Hsndily Play for the Consolation Cup.
SOUTHAMPTON, July 29.-Foxhall Keene and
James A. Tying are to fight the issue in the final
round tomorrow, at thirty-six holes. for the
President's cup at the annual tournament Of tho
Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. 1t promises to DO
ono Of tho best contested matches on record, for
while each departs somewhat in his style from
the traditional tenets, they are both masters in
the art Of sending long balls and placing them
accurately.
Every condition favored good golf to-day.
Sunshine had succeeded rain, for the rule of
st. Smlthcrcen," as tho golfers call him, has
been broken. The turf. after the soaking of the
month, was green and luxuriant, and in its close
cropped state yielded like rubber under the
strokes OF tho brassics, and held the ball cooked
up on tempting lies. Tho sand dunes were
at their best, the skies blue instead of
a gloomy gray, and the windmills stood
out clearly after the period of eclipse against
the light background Of a clear horizon. Society
was again out in force. The mackintoshes,
knitted jerseys. and heavy wraps Of the days of
moisture were succeeded by white and light
summer suits and dresses, so that the men and
women for the FIRST time during tho tourney
presented a midsummer sartorial effect.
