Mr.. ]. II. Brooks is receiving many
friendly congratulations regarding his
record at Garden City He played in
the tournament for three days, defeat
ing his opponent until the last day,
when, in his own defeat, he carried off
flattering honors, since the victor was
Lockwood. the champion of Boston, the
famous Englishman, who was undoubt-
edly the favorite of the throngs which
gathered and who was confidently ex-
pected to win the tournament. Mr..
Brooks lost on a score Of 2 up and 1 to
play on SO holes, which was consid-
cred a great record by the experts, as
the course is the longest and one of the
most difficult in the country, being at
least twice as long as that Of the
Scranton Country club. So fine was
Mr.. Brocks' playing that many favor
able comments were made concerning
him by the metropolitan papers. His
friends at home were prepared to have
him do well, as just previous to leaving
for Garden City, he made the phenom-
email score of 50, breaking the record of
the home course. His card for that
match, with Mr.. F. c. Fuller, is as
follows:
Out .......... ....i 8 4 49,
In ...... ...........3 4-92

comes here in the autumn.
