MORNING ROUND.
GOLF NOTES.

The doubt that has existed for some time past
regarding the new st. Andrews golf rules was
DEFINITELY settled yesterday. when 1t became known
that the United States Golf Association would
ratify the new code at its annual meeting on
FEBRUARY e. These rules have occasoned wide
spread interest among golf players on this side of
the water, and their official adoption will cause
general satisfaction They include the old rules as
in effect at the St Andrews Golf Club of Scot
land, together with extensive notifications and
additions made by a special comittee appointed nv
the ST. Andrews club than a year ago
This committee submitted its report some months
ago, and the changes suggested by it are now IN
effect in England and Scotland. In this country
however, golf players still using the revised
eoition compiled by Messrs. Curtis Macdonald and
Coats some two years ago. The constitution Of
the United States Golf Association provides that
the official rules are to be those In force at the
ST Andrews Golf Club IN Scotland so that there
was no option but to accept the new interpreta-
tons, provided the constitution to remain in
tact There has been good deal of protest against
accepting the foreign code for players here have
become familiar with their own, and are Of the
opinion that a change means infinite misunder-
standings in important matches. The Executive
Committee Of the association, however intends to
adopt them. but in order to make them as ap-

OF the water it has requested the original
committee, consisting OF Laurence curtis OF Bos-
ton. ex-president OF the association A. M. Goats
or Newport, and Charles b. Macdonald, OF chicago
TO take the matter in hand at once
1t is scarcely possible that these men can make
their report In time for the annual meeting but
that is necessary. The season here does not
open until about the middle of April, at which time
the complete revision will be ready for use
The Boston golfers apparently not discouraged
by the failure OF their efforts last season to or
ganize sectional association. Just now another
movement has been started among some of the
prominent players there with this object in view.
and this time the effort is likely to be successful
President w B. Thomas of the United States Golf
Association is heartily in favor OF the scheme and
Is using his influence for its fulilment The benefits
derived from such association have been abun-
DAINTY shown in the of the Metropolitan
League, OF this city. both in preventing a cashng
