posted all bulletins and drawings for
the play, and while a large gallery
followed the course of the women's
play the greater part Of the visitors
clustered about the start Of the course
and watched the broad expanse Of
links, dotted with players, from be-
meath the trees.
For the comfort of the spectators
the club has scattered a large num-
Der OF easy chairs and settees about
the grounds. The eighth hole is an
excellent point of vantage. 1t affords
a view of the driving over the hill
ground of the eighth hole.
The drive is over a series Of bunk
ers, which cause cold shivers for those
accustomed to play over easy courses.
THESE same bunkers, by the way, fur-
nish bad Judgment for balls driven
over the hill on the second stroke
from the teeing ground. The green is
rolling, and yesterday was very fast.
Many an unlucky driver was forced to
raise sand to get the ball back on the
green.
The ninth hole is another treacher-
Gus point. The drive from the eighth
lands the ball into heavy going.
When the drive to the ninth green is
made the ball strikes the green on the
top of the bluff overlooking the river.
The incline is toward the edge of the
bluff and only a fringe of high grass
left standing as a backstOp prevents
balls from rolling to the waters edge.
While all Of the green's are fast, the
visiting golfers appeared to have most
trouble with the ninth. The Mini
kahda players were more familiar
with the lay Of the land and ap-
preached the ninth green 1rwa esprit

Of Denver, "Old Rough and Ready"
cricketer, golf champion Of Colorado
and of the Pacific coast, was. abroad
early in the afternoon. He tried out
the course for the first time with a
guide, and greeted the speed Of the
greens with half-muttered ejacula-
tions Of surprise. He finally caught
stroke thruout. His driving was a
revelation to some Of the amateurs
who followed his play.
Mrs. Roope of Denver, 1902 cham
pion in the woman's class, was out in
the morning. She did not exert her
self in driving save to determine the
reaches. She put in more time on
close work on the green's. Mrs
Sprague was also over the links IN
the morning, but was doing, lit little
work.
None Of the st. Paul entrants were
in evidence yesterday. Jaffray who
carried the battle up ito the last
stroke, to Bend, at Winona, was on
the green's from about o'clock I'M
til nearly 6. Jaffray does not incline
to the belief that a man grows stale
with much practice at golf and fol-
lows up rigorous round of work.
While not satisfied with his form yes
terday Jaffray is nevertheless dan
gerous competitor and is thoroly ia

out yesterday afternoon and his play
was closely watched. Cady showed in

Wednesday morning. Stewart of the
Douglas county club, Omaha, looked
over the lay Of the land and made one
or two drives which opened the eyes
of the gallery. Miss Anna B. Davis,
winner of the women's championship,
and Miss Heffelfinger were also out
yesterday.
