Another new feature was added to the
second days play of the annual spring
tournament of the Atlantic City Country

up lively interest for all those who met
with defeat, as special consolation match
was added 1t was 36-hole scratch medal
play competition, open to all defeated In
the first round of match play for the three
cups. and, m fact, any others who had
competed in the preliminary round and
had failed to qualify.
The first eighteen holes were played yes
terday afternoon and the second eighteen
were played this morning, the same scores
being allowed to count in the first half of
an open 36-hole handicap which is being
played today.
The semi finals and finals for the COVER
nors, presidents and special cups will be
the chief features today. The Fownes
family of Pittsburg has figured largely in
this tourney. The four who qualified in the
first set survived the first round. Two of
them met in the second round and one had
to fall by the wayside, while another was
beaten out only by a single stroke. The
remaining two will compete in the semi
