and both made misses In putting that a
| novice would consides easy In a majority
OF the cases the drives would be magnifi-
cent exhibitions of Skin and strength and
likewise the approaches. but on the green
the work was simply miserable. DR.. Har-
ban had at least seven chances to capture
holes through the most ordinary putting,
but he trimmed enough holes to cover the
largest wheel of an old-fashioned dray
wagon. Reds work was also ordinary. but
he had the bright spots of sensational play
Ing that called forth praise from the gal
lery.
At the start off DR.. Harlan sent the little
white ball into the sand pit to the right
through sliced shot and Reid did the
same, with the exception that his ball went
farther and landed in the grass. Both got
out well and landed on the green, and then
the fun began. Reid finally holding in five
while the doctor took six
On the second hole both got off well and
approached nicely, but the doctor continued
his poor putting, Reid winning out four to
five.
Mr.. Reid made a remarkable play on the
NTH hole, his iron shot going into the deep
ditch. With calm elaboration the St. An
drews man climbed into the mud and
water, and. with good swing. landed the
pal Wen out on the grass. Mr. Reid was
covered with mud and water when he got
out OF the ditch, but the merry Wrinkle of
his eye demonstrated that he was satisfied
with his work and appreciated the applause
Oh the gallery.
This hole should have been DR. Harban's
hands down, but poor putting allowed Reid
to halve it with him. On the last hole going
out Dr. Harlan got his first bracket, the
St Andrews man losing by poor point.
On the turn for home 1t was thought that
the doctor might hit his old stride and
catch up to his opponent. but on the tenth
hole his drive went into the ditch, was lifted
out and penalized; the next shot went into
the water ditch and was also lifted out and
penaliZed. Even with this handicap the
hole was only lost to the doctor by to Z
on account Of Reds poor putting.
On the eleventh hole Reid went into the
bunker. and, being one stroke behind the
doctor in consequence, the latter won out
. to 6. This was DR.. Harban's last effort
the twelfth, fourteenth and fifteenth going
to Reds credit. and the match was over.
The following are the cards of both:

In the sweepstakes Mr.. Leet defeated Mr..
Ayrault 1 up. This was about the best
match Of the morning. it requiring twenty
holes before Mr.. Leet overcame his oppo-
nent. The other pair in this event, Messrs
Weaver and McClntock. put up one-sided
game, the latter winning out by up and
