II has been Eolnng week all over the country,
and As q consequence the elements have pro.
vided the most unfavorablc conditions Of TEN.
p~ernture that could have been devised. Intense
heat under q broillng sun Is more trying to the
golfer, and threatens more serious CONSEQUENCE
than does a pouring rain end watersoaked
links. On Monday James A. Tying, Jr., was in
capita form, both at Baltusrol and Morrisiown.
and not only won tho holiday cup, but estaS-
lished q new amateur record for Morris county.
At the westbrook Golf tournament at Islin,
l.. J., there has been good play all the week, and
the tournament took on more OF a society aspect
than II ever does at Morristown, 80 many
ladies filled the piazZns Of the clubhouse or FOL.
lowed the contestants In their long circuit OF tie
links. Among them were Mrs. Bnyard Cutting,
whose son is distinguishing himself more and
moro every year and will soon be a crack player,
Miss Cutt nR. Mrs. Henry d. Livingston and
the Misses Livingston, Mira. Henry b. HolliuS
and Miss Nicholas, and n party from Shlnro
cock. among whom were Miss Beatrix Hoyt,
who won this summer for tho second time the
Ladies' Championship at ManChpstcr.byths

shore Of Long Island, which is studded with
, golf links as the heavens are with stars.

Newport has been occupied pretty generally
during the week In trying to keep cool and IA
declaiming against the heat. Speculation AZ 70
the probable length Of the Newport season forms
a continual subject Of discussion. There are
many who think that It cannot long survive
the absence Of the Westbury hunting set, who
are already making preparations for departure,
and who have such luxurious homes awaiting
them that they can hardly be expected to linZer
much longer. The hunting season on Lon,
Island has already opened. and Mr.. and Mrs.

Hampstead colony. Then several very beautiful
places at Newport have remained closed all
summer, as for instance The Breakers. Vim.
land. the Goelet chateau. and more recently
Belcourt and the Marble House. To these
may DO added B~eechwood, where Mrs. Astor
never remains very late, and from which
Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. Aston will soon depart,
Wakehurst, which will probably be closed when
