A. VI. Bruner, of this city, who, as
secretary of the railroad department
of the Y. NJ. c. ~, is doing so much to
extend the work among the more i'm
portant roads in his territory, is also
making a reputation as a clear,
forceful and convincing writer upon
subjects pertaining to his particular
line. Following is an extract from an
interesting article that appeared
over his signature in a recent issue
of the Railway Age:

In recognition of the principles
enunciated by Mr.. Carnegie, railroad
companies erected clubhouses and
equipped them with facilities for the
entertainment and diversion of the

the problem seemed near at hand.
But later came a settled conviction
that diversion and entertainment
were not needed so much as the
esprit de corps and comfort of the

The finals in the women's champions
ship are being played this afternoon
at the Rock Island Arsenal Golf links
The race for the championship is be-
tween Miss Mott, of Davenport, and

An interesting feature of yester-
days play was the fact that Secre-
tary of War Root inspected the links
during the afternoon and was on
hand when the ladies started out to
play the semi-finals. He did not have
time to stay and witness the play,
but he expressed great interest in the
tournament. Several years ago when
the secretary was not as busy as he
is now he was golf enthusiast and
founded one of the famous clubs on
Long Island. He was greatly pleased
with the appearance of the links at
the arsenal.
Improved Weather Conditions.
The weather conditions were better
yesterday than on any other day of
the tournament. but the links were
far from being in good condition.
They were very wet and spongy. The
scores made were only fair, for the
bad weather conditions and the
strain of three successive days of
strenuous play told on the ladies. In
