glamour to the animated scene and every
one seems to be thoroughly enjoying the
golf event of the year
The play, up to last evening, had de-
veloped some surprises and perhaps the
greatest of these was the failure of n. J.
Whigham, the amateur champion, to
qualify. He was pared with Foxhall
Keene, but as the games on Monday were
all medal play, the latter was not obliged
to look upon Whigham as an opponent.
The champion was plainly out Of form,
the effect of the arduous duties of the
recent campaign in Cuba being plainly
visible in his appearance and movements.
Some time previous to the beginning of
the tournament he announced that it
was not certain whether he would de-
fend the cup. At the last moment he
decided to enter the struggle. Another
surprise as well as a great disappoint-
ment to Morris County Club members
was the defeat of their favorite, James
A. Tying, by Foxhall Keene on Wednes-
day.
Joseph Fl. Choate, Jr., of Stockbridge.
and member of the Harvard golf team,
won the medal for the best score on the
opening day, his total being IT'S. In fact
the college players secured a full share
of the honors. W. B. Smith of Chicago
and well known Yale player followed
Choate with card of 17S, which tied
him with Macdonald, also of Chicago,
and Crowell of Cleveland for second
place. W. Bayard Cutting, Jr., g. G..
Hubbard and James F. Curtis, Jr., all
Harvard men, got secure places among
the first thirty-two. while James l. Blair
and Louis P. Bayard of Princeton and
John Reid, Jr., of Yale gained similar
honor.
