An interesting point brought up during a
four-ball match held recently the Essex
County Country Club links. One player, who had
been conceded several bisques, took so many
strokes at each hole that a single bsque never
did him any good. whereupon he suddenly de-
clared himself by taking two bisques at a certain
hole This raised a howl from the other mem
bers of the party. who protested that II was
wrong 10 take more than single bisque at a
time.
The matter put up 10 member of the
executive committee Of the United States Golf
Association for decision, and he promptly ruled
in favor of Mr.. Duffer." The executive says the
same point has been brought up before. He added
that a player could use all his bsques at one
hole if he so desired unless some special agree
rnent had been made to the contrary

Importance i'm the case today. Speci-

THE BOAT UPSET..
Dentist Lambert of Lubec Drowned
Companion Barely Escapes.

Lubec, Me-, May 14.-Frank H. Lam
bert. IS, dentist, was drowned late
Wednesday night, and his companion,
William Keegan, was barely rescued
by two men who put off from shore.
The accident, happened at Lubec mar
rows and was caused by the upsetting
of small boat in which they were
returning from Campobello.
They struck the edge of the tide
which was running about six knots an
hour, and this capsized their craft.
Their cries attracted the attention of
two young men on the Lubec shore,
and they succeeded in saving Keegan.
Lambert was nowhere in sight, and
probably was swept out to sea at once.
Lambert was a native of Deer Island,
New Brunswick, and a widow survives
No trace of the body had been found

Casablanca, May 14.-There was an
encounter here May IL at one Of the
city gates between some French and
Spanish troops quartered in the port.
The Spaniards fired first, it is alleged,
and the French Zouaves replied in
kind. One Spaniard was killed and
another was wounded, while the
French had two men wounded. Fol-
lowing the incident Colonel DesMou-
tiers assumed command over the area
reserved, under the policing agreement
to Spain.
The encounter was the outcome of
a quarrel between some Spanish SOL
diers and an unarmed Algerian sharp
shooter. The Algerian was knocked
down and beaten by the Spaniards and
is now dying. A sergeant Of Zouaves,
who was in charge of the gate, rushed
to the rescue Of the sharpshOoters
and with the aid of a French subaltern
tried to intervene. The sergeant and
the officer were without arms At this
point some Spaniards who We're be-
hind a wall opened fire. The inter-
change of shots continued for some
minutes with the result above stated.
The firing from the French side was
done by Zouaves.
