart and Allen in this
round was the best Of the day. Stewart won tho
iisrt four holes, but then became careless. Allen
won seven straight and was three up, with
seven to go. Allen is n player OF experience on
the Newton Centre and Paterson links. and al
his best is hard to boat. had recognized
that no was in II hard corner, and for the first
time at Norwood he played ideal golf.
Stewart won the twelfth, but Allen regained
his old advantage by capturing the thirteenth
in three. lie was then three up, with Ave TO 20.
stewart, however, won the entire five, beating
bogic n stroke on the total and capturing the
match by two NJ. The fourteenth hole Of 436
yards was made by Stewart in especially bril-
liant form. a drive and a hrassey play brought
him over the rood hazard. lie was still 100
yards from the putting green. but a well-laid
iron shot left him dead for the hole. lie made 10
IN four, a performance never cQualled on the
links. For the last nine holes the cards were:
