 The new executive of the U. s. G. A., F. H. Robertson, is rather aristo- cratic in his ideas, but he is the golf official that was unanimously chosen by the east to be president of the national body Connected with the ShinnecoclS Hills Golf club; where Miss Beatrix Hoyt, some time wom- ans champion of the United States, belongs and plays, he was selected last year to head the list of officers of the Metropolitan Golf association.
 The latter is to the east what the w. G. A. is to the west. Inasmuch as the executive committee of the U. s. c. A. has failed to plan any decided changes in the rules governing either the game or the championships, the duties of President Robertson will be light. The women's championship was assigned to the Baltusrol Golf club in New Jersey-a delightfully."- To- cated course near the picturesque Short hills. The officers of this club have made extensive improvements for the women's event, which will be decided in October. The Myopia Hunt club at Hamilton, Mass, will nave the honor of conducting the open cham. pionship at Q date to be selected later.
 Harry Vardon, the greatest golfer in the world, without any doubt, has repeatedly said that the Atlantic City course was the finest links he played over in the United States. His views are accepted by the majority of crit ics of the east, although they know full we'll how much Vardon thought of Glen View Golf club course, near

JOHNNY KORAN BOXER.
Former Waterbury Boy. Doing Well

Former Waterbury Boy. Doing Well ls :. 4xss ,s.. sss In Canada. . x There are very many people in this city whowi1l remember Johnny Horan who some years ago left this city to take up his headquarters in canada. At the time he left here for his new home he was one of the most popular insurance agents in this city and he was sent to Canada to assist the company in Ottawa. During his residence here and during his spare moments he was q great lover of donning the gloves and sparring with chaps, sometimes much bigger than himself. Tommy Far rington was a fast friend of the lad and he taught him many of the tricks of the boxing trade which have been of valuable assistance to him. While he never laid claim to being q fighter or q fast boxer, he never was or, in some lodge room. He was a clean cut chap and as said before very popular with those who were acQuaint- ed with him. He was at one, time chief ranger of Court Falcon, F. of A. He has been making q good success of his business in Canada and incl dentally he has come out as quite a boxer in the amateur contests up that way He has been engaged in two contests within the past few. weeks and the papers of Ottawa speak of his work as follows:
 The Ottawa Evening Journal heads the article with Clever Tommy Ho- ran'' and speaks of the bouts as fol lows: Horan of Ottawa showed n decided amount of coOlness and clever ness in his bout with Richard Ashton of Montreal Horan'S left hand was wonderful and did surprising work. Ashton started out earnestly but he could not go near his man without running up against hard left hand fab. Horan took things very cooly. Not only did he send in some stiff punches but he saved himself from getting blows by his clever ducking locking. He was clearly the more scienced man. Horan's right hand and his footwork were also great factors i'll the bout. The referee decided that Horan should be. awarded the bout. The decision was popular.
 All the other papers speak as highly of the clever little fighter. He fought in the 115 pound class although he weighed but 1O5. His last battle was and blocking. He was clearly the most previous evening and 1t was red hot one from start to finish but Horan,s $ cleyerness won the game. Johnny re- ceiyed as his prize gold locket with a diamond set in the center. He IS goingsto enter the Canadian champion Shin contests which take place in Tor onto on April 13, 14 and 15.

 the winter golfers. The large class of men who don sweaters, dress warmly and traverse the links when the mercury is hugging the zero mark has no use for the Florida courses. To play where women might wear shirtwaists in February and men might go in their shirt sleeves would have no attraction for these lovers of the sport on frozen links.
 Washington's birthday there were several clubs in the east that had special tournaments scheduled The open tourney at Lakewood, N. J., February 21 and 22 attracted the at tention of a considerable number of golfers. At the Dyker Meadow course on Long Island several of the MetropolitanG Golf association courses, notably Findlay Douglas course at Fairfield county. the players have de rived great dealYof enjoyment out of the game. Sometimes, when snow has made it hard to follow the flight of the red gntta percha balls, the en- thusiastic golfers have engaged enough shivering caddies to dig out the balls and scrapea the snow from the greens. One of the first remarks that this sort of thing might cause a stranger 10 the game to make might be idiots, blamed idiots, all of them" !" But if they are mad they are phys ically strong, healthy, wealthy and socially great ssidiots." Doctors rare ly have to visit these red-cheeked, broad-shouldered athletes. The cut ting winds that sweep across the dreary wastes are brayed and all aglow with the. satisfaction of giving "Col. Bogey a hard rub'' the golfer spends the evening, in the clubhouse dreamily gazing into one of the most inviting log fires in the big smoking room of the clubhouse. To such. en- thusiasts as these there is no par ticular sport in going to the Palm Beach, Belleair,. Kissimee or other Florida courses during the winter Out in southern California, where the conditions for golf in February and March are prefect, the annual cham pionship has just been contested. On some of the Texas and Mexico links, to say nothing of the Audubon club course in the outskirts of New Or leans, there has been golf playing all winter. But in the greatest center of golf in the United States outside the Metropolitan Golf association district. the territory covered by the Western Golf association there has been no play since Thanksgiving day, unless the few spasmodic attempts of 3 small coterie of fun makers may be termed golf Snow in the west and north has been too much for even the enthusiasts. In the vicinity of St. Louis, where it was predicted there would be play all winter, no matter what the weather would be, there has been pronounced bottling up of enthusiasm. E. G. wESTLAKE.

Some Interesting Gossip of the Royal and Ancient Game of Golf

Chicago. There is lack of pictur- esque features at Atlantic City, but the greens are almost perfect and the hazards and bunkers are assigned with scientific accuracy. If Walter J. Travis, the present champion, suc- cessfully defends his title on these links this year he will be hailed as a remarkable golfer. Myopia's course is admirably suited to the open cham pionship, and Baltusrol is an ideal course for the women.
 There has been no time this winter that the golf enthusiast has not been seen on the links somewhere in the vicinity of New York city. The rig ors of winter have had no terrors for

I received a letter Saturday from Freeman, who is at Charlottesville. He says it is the ideal F spot for practice. Cuppy will be on hand all right, and we have lines out for one or two more star twirlers, so that our pitching staff will be one of the strongest, even without MT Din een." v
 Manager Walter W. Burnham of the Bangor club of the New England league, who is acting as a committee on circuit, arrived in Boston from Manchester, Nashua and Lowell yes terday, and had conference with President Murnane and Secretary Morse.

After this date players will send applica- tions for membership to MT Burnham. 232 Cumberland street, Portland. At the meeting the application of the play CTS will be considered.
 Charles ". Somers, of the Boston American league club, said Saturday evening: q shall endeavor to place a team in Boston that will be fighting with the leaders all the time. The de- sertion of Dineen has injured my team will admit, but am now working hard for another twirle- just as good, if not better, than Dineen, and with Young. Cuppy and Kellum, think we will have a pitching staff that will be hard to beat. We have secured young Jones, an outfelder of the Canadian league, who played with Detroit the latter part of last season. He is said to be q very fast player and a good hitter"

HOW Nature Projects Animals.

In countries where. the snowy win ter season is long, the animals, as a protection against natural enemies. put on white coats. The arctic bear and fox are white throughout the year The northern hare is brown in sum mer and white in winter. The weasel is especially curious, It retains its brown coat until the first snow ap, pears and then whitens in a few hours, becoming the ermines of commerce Among the birds who put on white plumage are the snowy owl, the snow bunting and the ptarmigan, the last named retaining d few brown feathers in it's tail. The coats of most animals become thicker during the cold sea- son. The famous cashmere wool is made from the short hairs that add tc the winter coverings of mountain goats,
