AWARD OF NATIONAL JOURNEYS.

Speculation to the award of the various
national golf championships seems to favor either
Massachusetts Chicago for the amateur
test. Morristowr for the women's and Pittsburg
for the open. From what is overheard. Massa-
chusetts wishes the amateur championship. and
either the Myopa Hunt Club or the Brookltne
Country Club of Boston is suggested as a fitting
place 10 hold it. On the other hand. the Chicago
Golf Club and the Onwentsia Golf Club are both
mentioned aspirants for the award. and Western
players are backing up the claim with the conten-
ton that the principle of rotation should give the
contest to their section next season. The Norris
County Golf Club carried out the amateur cham
pionship Of 1888 with great success, and Ii is
now putting up clubhouse TO cost $4,000 it may

make application for one of the championships.
