I ton u this was shown recently when the amateurs
had occasion visit the Morris County Golf Club
for the annual imitation tournament. Before they
arrived most ~ the players had heard vague re-
ports changes. but they had no idea what these
alterations meant.
From a simple eighteen hole circuit capable Of
presenting few really difficult situations, Morris

he passed through en- HIS way from Manila He
was greatly impressed by the energy shown in re-
building the business district, and he predicted
great future for the city whose growth earthquake
and fire could not check
The President showed traces OF the fatigue OF his
trip. He put in a strenuous day here devoting no
fewer than seventeen hours 10 various affairs. The
prettest feature Of his reception furnished by
the twenty thousand children from the public
schools who lined Van Ness avenue. waving small
flags and cheering Mr. Taft went by. The chill
dren were grouped according to schools and fur
nished the best sight in the sayy decorated city.
The President stopped for half an hour and laid
the cornerstone OF the Young Mems Christian AssO-
citation Building. About Cue-quarter Of the fund
for this new building was contributed BY the Iats
Morris X. Jesup OF New York The President
showed his appreciation Of the needs of San FrAo-
cisco as a great seaport by declaring that on his
return 10 Washington ne would do all IN his power
10 insure the speedy opening Of the big irnmigra-
ton station on Angel Island. a work which has
been delayed by seeming apathy at Washington.
Judging from what Mr. Taft said IN conversation
with Collector Stratton and other officials he will
see 20 il that the station = opened soon after Con-
gress meets. The President also announced that he
was strongly in favor OF ship subsidy that would
