the principal event of the year. The tour
nament. which will close the series OF
United States championships will be held
from October 10 to - on the links of the
Chevy Chase Club Maryland, near Wash

The women from the west are certain
to be we'll represented. and they have
already made arrangements for special
quarters near the course. There will also
be big delegations from Philadelphia and
Boston. the New England women being
especially anxious to secure the aid of all
their best players. as the championship
has been held there for the past three
years. the present holder being Miss Mar

County Country Club. In 1906 Miss Har-
riet S. Curtis her sister. was the title

years the local district supplied most of
the winners. Mrs. Charles T Stout better

years. Mrs. Stout has been playing con-
siderably this season; indeed. she has
never wholly lost her fondness for the

return to championship play next month.

excellent golf. Last spring for the second
successive year. she won the metropolitan
women's championship. beating Mrs. l..

AQUEDUCT RACES
ALTER TURF DATES

NEW YORK. September 2s.-The OPEN
ing Of the race meeting today on the
Aqueduct track marks the first change
in the racing schedule Of the New YORK
season. the Queens County Jockey Club
having taken the dates abandoned by the
Brighton Beach Racing Association, and
so filled what otherwise would have been
a gap in daily racing. The reafrangement
brings the Aqueduct meeting forward
more than a month ahead of the custo-
mary schedule of the Queens County
course, for the meeting Of this week will
be substituted for the regular Aqueduct
fall meeting. for many seasons the last
meeting Of the year In New York.
The change substitutes the six days OF
this week for nine days at the end of the
season. but the arrangement is one that
Is perfectly satisfactory to the queens

Quoted at a profit in November under
the present conditions of the turf. and

the chances of loss on the Aqueduct rae
ing are reduced from nine days to six
days. It is taken matter OF course
by horsemen that under the rearrange-
ment the New York racing season will
be shortened by nine days. The exchange
of date by Aqueduct leaves the last days
and brings the end of the season with the
finish of the Jamaica meeting on Novem-
Der 4.
With the Aqueduct meeting racing is
removed from Kings county for the re-
mainder Of the year, and the enforcement
of the anti-betting law for what is left
of the season will be by the officials of

Ottawa'S New Track.

OTTAWA. Ont. September 2S.-J. F.
Ryan of New York and A. Sherrer OF
Montreal have been here in connection
with the proposed new race track. The
people behind the scheme have 200 acres
under option. and the track would be
close to the city. The idea is to put up
a track and clubhouse along the lines of
the Blue Bonnets course at Montreal. To
do this 1t is estimated that S1jO.0OO would
be required. The promoters Of the
scheme would have little trouble in rails
ing this amount already many prom
inent horsemen in Ottawa and Montreal
have agreed to take large blocks Of stock,
and the membership Of the Ottawa Rae
ing Association is estimated at 300 at
the start. The Ottawa program is to
race spring and fall and follow Blue Bon
nets. 1t is altogether likely that strong
Canadian circuit, taking in Toronto. Mon
treal. Hamilton. Ottawa, Fort Erie and
Windsor, will be formed.

Contest Through Famous Fair.
mount Park.

PHILADELPHIA. September 2s-
Twenty cars are expected to start in the
oOO-mile road race to be held in Fair
mount Park October 10. Employees of the
racing board are at work at the dangerous
turns OF the course placing signs of warn
ing for the benefit Of the drivers who VIII
compete. ARRANGEMENTS have been made
to have the track policed and ambulances
and surgeons will be on hand In the event
Of accident. The Quaker City Motor CLUB
has charge Of the grandstand seating ana
the letting OF park spaces to spectators.
The course in Paramount Park is an
ideal one and contains enough sharp
turns to bring out driver and car to the
best advantage. The hairpin turns which
marked the originally selected route have
been done away with and few long
stretches substituted. minimizing as much
as possible the danger of accidents. The
distance around the course is eight miles,
twenty-five laps to the course. and there
will be plenty OF room for the thousands
who will flock to the park to witness the
race.
The first car will start from Memorial
Hall on the southern concourse at q
o. clock in the morning. At Sweet Briar
hill early in the race. comes one of the
most dangerous points OF the course, a
turn at the bottom of the hill. and thence

good American could have roasted me
