ON THE GOLF LINKS.

The next championship tournament Of the
East Jersey Golf League will be held over
the links OF the Deal Golf and Country
Club. September % and %. This was Of
ficially decided upon at meeting of the
tournament committee last night. The
tournament will begin with an eighteen
hole medal play qualifying round, the
best eight to qualify.
The Baltusrol Golf Club has decided to
increase the annual dues $40 on all classes
of membership, beginning October /. AS
the organization has membership of near
ly seven hundred and fifty, this change will
increase the annual revenue more than
$1,000 1t is the intention to expend most
of this on improvements to the clubhouse
and course.
four-ball match in which amateurs and
professionals figured, was played Monday
over the links of the Forest Hill Field
Club. Fred Baldwin, the leading amateur
of the Glen Ridge Golf Club and Alec Cum
bell Cory, a former Forest Hill champion,
and George Pearson the professional The
former pair won by four up and three to
play at thirty-six holes. return match
will be played at Glen Ridge the latter part
of the month.
Herbert Strong. the. Apawa:nis Golf Club
professional, is playing well these days.
He made remarkable sixty eight at the
Century Golf. Club few days ago. Strong
did this in round with Peter Clark the
clubs professional. The former went out
in thirty-five. getting 2 at the fourth hole.
He had another at the fifteenth hole and
came home in thirty-three. The former
record was seventy-Six.
An innovation In the method of conduct
ing an open golf championship tournament
will probably be tried this fall by the East
ern Professional Golfers Association. At
an informal gathering in this city yesterday
afternoon the plan of offering two sets of
prizes was suggested. In the past the COM
plant has been that all the money has been
won by a certain few.
The remedy proposed by the eastern body
Is to have one set Of prizes open only to
those who have not finished in the money
in an open event this year. No attempt
will be made to classify the pros" the
idea merely being to make the tournament
attractive to as many as possible.
AS regards place for the championship
1t may be said that two courses are under
consideration. An unofficial offer of $500
has been received from the Forest Hill
Field Club and a purse Of $3.50 has been
guaranteed by the Apawamis Golf Club. A
meeting of the association will be held in
this city the latter part OF the month, when
the selection of date and links will be made.
The association, which has money in its
treasury, Is quite likely to add to the funds
donated although this might be found un-
necessary IL an entrance fee 10 charged.

The cz1R AT TWELVE
ROYALTIES IN YOUTH.
Incidents in Careers of CzT, King,
Kaiser and EmperOr.

The fierce light that beats upon the throne
reveals little OF the life OF the children of roy
atty to the gaze Of the public, even when they
are some day 20 occupy the seats Of authority.
The faces OF royal children are better known
than their lives The portrait Of a child or
youth who has risen TO power and whose feat
ures as ruler have become familiar is inter
esting, for from it one study the elemental
characteristics before they have been hidden by
the impress Of the artificial life Of royalty.
Nicholas II, the present Car of Russia, when
a boy was very shy. His father tried to teach
him that war was horrible It is said that the
walls of the room in which he studied were
covered with prints taken from newspapers
Illustrating the chief battles Of the Russo-Turk-
ish War His father, who became Car in 1883,
under the title Of Alexander III, used to tell
his children about this war, in which he had
participated, and conclude with the words:
Boys. war is dreadful. horrible, beastly. May
God ever keep you from seeing it or from draw
ing sword" Nicholas has learned something
about the horribleness Of war.
A story is told Of Nicholas when he put on
his first military uniform. This was on July 30,
1876. when he was about eight years old His
Uniform was that Of an officer Of the big
Pavlovsky Guard On that day the old EN-
perOr. Alexander u. took him by the hand and

Cambrian, pressed through the crowd in his
desire TO express his enthusiastic loyalty by
getting close TO the royal carriage. AS ne
reached the side Of the vehicle he stretched out
his hand The prince shook it and the Cambrlan
exclaimed 'T knew our prince would not be
ashamed to shake hands with a Welshman."
Proud" said the prince. and his reply was
greeted with a great cheer.
This story Is told about Emperor William Of
Germany, when he was boy.
II was a source Of much pleasure to the little
prince that the sentinels had TO present arms to
him. so much so, indeed, that he sometimes did
not wait till he was fully dressed, but hastened
down into the court to receive the military hon
ors which he loved so well. Great was his surprise
one day when the sentinels took absolutely no
notice Of him. Burning with Indignation he
rushed to his father and told him this terrible
fact with the utmost excitement His father
listened with sympathy, looked at him keenly
and then asked in a tone clearly expressive Of
doubt: ''Your dress is in perfect order. hope,
before you show yourself in publc?"
William blushed and answered, NO"
mo sentinel Is permitted to render the due
honors to prince who is not dressed entirely as
prescribed" calmly said "Unser Fritz" his
father
Prince William left the room, and since then
no sentinel has ever seen him dressed otherwise
than entirely as prescribed"
When at Bonn, at the age of eighteen, Prince
William did not permit the fact that he was
future Emperor to interfere too much with
having a good time.
It was at the age of eighteen that Francis
Joseph son of an archduke, ascended the throne
of Austria. He was then a gay and light heart
ed youth, who had had taste of war. On that
morning when his father told him that he was
20 be the new emperor he is said to have re
marked, "Goodby to the days Of my youth"
