GOLF At WESTCHESTER.
Travis Easily Captures Gold
ed sal

Amateur Champion Walter j. Travis was
the whole show in the open tourney at the
Westchester. N. Y. Golf Club yesterday,
and so brilliant was his work that the
other competitors would like almost any
thing better than playing against him. He
won the gold medal for the lowest score in
the morning round, and then retired w. II.
Goodwin by up and to play in the match
play round of the afternoon.
The scarcity of stars gave the perform
ance OF Travis special prominence He
easily outclasses every man entered and
the chief interest during the rest of the
tournament will be in just how badly he
VIII defeat his opponents. w. L. Thomp-
son of Baltusrol did exceptionally well in
his match with Maddox, but he will have
small chance against the champion.
Richard Croker's son Frank has de-
veloped into first-rate golfer, and his game
gives promise of much Improvement. He
has good style In welding his clubs. has
considerable skill, and shows a keen ap-
probation for the fine points of the game.
His score in the medal round was 80, which
was second best, and many would not be
surprised to see him meet Travis in the
final round tomorrow.
Owing to the drizzling rain of the after
noon, following the players was pleasant
only during one round, and then the
champion carried the gallery. His 81 is the
bogie figure for the course and is second
only to the 10 made by him In a previous
tournament. The green's were in good con-
dition and all players showed to excellent
advantage on them.

OREGON SHOWED HER TEETH.
When the Russian Would Have Seized Her
Chinese Friend.
(By the Associated Press

10y IuG AGoOGIdl6u 1T6SS.J
San Francisco, August 17.-Mail ad-
vices from Yokohama, Japan, contain the
following story regarding the stranding
of the battleship Oregon, on the Chinese
coast recently
1.-The Chinese cruiser Hal Chi, COM
manded by Captain Sab, a thoroughly
Westernized officer, on her way from
Taku to Che Foo deserted the Oregon in
her perilous plight and offered her his
assistance which was most gratefully re-
ceived by Captain Wilde.
'The Hal Chi anchored close to be of
use if further assistance was needed.
The next day the Russian cruiser came
along. Her commander coming aboard
the Oregon eyed the Chinese vessel with
suspicion and asked what she was doing
there. On being told he shock his head
and said it would nevertheless be his
duty to take possession of her. Captain
Wilde nodded and answered, Well, l am
a bit embarrassed just nSw, but there is
ammunition aboard and my guns are in
excellent condition.
The next day after the departure OF
the Russian, Captain Wilde visited the
Hal Chi and suggested to Captain Sab
that as he was protecting some refugees
on board it might be well for him to run
up the American flag to the fore. This
was done and no questions were asked
by passing cruisers afterward."

There is a large amount Of timber on
the land. One party well acquainted with
the place, and also with the price of lum-
Der says he thinks enough lumber can
be had on the land to pay for it.
Some gold has been found and some
coal, but / do not know how much of
either there is. / have an application to

There may be millions in all there. But

there is a big bargain in it for some one.

G. P. Huntington's Will.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, August 1.-THE will of the
late Cells p. Huntington will be offered
for probate at an early date according to
an announcement made tonight by Charles
H. Tweed.
There is little to say concerning Mr..
Huntingtons will at this time, said Mr..
Tweed, "that is of public concern. AS
soon as matters can be arranged prepar-
atory to doing so the document will be
offered for probate. That will be done
early next week; probably not Monday,
and possibly not before Wednesday, but
the application will be made somewhere
near that time. Until the will is offered
fer probate nothing concerning its con-
tents will be made public. There is no
necessity for any haste in the matter and
there will be none.
There will be no formal reading of
the will. This is in accordance of the
wishes of the family"
