tournament OF the Chevy Chase Club were
late in arriving at the course this morning.
and It was 1870 o'clock before Ormsby
McCammon and r. o. Horstmann started
their match. Soon after DR.. Leo 8. Harlan
ana A. 8. Mattingiy. both Of the Columbia
Golf Club. began their match in tho semi

arst TINA that DIR. Harlan had ever been
in the competition for the consolation.
The flnals In the third sixteen were be-
gun later between Talcott OF the Washing
ton Golf Club and o. Perrin OF the Elk
ridge Club.
One feature that was particularly notice
able was the fact that 90 many Of the con-
testants In the handicap showed UP early
to play on their matches. Long before the
golfers who were to compete In the club
cup semi-dnals ana the consolation cup
semi-finaIs had arrived at the course many
OF the enthusiastic and loyal devotees OF
the game were upon the greens playing
their matches to settle the supremacy In
the handicap
Before beginning they would gather about
the score board and there discuss the eff
forts Of the Handicapped In hts Anal work
VA A0huA1AS lAclI 8Oti IeCOTUS.
Many were of the opinion that II they
had not engaged in this or that tournament
that the Handicapped would have been
more lenient with them when he arranged
the handicaps for today. This line OF ar
gument was not alone confined to the older
players, but among the younger golfers
whose handicaps had been marked in the
netghborhood OF 9. 7. and 8.
+ One player In the latter classes was moved
to say that "one has to take the conse-
quences when he has played a match out of
town"
9ood-Natured Argument.
But all of the argument was good natured,
and the matches were enjoyed. The fact
that the weather was most inviting and the
green's in the best possible condition made
the golfing ideal. Some of the handicaps of
the day were: Fours, DR.. L. L. Harlan, w.
P. Compton, J. De Moss, Sam Dalzell, Nc
Cannon and Horstmann; SKIES. w. g..
