WOMEN EXPERTS AT GOLF.
AN OPEN COMP TITIoN AT THE
KNOLLWOOD COUNTRY CLUB.

mcnts for women ever held in this country anu
the first held in Westchester county, was ue-
Cided at the Knollwood Country Club yesterday.
1t WAS at medal play, over the full ciEhtccn.hole
course. Miss Bcltrix Hoyt. the woman cham.
pion OF the United States, was a contestant ana
her game attracted great attention. AS usual
she drove a surc and straight ball, and her iron
shots. particularly the wrist approach ones win
the mgshic. were nearly perfect In execution.
Miss Hoyt sliced her brassey shot into tho
flower bed, playing for the fourth hole, when
cost her 40. Later a short drive on the up
hill 9Th hole cost her an s. and an uniucky
splash into the pond on the twelfth mole a q
Otherwise 1t was par golf for q woman.
Mrs. b. D. Robinson" tied with Miss Hoyt
for the gross score prize, and, as she received q
handi ap OF two, the silver cup for the best net
score fell to her portion. Like Miss Hoyt, Mrs.
"Itobinson' was n trouble on the fourth hoic,
Rrd she was ais. short in playing uphill with
the brassey for the inh hole. Thereafter her
play was excellent, except over the hrst
water carry at tho eleventh hole. where q
topped drive sent the ball into the pond.
The hole was made in z, where q
j would have been right. As q rule tho
women played the eleventh and twelfth holes,
where the drives are over the pond, with the ut
most GOODNESS. Miss Knowlton made the
eleventh hole in 8, and both Mrs. Cochrane
and Mrs. Madison" made the twelfth hole In
the same low total. or course, there were many
balls to splash into the pond, but in proportion
to tho number of starters, the wonen played
the water h~azsris fully as well as the men did
IN the Stock Exchange handicap on The same
links.
The gross score made in the tie beat the wo-
mans record for the links by fifteen strokes.
Mrs. W. II. Sands played a very pretty game.
Mrs. Shipper, and Miss liyyt went over the
County representative made the. second hole.
2+7 yards, i'll 3. the best single hole Of the com
%letition, her game was not UP to her best form.
Some OF the high scores were due to untamili-
Gritty with the course always q troublesome one
player and one Of the leaders on her home links,
was one who was at a disadvantage on this ac-
count. Miss Benedict won the second prize, but
her card and that OF her partner, Mrs. Bidwell,
unaccountably disappeared. The scores follow:
