THE GOLFERS OF oNwENTsIA.
Douglass VIII Have Hard Struggle
with Hartman.

Onwentsia Golf Club, Lake Forest, H.,
July THE golf championship for 1899
will be won by an Eastern man.
II. NJ. Hartman of the Meadowbrool6
Golf Club of Hampstead, L. l., and the
present champion Findlay S. Douglass,
won the semi-finals in The amateur golf
tournament at Onwentsia to-day, and to-
morrow viii meet in the deciding struggle
for the championship Ii viii be a Scotch
golfer against native American.
Hartman who formerly played football
and baseball at Princeton, won so impress
sively to-day from his opponent, Charles
b. Mcdonald, and displayed such good
form in every phase of the game, that to-
night many of the golfers, who have fol-
lowed the play of the two men throughout
the week, are of the opinion that Douglass
will be pressed harder in tomorrow 5
game than IN any he has had during the
present week, and will have TO be at his
best to retain the championship.
The general belief is that the game viii
not be won by more than Two or three
holes by either man.
Mcdonald defeat by Hartman remov-
ed the last Westerner from the list of CON
testants This game, because on it depend
ed whether or not q Westerner would con-
test in the finals, proved lodestone 10 the
enthusiasts who came out to view the
hnal struggles, and an unusually large
gallery, closely followed the play, boIh
during the morning and afternoon. Nc
Donaids work was decided dsappoint-
ment to his friends. Hartman played con-
| sistent golf throughout.
Champion DOUGLASS had an Unexpectedly
| hard struggle to win from w. J. Travis.
| These TWO met last year in the semi-inals
Douglass securing a decisive victory. To-
| day, however, although Douglass finished
| the first eighteen holes four up, the game
was not decided until the thirty-dfth hole
had been negotiated Douglass apparently
| confident in his ability 10 win, played care
! lessly and to this fact was due the c.osc
| score.

~ expressed opinion Of those who have
followed the trial since its beginning

ever, look for a disagreement. There
are but few who express the belief
that a verdict of guilty will be given.
Today's proceedings We're confined
entirely to argument and speeches by
counsel, the defence deciding to pre-
sent no testimony. Mr.. Watson began
the day by requesting that the case be
Withdrawn from the jury and YER
dict of not guilty be rendered. He con-
tended that the commonwealth had ut
terIy failed to make out a case against
Mr.. QUAY. Judge Biddle determined
the issues were those for jury To de-
eide and he ruled that the case be gone
through with the usual way.
Mr.. Shields here announced the de-
fences intention to take no testimony
and under the rules of the court, he
thus obtained the privilege of making
the last speech To the jury. District
Attorney Rothemel spoke for an hour;
Mr. Shields followed for one hour and
three quarters and Judge Biddle charg-
ed the jury in minutes.
