Chicago has been selected for the annual
meeting of the United States Golf Associa-
ton. 1t will be the first time since the organi-
alton in 1854 that the annual meeting has
not been held in this city. The executive
committee had previously announced the
annual meeting for January 10 at Del
monico's. This is now rescinded and the
executive committee makes announcement
OF Friday evening g. January IS. as the time
and Chicago as the place. Secretary Nor
gan states that the action 10 taken in response
to a petition signed by the Western golf
clubs and by a large number OF prominent
play ers in the West.
The Western clubs, which have borne
their fun share in conducting the national
champion ships. would seem entitled to the
annual meeting at least once in three years.
The petition. OF which the following is n
copy. had consequently the support OF many
Eastern golfers. IL read:

GE~NTJENES.-We herahy petition your hon

In existence for over ten years, and although the
game In the West. ard especially 10 Chicago and
vicinity. has grown In importance each year since
Its Inception here, We have never been honored
with an annual meeting. We believe that in the In
terCsts OF golf IN general, and OF the L. 5. O. 4.
In particular. the annual meeting should be held

We believe that II the next annual meeting is
held IN Chicago 30 much interest VIII he mani
tested that II will result III = large accession TO the
club members OF the L. ;. G. A., both associate
and allied. The L.. s. @. !. and It's executive com.
mlttee should encourage and cultivate the game
in the West and South by exhibiting a truly IA
tional split IN all OF It's actions.
We believe that = meeting held in Chicago will
