Golf as a Science.

New York World: The performance
of James Braid, the veteran Scstch
golfer, in winning the British profess
sional championship for the third time
after an unparalleled display of bril-
liant driving and accurate putting, has
raised the question whether golf has
not reached the summit of human skill.
Braid did 2S consecutive holes in an
average of four, several in three, and
two holes in a half round of nine in
two To do a hole in two, the ball be-
ing driven so near the cup that it may
be holed out with the next stroke, is
not rare with the element of luck
what it must always be in golf. To
repeat the feat in the same match is
genius, evidencing fatal precision OF
which the amateur must despair.
In the foursome professional con
tests at the Brookline Country club
George Low last Wednesday, playing
with another professional, did IS holes
in II, repeating the record with an am
ateur partner Thursday. Low has II
times covered the, 6.300-yard Baltusro
course in II.
This is equivalent to driving a goli
ball from the city hall to within eight
blocks of Central park in So strokes
Is being required for putting it into
a Az inch cup. And that not through
fair way. but over and by hazards Of
all descriptions, natural and artificial
l-bunkers. sand-pits, ponds, ravines
calling for marvellous. accuracy in ain
and muscular control in conjunction
with headwork, which raises the game
to the dignity of a science.

Fitzsimmons took seat at Marion's
table about three years ago, and his
appetite picked up wonderfully after
that. For some unaccountable reason
his hunger refused to be satisfied, and
during the past year he has been eat

asked him for the inside quotations ON
cereals, whether the egg market was
going to break or butter remain firm.
He replied that he was dealing in fu-

For some time past it has been an
open secret on the curb that the young
broker had ,cornered a certain stock,
but it was generally understood that
delivery was not to take place until
next Easter When Marion failed to
appear at her accustomed place one
morning the rest of the patrons guess
ed the reason. They put it up to Fitz-
simmons, and he admitted that Miss
Mccoy and himself had decided to
wait on each other for life There
were congratulations all around, and
then a continuous procession Of cut
glass, silverware and bric-a-brac be-
gan to wend it's way toward the hand
some brownstone house in the Pros
pect park slope section of Brooklyn,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzsimmons will
reside.
The wedding took place the other
afternoon in Brooklyn. Miss Lillian
Mccoy, sister of the bride, was brides
maid, and John O'Connor, fellow bro
ker, was best man.
The wedding has been the one topic
in the restaurant.

smoothed the wrinkles out of the table

A Proper Conclusion.

Tom l.. Johnson is still mayor OF
Cleveland. That is as it should be, we
believe. Johnson has been a power
for good there. He has been a thorn
in the side of the republicans because
it is hard for political partisans to
recognize good in one of an opposing
party.
Not for Cleveland, it is reasonably
believed, but for the advantage to the
national republican party that rests in
the control of great city like Ceve
land. Theodore Roosevelt became re-
sponsible for one of the strongest fig
ures in our national life resigning from
congress in which he was a powerful
factor to attempt the wrestling of the
mayoralty from Johnson. The effort
failed as we think it should. To have
won against such odds is as great q
triumph for the mayor as one could
wish. The affair, instead of elimina
ting him from the Cleveland situation
has made Tom l.. johnson a force in
the national politics of his party.-La
Crosse Tribune.
The sentiment reflected in the Trib
une is but one of the many expressions
of the same kind that have been made
since the result of last weeks election
became known. 1t is not likely that
President Roosevelt will make another
spectacular leap into the arena of mu
nicipal politics in the near future, fol
the dose administered to his pet candi
date will probably hold him for while
