rounds for the Edwin Gould Cup, q team match
with the Rockaway Hunting Club, and the han

Ardsley Club. on the banks Of the Hudson. were
thronged with golfers yesterday. The onlookers
Included many of the women who had taken
part in the cup contest earlier in the week. Tho
Rayetles did not end with the sunshine, for there
was a dance in tho clubhouse in the evening,
with special "foursomo" quadrilles and a ger
man with golang figures. ]. NJ. Hammond. who

Each had won one OF the monthly competitions
for this prize last year.
There was much curiosity TO SEQ Sands play,
for II was the first appearance Of the Wcstches-
ter Country Club champion in u hard game since
his return from Cannes. He had written from
Paris requesting that the final competition
should not DO played until his return, and for
the past week he has been practising zcalously
for tho strife. To tho ordinary observer Sands
appeared to have acquired nothing but some SUI
perfiuous "waggles" during his %sojourn abroad,
but according to John Dunn. tho Ardsley profess
sional. his style has improved.
