most remarkable up and down game in
the qualifying rounds. In both he took
ten strokes to make the sixth hole, while
on the second round he made the third
hole IN two. He still persists in placing his
left hand above his right in grasping his
stick and there are many who thing this
interferes seriously with his game. Col.
F. l.. Denny of the Marine Corps and Mr..
w. F. Hit disappointed their friends yes
terday, both going into the second six
teen. Both gentlemen were indisposed,
however DR.. Glazebrook was in very bad
form, and his start took the starch out of
him. He topped his ball in his first drive
from the initial tee and topped it again in
his second stroke. With Mr.. J. T. Hough
and Mr.. w. Bennett he failed to qualify for
either cup.
F. o. Horstmann seemed to have roor
luck in approaching, though he qualified
well up in the first sixteen Mr.. Horst
mann's card showed a singular run of
fives, no less than twenty holes being made
in that number of strokes
Mr.. Warren Thompson's good work was
very gratifying to his friends. who have all
along insisted that he was a conner" He
was fifth best Yesterday with 173. He was
paired today with another promising play
er, Mr.. e. s. Duvall of the Columbia
Mr.. Eugene D. Carusi found things more
to his liking in the afternoon going the
second round in o. The Weaver bows had
trouble with the bunkers, but Mr.. L. Wea-
yer was number eight in the first sixteen,
while Mr.. G. A. was fourteenth in the sec
ond double octet.

Keenan,, Walter Peter and De F. Lyon A.
s. Mattingly and F. L. Small, w. j. Board
man and E. Carusi
MIR. Hit Kept Away by Illness.
When the players began arriving general
regret was felt at the announcement of
Mr.. McCammon, the club secretary, that
Mr.. w. F. Hit was greatly indisposed
that his physician had ordered him to re-
main in bed.
He played yesterday when in no way fit
and was paired today in the consolation
match with Mr.. G. A. Weaver This game
therefore, went to the latter by default
Mr.. Hits absence, however, added zest to
the consolation event because it was ad-
mitted that he outciassed the others and if
fit would have had little difficulty landing
the cup
With him out of it there was plenty Of
room for interesting speculation as to the
final result.
DR.. Gray and Mr. Dalzell, who were
paired In the championship cup round,
were the first to start and the fog was
still thick when they drove off.
They found the greens even more satu-
rated with dew than yesterday, but fortu-

warmth, and this had the effect of drying
up things considerably. There was much
interest among the experts who know the
qualifications of the various players in the
Gray-DalZell game.
Mr.. H. Ashenden, the very courteous and
capable clerk of the club, voiced this when
