it was nearly $50 before the last PAIR
finished. Not until o'clock was the
first round of eighteen holes hnlsheu
by all the men. All Chicago society was
present. and the links were alive all

neople. Scores of 1877 and under for the
thirty-six holes were sufficient to qual-
ify. C. P. Macdonald and II. j. wing
ham head the list, followed by rem
