The play on Thursday has resulted in
endless figuring among the golf enthusi-
asts. the figuring being inspired nv the
remarkable fact that both clubs took the

course is a mere mathematical freak.

AN AssAssIN's PISTOL
Wilkes Booth Revolver Causes Trou-
BILE Among Friends.

Colonel Calhoun NJ. Deringer and Geo.
Plowman of Philadelphia, are at odds on
the question of Mr.. Plowmans ownership
of the pistol with which ]. Wilkes Booth
shot President Lincoln.
Soon after the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Mr.. Plowman was quoted
as saying that he had the Booth weapon
in his possession. He said that after
shooting the president. Booth in his ex-
element dropped it on the stage of Ford
theater. The stage carpenter picked it
up and kept it. Then he gave it TO George
X. Goodwin, manager of the playhouse
Mr.. Goodwin and Mr.. Plowman were as
ISOLATED in the theatrical business for
many years.
When Mr.. Goodwin died Mr.. Plowman
acted as executor of the estate As he
declined to accept compensation for his
services Mrs. Goodwin gave Mr.. Plowman
the Deringer. 1t bears a plate inscrib-
cd with this name: y. Wilkes Booth
The spring of the trigger has lost much
of its strength and the portion which sets
of the cap is Clipped
Colonel Deringer. a member Of the fam
lily which manufactured the weapons bear
ing his name says that he once before
had occasion TO look into the matter and
that when the Plowman claim was put
forth again he decided to get official data
10 back his statements He has this let
ter from the assistant secretary Of war:
Answering your letter Of 18th ultimo
and "a instant. in which you request GER
tain information concerning the pistol

partment since the proceedings OF the +
