HON0RS.
How the Golf Cham pion-
ship Viii! be Decided
This Year.

New York.-The amateur golf cham
pionshlps of America are to take place
this year on the MorristOwn Club links
beginning September II and continuing
through September II. 1t Is evidently
the intention of the association to
make 1t a thorough test of champion
ship merit, for the programme of play
Is the most severe ever arranged for
a golf contest in this or any other
country. The competitors will be re-
quired to play thirty-six holes day,
for six successive days, which means
that the tournament will be almost as
much test of physical endurance as
of golfing skill. Even in Great Britain
the amateur championship consists Of
only eighteen holes to round. with
the exception of the finals, which are
mt thirty-six. In these circumstances
1t will not be surprising if one of the
younger players carries of the hon.
ors.
The opening day Of the championship
Is to be devoted to a qualifying round
ut thirty-six holes, medal play. The
first thirty-two will then be eligible

to compete In the match-play rounds,
which occupy the remainder of the
week. The winner viii receive a gold
medal, and the club from which he is
entered will be entitled 10 hold the
championship cup, valued at $1,000,
until the following season. A silver
medal will be presented to the runner
up, and bronze medals to the players
getting third and fourth places. These
prizes are offered also for the three
lowest scores in the qualifying round.
In many respects the tournament is
an experiment, for a number Of inno-
vations will be tried for the first time.
and their success can only be judged
by the result Of the play. In tie first
place, the tournament will be limited
exclusively to amateurs. In other sea
sons it was customary to decide both
the amateur and professional chain
pionships in the same week, but this
has been done away with and the pro-

be unveiled by Miss Gertrude A.

The remainder of the exercises will
take place at Fitzhugh hall, beginning
at 2 o'clock. Governor Black will be
present and make an address. 9th

In the evening there will be a re-

fesslonals relegated to separate con-
test. Another new feature Is the In
crease In the intermediate rounds from
eighteen to thirty-six holes, and the
doubling Of the number of players ell.
gible for the match play. Both these
things are calculated to add to the
difficulty of the tournament, though
there has been no opposition to them
from any quarter, and, in fact, the
changes were made by an almost
unanimous vote at the last annual
meeting Of the association.
This is the fourth annual tourna-
ment held under the auspices of the
United States association, the Initial
contest having taken place in Newport
in 1895. At that time G. B. Macdonald
of Chicago was the winner. The fol-
lowing year the championship was held
at Shinnecock Hills, and III. j. Wing
ham won the cup. Last year 1t was
held at Wheaton, ILL.,, and Mr.. Wing
ham again won, his opponent in the
final round being w. Rossiter Belts of
Yale. This year the accessibility Of
the Morris county grounds is expected
to result In the largest entry list ever
received by the association. In order
that visiting competitors may be able
to obtain little preliminary knowL
edge of the course, the Morris County
Club extends the privileges Of the club
house and links for one week previous
to the competition.

more than twenty cases are CT

Democrats did not vote In the
State elections in 1894 and 1896.
These Democrats are waking up
this wear and are taking lively
interest in politics. The evils
that have come upon our State
under Republican rule have
aroused them and the probabll>
tiles are that the largest Demos
cratic vote ever polled in the
State will be cast this year. The
