NEWPORT. Aug. 29.-The sixth annual open
tournament at the Newport Coll Club began
to-day under the most auspicious circumstan-
ces. except for the fact that high winds inter.
fered somewhat. The tournament brought out
the largest number OF players ever seen on the
| Newport links. eiRhty-two reporting for play.
The links we're never better. and the greens
we're a. smooth as n billiard table. Among
| those reporting for play were Champion II
III. Hartman. but he admitted that his
game was little of. The previous day he had
gone around with J. A. Stilman. and the latter Il
| game was decidedly more even. Willie Camp
bell the professional. was among the specta-
tors. and he took great interest in the play.
The result OF to-day's play was to select six
teen men who are to contest In the hrst round
for the cup offered by the President. Buchanan
winthrop. and sixteen to battle for the conso-
lation cup offered by the Green Committee.
In order to finish the first round In reasonable
season. the first pair was sent of atS:30 o clock.
followed by pair as fast as the frat green was
vacated In this way 1t was 140 o'clock
when the last pair had left the
feeling ground. As the men came in
1t was evident that good scores would be
scarce. S3 being the best for the morning
made by James A. Btillman. but as the day adj
vanced the wind went down. and under these
day OF surprises to all. and some OF the
players who were not even expected to qualify
made good scores
Foxhall p. Keene. for instance. who has
been devoting all his time to polo. surprised
all by his good game. His play to-day was
even. and on the greens he was especially
strong. He made the best total score and the
best round. ~. which In itself Is near the
strong on tho drive and In several instances
landed on the greens. but here he would miss
some easy puts, His friends are confident. how;
he and Keene arc the favorites with society.
Charles Hitchcock also put up fair game. but
nothing brilliant was developed other than
Keene.s 20 round. Taking the days play
as whole. under the existing conditions. tho
results are satisfactory. II. b. Hollins. Jr.. and
II. G. Watson. Jr.. both schoolboy players. put
up fair game: and q professional. who
watched the former with interest, predicted
that he would stay In the tournament to the
end.
Tomorrow the FIRST rounds for the President

ADVANTAGE FOR SANTA FE
It Is Interested In the Colorado G.
Southern Line Out of Denver.

Denver Oct. 7.-Recent developments in
railroad matters, and especially the build
ing by the Colorado & Southern railway
of a line through Platte canon, which
probably will be themuch-loOked for Den
yer and Cripple Creek road, have brought
to light the close connection formed with
in the last year between the Colorado &
Southern and the Midland road So close
has this connection become that among
the railroad men the rumOr IS abroad that
the Colorado Midland is to have a share
in the benefits to be reaped by the Colo
radO & Southern from its proposed new
line to Cripple Creek.
The arrangement includes for the Col
orado & Southern q short line to Cripple
Creek, using the tracks of the Colorado
Midland and the Midland Terminal and
from LeadvilIe to Denver which will en-
able it to compete on a more than an
equal footing with the Rio Grande-
The AtchiSOn, Topeka & Santa Ee, rec
Ognized tC be hand in glove with the
Midland also will come in for a share of
the benefits, in that it will have a short
and valuable middle country route which
will give it a Pacific connection that will
compete with the Union Pacific on the
north. and the Rio Grande on the south.
In the great scheme of tranScOntinental
traffic the Santa Fe as the cO-partner of
the Midland, would reap its benefit in be
die of Colorado. in a way it has never
been able to before. Denver would then
become a terminus of the Santa Fe rath-
er than a way station on the big system,
which is the position which it now occu-
pies.
