GOLF AND FIELD CLUB.
GOLF NOTES.

There is discussion among golfers in
progress just now which is based on a
suggestion to revise the conditions gov
erning the amateur championship. The
opinion is gaining among leading players
that the contestants in the final round of
the tournament should be required to
play 70 holes at match play instead of 36.
as is now the rule. This, they believe,
would greatly curtail the element of luck
and render the final outcome tTuer test
of the ability of the players.
In the summer schedule of the Hillside
Tennis and Golf Club of Plaindeld team
matches with the Morristown Field Club
are announced for June IS and Septem-
Der 10, the former to be played at Plain
field and the latter at Morristown.
In the second Princeton-Ardsley team
match last Saturday, W. D. Vanderpool
made the highest score of the day, and
the Princeton team won the match, II
to IL.
Willie Fernie, the Scotch professional,
is expected in this country on May l.,
and will begin duty at the Oakland
Clubs links at Bayside, where he will
spend the season.

terly three other yearly meetings have
been added, SO that now there are four
held during the year, each commemor-
ating some important battle of the Revo-
luton. The society has erected two sub
stantial memorials, one celebrating the
Battle of Springfield and testifying to
the appreciation of the society for the
heroic dead who were killed in that
contest, by a granite shaft reared in a
grave yard where sleep an officer and some
privates of the Revolutionary Army;
the other, rough boulder of several
tons weight, with an appropriate inscrip-
ton. set up near Summit on the spot
where stood the beacon and signal gun
called the Old Sow, warning the minute
men to prepare for strife when the
British moved out from New York, at
tempting to dislodge Washington while
encamped at Morristown. One of the
most important achievements of the
society has been the publication of a
Year Book, containing its proceedings
for several years. This volume is
elegantly bound and has been placed in
the hands of each of its members. 1t is
proposed to issue similar publications
from time to time, as occasion may re-
