TOURNAMENT
PROVED TO Be
GREAT SUCCESS
Golfers Give Much Credit to
Colonel F. E. aobbs for Efforts
in Entertaining Players.
VISITORS LEAVE THE CITY.
Meeting One of Best in History of
Association, They Say-Some Com
ment on Weeks Events.

The tournament of the Western
Golf association. which closed Satur-
day at Rock Island arsenal, was one
of the most successful ever held by
the association. Much of the success
of the meeting was due to the pains
taking efforts of Colonel F. e. Hobbs,
president of the club No effort was
spared by Colonel Hobbs and the of
Ulcers of his staff to make the tourna-
ment success, and they made it their
duty to attend to the many little de-
tails which count so much i'll the sue
cess or failure of such an event as
that of last week. The members of
the local association feel greatly in
debted to Colonel Hobbs. The visit
ors. too. showed their appreciation of
The many cOurtesies he extended in a
personal and official way, and depart
ed expressing heartiest thanks TO him
and through him to the club He en-
tertained large number of the Wis
itors. and at all times looked after
the comfort and convenience OF the
competitors.
Here's what j. G. Davis says in the
Chicago Tribune of the entertainment
Of the visitors here:
Altogether the tournament was one
of the most successful in the history
of the event and not little of the
success is due to the officials of the
Rock Island Golf club, notably Colonel
Frank E. Hobbs, its president. The
visiting golfers were given most hos
pitable treatment by he colonel and
ether officers on the island and by the
civil officials and members of the club.
The course is one of the most pictur-
esaue and diversified in the country
and the w G. A. officials and contest
arts will have kindly regard for the
club when next it feels disposed to
apply for a tournament
John ID. Cady was an important man
in the tournament, in more ways than
one. In the first place he engineered
the campaign that landed the meeting
for Rock Island, and he has been very
active i'll looking after the details of
the arrangements. He entertained a
number of the Chicago visitors. And
yet he was able to play a sufficiently
good game to reach the semi-finals
Cady had to battle for his place in
the race, and his opponents in every
one of the match games but one dur
ing the week kept him struggling for
the victory for more than the regula-
ton number of holes. He started off
by playing Ardo Mitchell a 10 hole
match the very first morning of the
match play. Then he won the next
| from Chandler Egan in les than the
required Is holes. But Thursdays &c
hole match with A. B. Lambert was a
| 81 hole contest. and he kept up the
hattie with H. w. Allen in the semi
final for So holes before he finally was

WASHINGTON OFFICE WORKERS.
Not the Inzy Lot They Are Popularly

I suppose it Is due to the contumely which has been publicly thrown on "ofice- holders" for 133 years that in half the conversation you hear which 'bears on such subjects the occupants [of these 200 offices here in Washington are spoken of ss Incompetent, lazy and iwood for nothing else. An old joke in lMessachusetts says that, if q man is At for nothing else, he can keep tavern or Ego to the general court, Half tho tpeople you talk to seem to think that hhe 200 offices In Washington are filled rwith s0,000 such persons This is very unjust to them, and 1t shows great stupidity and ignorance on the part of Ipeople who say such things. Tho Efruth ir. as any examination of the facts shows, that in very many depart Fments of administration the work done at Washington challenges tho wonder and respect of the experts of 4he world Whoever will take the i HG0uDlF to IPbu lIlt ItpVl lN NillII isN ht from these 200 offices will find that he is reading the work of men and wo1n- en whom he cannot help respecting, who are thoroughly up with the times, The winter season is little apt to call together the chiefs of administration from all parts of the world, indeed, where they have been engaged in their duties of this the consequence fig that for the six months Of winter there pre an unusual number of scientific men of the fr ability joined to such men who are always there, Probably no university in tho world could bring together so large a body of accom- nlished men of science SIS could he col- lected at once in the winter months at Washington The educators of Amer lea have found this out Different rec lieious bodies have found it out, and, wholly apart from the larger system of popular education maintained by the District commissioners and by the other national schools which l have named there are five universities in Washington, some of which are large Iv endowed They bring together a large number of students-men and women-who have found out the ad- yantages of Washington as place of atudy There are great many rri- vate schools mostly for young women which collect scholars from all parts of the nation l do not wish to touch any personal susceptibllitles, but l will sat- tbo+ there ia no nuhlic library in America where one works with more thorough satisfaction than he does in the library of congress The Carnegie library. also admirably administered, is an ohtect-lesson for people who are learning how to administer a public library.
