THE COUNTRY CLUB.
A Great Game of Golf played ON
Saturday. The Home Club wins

Team by a single Point.


Team by a single Point.
The finest game OF Golf-ever played
on the grounds of the Atlantic City
Country c ub, was that played on Sat
urday with the Belmont c ub, of Phil
adelphia. Not until the last stroke was
made was it certain which side would
win the match. Seven players were
scheduled to play from each Club, and
when the sixth had finished, the score
was 3 to in favor of the County Club.
Mr.. M. G Work, of the Country Club
and DR.. Ware. OF the Belmont Club then
started in to fiuish the game and Mr..
Works last stroke at the last hole tied
his score with his opponent's-thus
leaving the total score to 8 in favor Of
the Country Club. Seldom is a game so
closely contested and so well played that
it takes the final stroke to determine the
winner The home club is, of course,
much elated over their victory, for they
hardly expected to win from the Bel
mont's crack team. The following is
the score:

With the incorporation of the Brazil
ian cruiser Nictheroy into the United
States Navy under the name of the
Buffalo that branch Of the service will
have two ships that are unlike those
of any other navy in the world-de-
stroyers on a huge plan. These two
ships-the Vesuvius and the Buffalo
are throwers of dynamite. The ex-
plosives which they throw do not de-
pend, as do those thrown from the tor
pedo tubes of ordinary warships or the
missile sent from torpedo boat, on
any mechanical continuance inside OF
the missile. They travel through the
air, and their propulsive force comes
from compressed air, which is stored
in tube that is more like gun than
a tube. The shots have ranges far SUI
perior to those OF the torpedo aud ac-
curacy which is almost perfect.
The one question is whether large
ships like these can get near enough
TO an enemy to reach him with their
shot. They are not like torpedo boats
or torpedo boat destroyers. They are
large and noticeable objects, and while
the yesuvius is armored, the Buffalo
has little defensive power. Buff they
do get near enough to on enemy to

rests. Shields protect the weapon
and the men who serve it.
On the way to Brazil the crew prac-
ticed with it, using dummy" pro-
jectiles, aud its accuracy was found
remarkable. The gun was SO new, how
ever, that the men were almost as
much afraid of it as the enemy was
expected to be, and there was consid-
cradle relief on board when it was
found on arrival in Brazil that there
would be no need for firing it with
real dynamite, as the revolution W as
over. SINCE then the successful in
stallation of two batteries of these
guns in United States forts has made
artilIerists more confident, and much
reliance is placed in the work OF both
the yesuvius and the Buffalo.
One weakness OF the dynamite gun
system is the fact that the projectiles
are discharged with compressed air.
This makes nece ssary special plant
which. of course, means complica.
