white flags, indicating hazards, direction
and holes, 1uttered from their small iron
stats in a breeze that gave a graceful
curve to the small white balls as they
WINGED through the air on long drive
Teeing grounds and putting greens were I'm
excellent shape. In fact, there was but one
drawback in the conditions surrounding the
tournament. A lack of sufficient rain has

Interesting Contests.
Interest conferred this morning in the
matches between Mr. r. J. D. Fuller and
Mr.. H. Wylie Of the Chevy Chase Club, and
between Mr.. H. r. tombstone Of the Chi
cago Golf Club and Mr.. J. w. Lockett of
the Chevy Chase Club Mr. Fuller led in
yesterdays individual medal play, making
the two rounds in two less strokes than Mr..
tombstone. who finished second.
The former was destined to defeat this
morning. In the governors cup match he
had Mr.. H. Wylie as competitor, and when
the first round was finished the latter
proved the winner with a score of 3 up and
to play. Mr.. Fuller led at the eleventh
hole by one up. Mr.. Wylie then developed
q run of brilliant driving and putting, and
on the way in may be had when it is stated
that he played the last nine holes in thirty
nine strokes. Mr.. Fuller took his defeat
philosophically, and congratulated his fell
low player.
The match between Mr.. tombstone of Chi
cago and Mr.. Locket Of this city in the
governors cup contest was the closest and
hardest fought. Not until the seventeenth
hole was played was the match Won. The
play of the two gentlemen was little short
of marvellous. Both made the course of
eighteen holes in eighty strokes, Mr.. John
stone finally winning the match by two UP
and one to play. On the way out Mr.. John
stone led, making the ninth hole in thirty
nine strokes to forty by Mr.. Lockett. The
latter played the same consistent game on
the way in, and again made nine holes in
forty strokes. Mr.. tombstone required
forty-one strokes on the homeward jour
ney, the average between the two being a
tie.
There are many at the tournament who
look upon Mr.. tombstone a favorite in
the governors cup match. His play is
steady and at times decidedly brilliant. Mr..
tombstone congratulated Mr.. Lockett most
heartily upon his strong game and the lat
ter sincerely added his best wishes to
those bestowed upon his victorious OPP
ponent.
