GOOD GOLF BY LIGHT OF MOON
Chicago Professional Makes a Record
at ~Onwentsia.

CHICAGO. Aug. 15.-As a result of a
wager. Fred Mcleod. professional golfer
of the onwentsis Country club at Lake
Forest. made the eighteen-hole course in
eighty-three strokes, aided only by the
dim light Of a half moon. He made the
first nine holes in thirty-nine, and was
going at a fast clip until the fourteenth
hole was reached. Then the moon went
behind a cloud and the rest OF the course
was finished in the dark. Mcleod used
iron clubs throughout, driving with a
putter to make the ball go straight, and
using a midiron through the fair green.
He laid nearly his approaches dead, and
did not lose a ball. The wager was that
he could not make the first nine holes in
better than forty-five.

gave point to this contention. Part
of the acute weakness shown by AM
erican Smelling in the last few days
has been attributed to the proposition
to reduce the tariff on lead. A bad
effect was produced by the reports of
the increasing agitation over the prop
osition of the railroads to advance
freight rates, and over the extensive
increase said to be involved IN the
changes puropOsed to the interstate
commerce commission. The threat to
take congressional action on the sub
ject opened up a prospect OF hostile
activity toward the project which was
not relished by those who have count
ed on the advantage of the increased
freight charges to the holders of rail-
road securities. A reduction in cop
per quotations at the New York metal
exchange was a factor in the depres-
sion shown by the metal industrials.
