An eighteen-hole handicap golf tourna-
ment was held at Chevy Chase Saturday
afternoon. and not withstandang the in
clemency Of the weather there was quite q
large field Of contestants. Many Of the golf
ers started out In splendid form. but the
mud and temporary greens soon knocked
them awry. and as a result but eleven made
scores small enough to be turned in and
registered. The winner Of the tourney
turned up in ]. K. Richards, whose net
score of 76 was the best Of the afternoon.
Mr.. Richards went the round in "a, but the
handicap OF 10 pulled his net score away
down. NJ. Thompson was a close second,
being beat out by but one stroke. Mr..
Thompson went out In IS, and with q handi-
cap of his net score was II. 8. P. Shaw
did the best playing Of the day, going
around the IS holes in 80. but as he had a
handicap of only strokes, he had to be
content with third place.

END OF REVOLT IN URUGUAY.
Peace Terms Signed by Government
and the Rebels.

A dispatch from Monteyideo yesterday
saws: Peace was signed today between the
Uruguayan government and the rebels.
The Uruguayan government has sent a
complaint to Brazil against the invasion OF
Uruguayan territory by Brazilian forces in
the Rio Grande province. who have joined
the Uruguayan rebels
There are general rejoicings here at the
signing of peace. The peace arrangement
leaves the position of the government and
white parties virtually the same as before
the outbreak.
Confirmation Of the termination of the
revolution in Uruguay was received yester-
day by Mr. Herrera, the Uruguayan charge
d'affaires in Washington.
The trouble in Uruguay arose from the
failure of the new president to recognize an
agreement made six years ago with the
whites. by. which. representatives from
that party were to be appointed to six OF
the goyernorships of the republic. The ter
nination. CT the revolution leads Mr.. Her
rera to assume that the president has ac-
coded to the demands of the whites.
Mr. Herrera says that n French company
has the contract for making the improve
ments at the port of Monteyideo. which are
to cost $12 100000.
