] The wee drappie" at the Richmond County Country club. the green being a drop of 106 yards below the tee, has been made in one, according to gos- sip. G. L. Cutler in making the 14O ! yard hole at the springhaven Country { club hit the disc and dropped in. Us- ually the ball runs across the green i as though it had been putted after its carry
 i Records of the marvellous shot come 1 from all parts of the country. John J. { Fenelly holds it on ITS yard hole at the Kansas City Country club. George H. Bond has scored on the 1S2 yard hole at the Kearsarge Golf club. Will Anderson, the former open champion playing with T. T. sherman, was in from the tee with the midiron on the I 175 yard hole at the ApaWamis club. The down hill hole at the Scarsdale DGolf club, 251 yards, mas been made ! and D. A. Shaff in one. Donald Geddes anud D. A. Lorlng have the count on the 161 yard circus hole over the pond at Garden City from the tee. Be- fore the change to an pundulating green Walter J. Travis had the n1ys> tic fortune on the second hole there, 130 yards, and he has a similar rec ord for the tenth hole at Baltusrol, then full iron shot. Judson s. Todd says the 150 yard hole at the Knollwood Country club, the down hill hole, and the 11O yard pond hole have both been made in one more than once.
 Arthur McAleenan, one of the long, est left handed drivers in the country has marked one on the card for the. 194 yard fifteenth at the Holly wood Golf club, while J, M. La1nber- ton has done so for the TIT yard hole at the Harrisburg Country club. The 150 yard hole at St. Andrews, where the brook compels an accurate drop, is to the credit of Jock Hutchinson, and Lamie, one of the members, has had 8 one for the 160 yard hole at the Arsdale Golf club, The 150 yard hole of the Montclair Golf club has been done in one, but not by Jerome Travers, for champions are not so often favored by the witches as com paratively unknown players.
 1 A double event. has been scored 4 by N. P. Rogers, Jr., for the 12O yard hole at the Plainfeld Country club. He had a one there before entering West Point and this summer dupli- cated the shot as a full f1edged lieu tenant. His mother, president of the Women's Metropolitan Golf associa- ton, Is the only one of her sex on the single shot list, She gained the re- cord on the same hole, but when the distance had been shortened to 100 1 yards during repairs
 There is a story in the way Dr. Mark A. Brown gained the 1S2 yard holie at the Wequetonsing (Mich.) ) ] Golf club. The drive hit the f1agstick and caromed into the cup. He need ed the tally, for his opponent, Judge Judson Harmon, holed in two. The incident. recalls that when A. H. Tenn was professional at Aiken he got the short hole in one when conceding a stroke a hole to an amateur, who made a two, so that the freak shot only gained a half. If the club an udlS COulu UC bCdiCllCQ Ilidily HUI z records of holes in one stroke might be disclosed, possibly one such for each course, but without changing the startling nature of the feat.
 Some holes in two strokes border
 on the marvellous. Within three
 weeks c. J. Crookall noled with 8 cleik and mashie on the third hole at Dyker Meadow, which is more than three hundred yards. On iron shot holes a two is not infrequent al though always thrilling. In the match of the amateur championship at Atlantic City A. c. Lockwood and the late W. Holabird, Jr., halved the tenth hole in two, The incident has seldom been noted in match of suct importance. In a recent professiona
 competition at the Marine and Field club of thirty-slx holes Herbert Strong twice had the no yard hole ir two and Win Anderson had successive
 twos last winter in match at St. Au'
 gustine

 One of the British golf annuals print r list of. extraordinary feats in tn,
 game, but holes in one have no place In il The possible but improbable shot
 however, is almost ecllpsed by a state
 'nent that lat Neasden a ball stficl from tho tee carried to the green IT yards away and remained inside hol

 There is no prejudice against Ah1eri can occurrences in the summary, fol full credit is given to Edward S. Knapp for his driving stunt in 1901 at th' Westorook Golf club. He drove bal off the top of a hens egg, the top be ing slightly dented to afford a tee without ir1pairing the value of the egs for an omelet. Yet other authorities hail the holing of tee shot as mos extraordinary. Harry Vardon who hal nev sr had the luck, has proclaimed th' hoiing of 1S7-yard drive last spring at St, Andrews to be the most remark able shot of the year The veteran O
 the British open champions, Tom Nor ris, wh3 st S7 is still lusty enough tt play hole or two, Is another who hal never holed in one. But he once part nered a man who did so the fine drivC rolling gently across the green into tn
