SOUTHAMPTON, July so.-The games at the
Shlnnecock Hills Coli Club to-day wore tho
most exciting Of tho week. The course was
crowded with onlookers. As the play srs walked
over the links the persons who followed them
made a great procession. which was composed
Of the most distinguished residents OF the sum-
mer colony. At the end Of play the society folks
were mostly In tears for their pet champion,
Foxhall Keene had been beaten by James A.
Tying, the once-noted Harvard baseball catcher.
Who the spectators were has been foretold In
THE SUN to some extent In Its lists Of the per.
sons present from day TO day. Their names,
however. are not as important 40 what they
wore. The women In their suits ran mostly to
white skirts. sailor hats, and red Jackets, and
this vivid showing made o dne contrast against
the dark green turf. A description Of the cos
tune worn by Mrs. Kittie Harris, the sister to
Mrs. @. Albert Stevens, will give an idea Of the
way the women dressed. She had on q skirt Of
white duck. cut bicycle longth and studded
with big pearl buttons; a fimsy white silk shirt
waist, a sailor hat, and heavy golf laced shoes.
The other women woro similar STYLES of outing
suits.

match between Reene and Tying. It was q

games, while Keene has played polo In a style so
good that he has been carried of the field on the
shoulders Of his admirers, amid the applause OF
