PostpOnement of the Weekly Func-
ton at the Wheeling Links-The
Return Match Highlanders ".
LOwlanders to be Pulled OF Next
Saturday, Probably Odds and
Ends for the EdifactiOn of Golf
ers.

The fortnightly golf fixture and So
cial function did not come off at the
Wheeling links yesterday afternoon.
The reason may be ascribed to the fact
that the event was anticipated by the
Fourth of July affair, which was unus-
ually attractive and enjoyable. Next
Saturday is set for the usual reception
and golf fixture. The committee OF la
dies have not yet been selected by Mrs.
Cummins, the chairman but the list
will probably include the lower part o.
THE alphabet. AS to the golfling part
of the event, the form of play has not
yet been decided. 1t has, however,
been suggested that it be in the shape
under handicap, the instructor Mr..
Vanderwatering fixing the handicaps.
If the time is not ripe for mixed
foursome under handicap then the
handicap may be omitted, only there is
not likely to be as many entrants be-
cause of the inequality of the players.
Proper handicapping completely OBJ
viates this difficulty.

Since writing the above we learn
that i'm all probability many OF the
ladies of the Wheeling links will be
present at the Highland links to wit
ness the match between the two clubs.
In that case it has been decided to
POSTPONE the fixture and social func-
ton at the Wheeling links until a fu-
ture Saturday, as to have both events
the same day would interfere with the
attendance of many who would desire
to attend the Highland links.
The return INTERCEPT tournament
match between the Highlands and
Lowanders did not materialize yester-
day. as intended, because of the I'M
avoidable absence of some of the play
ers. The date has been postponed un-
til next Saturday, when the fixture will
be pulled off at the Highland links.
The same teams, If possible. will be
pitted against each other and it is as
serted by some of the Highlanders'
friends that different story will like

morning. However, We will see what

There is rumor. which seems to
have some credence, that Taylor, the
open champion OF Great Britain, is
planning for trip 10 this country be-
fore the season is over. 1t is even
more than probable that he may come
over in time to play In our open cham
pionship. With Taylor and vardon
entered against the best of our pro-
fessionals would insure the greatest
go1fng event of the age. A match be-
tween Vardon and Taylor at Garden
City would also draw the biggest
crowd which ever followed 4 match.
