Two Chief Features.
The features of the day were Miss
Hecker's victory over the western
the Glen View club, Chicago, and the
defeat of Miss Margaret Curtis, of the
Essex Country club, Manchester, Mass,
and one Of the local favorites, by Mrs.
Gorham, who yesterday put out anoth-
er favorite, Mrs. E. "A. Manice.
The Hecker- Anthony match was
vastly exciting and well repaid the gall
lery of five hundred who followed 1t
from the start. On the other hand,
the contest between Mrs Gorham and
Miss Curtis, after the first nine holes,
was all in Mrs. Gorham's favor. OF
the other two matches in the afternoon,
that between Mrs. Fox and Miss b.
L. Vanderhoef, of Ardsley- on the Hud-
son, was fought out to the last green
before Mrs. Fox won out, but Miss
Wells ran away from her clubmate,
Miss F. S. Osgood.
There were some fine contests in the
morning, while an interesting hand1-
cap event for those who had dropped
out of the championship contest made
the day an enjoyable one, which was
greatly enhanced by superb weather.
Hecker-Anthony Match.
The match between the two cham
pions, Miss Hecker and Miss Anthony,
was the important one Of the day. Miss
Hecker outdrove Miss Anthony at near
ly every tee, and was between on her
brassie and iron shots, getting far
greater distance. On the other hand,
Miss Anthony was excellent on ap-
preaching, and her putting was phe-
nomenal, she getting a twenty five
yard put at the fourth hole.
1t must be said that her putting alone
saved her from bad defeat and gave
her friends hope that she would finally
win out. For instance. she took the
twelfth hole with a fifteen-yard put,
having lost the previous one by rim
ming the cup after a long put.
Miss Anthony played an Uphill
game until the fourteenth. which, by
winning, made her one UP. With one
up against her in going to the last hole
she lost the chance to get the score by
a. very poor second shot. The feature
Of this match outside of the putting,
which time and again brought gallery
APPLAUSE was the superb drives or MISS
Hecker. Not only did they vary from
a bird's-eye line for the green, and
her brassie and iron shots were equal
ly true and also long.
