A Prompt Start.
Promptly at 10 o'clock this morning play
was started in the qualifying round at
eighteen holes, and all the contestants got
away on good time, with about five minutes
separating the pairs. There was quite a
gallery around the initial tee to see the
start and watch the driving, and the on
lockers were rewarded with an exhibition
of the best. The little white balls scared
aloft or SKINNED near the ground with sur
prising accuracy. and there was not a
topped ball in the lot Par golf appeared
to be the rule OF play on the first three
holes, and in several cases Colonel Bogey''
was worsted. In addition to the splendid
driving. the approaching and putting were
also Of high mark of excellence.
Mr.. Morvin Thompson Chevy Chase, and
Mr.. Edwin Seton, Columbia. had the honor
of starting the tournament, the former
driving Off promptly at 10 o'clock. while
Mr.. Alex. Britton and G, A, Pope. jr., Bal
players were watched closely on the nearby
holes, and if this be taken as a cri-
terion, Messrs. Lafferty, Lee Harlan and
Jenkins looked the best of the three organ
tzations represented.
Mr.. F. o. Horstman the captain Of the
Chevy Chase team, reached Washington
yesterday. and. strange to say, he was
paired off with his old rival, DR.. Lee Har-
ban, for the qualifying round
