The came Messrs Loekett and Mckinley
down over the hill toward the home hole,
and at the conclusion of the play on this
green it was found that the former was a
winner by 1 up. Mr.. Lockett Is considered
one Of the ablest players among the Chevy
Chase contingent, and in holding him down
to one stroke Mr.. Mckinley Is entitled TO a
great deal OF credit especially as a solitary

seventeenth and eighteenth holes, and won
out by IL up, a most wonderful showing
when 1t Is considered that Dr. Gray ranks
with the best players in the Chevy Chase
