Tournament Dates.

Announcement from Boston that the
next annual Meeting OF the IInitea
States Golf association will be held
in Chicago on January IL, has set
the Boston golfing politicians to
talking about an eligible for the office
of president Of the national ~organiza-
ton. This position has thrice been
offered to Chicago and on each occa-
sion the individual to whom 1t has
been offered-David r. Forgan of On
wentsia--has declined on account of
business pressure.
The national championship having
been held In Boston this year, at the
Chicago Golf club the year before, and
over an eastern course the year pre-.
vious, 1t Is now fitting that the 1911
event should be assigned TO an inter
mediate club. Buffalo and Pittsburg
are both out for the event, but In rec
ignition of the victory of Fownes in
the national the consensus of opinion
seems to be that the event should be
awarded to the Oakmount Country
club. which has already done some
campaigning for the event.
Some action will be taken at the
annual meeting of the P. 8. G. A.
in regard to the entertainment Of the
Australian team which will visit the

The aggressor was the poorer marks

an hour later the sidewalk had been
scrubbed up and was dry n dusty

as little comment to the ARRAY as the
border men used to when a man was
killed over a game of cards in Abilene
or Dodge or any other OF those

ter of a century ago.
One of the most daring deeds in the
history of the metropolis was that
performed by Myles Mcdonnell. He
walked into a saloon, where he knew
a lot of his enemies were waiting to
kill him. The minute he stepped In
side the door three or four of his foes
opened fire on him. He drew his pis-
toll without batting an eye and an
swered shot for shot. The doctors Of
the Harlem hospital were busy for
several days thereafter attending to
the dead and wounded. Mcdonnell
killed two and seriously injured three
or four others. He himself got of

HE'S THE KING OF SPENDERS
Paul Ralney, q Popular New Yorker,
Who Gets Rid Of 100000
Year.

New York.-The greatest money
spender OF the present day is Paul
Rainey. Mr.. Rainey is estimated to be
worth about $50, OOO, 900 and 1t Is a
well-known fact that he spends ST.
100000 a year on enjoyment. He is
thirty-three years old and came of
age at the time his father died. He
inherited a fortune that was estimated
at about $4,000, 900, which was less
than half of the total of the vast
wealth which his father had accumu-
lated in the coal and coke industry
In Cleveland. Mr.. Rainey has made
no inroads on his fortune. On the

shrewd investments until now he is
reputed to be worth $50, 900, 600. Even
though he may spend a million every

come.
Singularly enough, neither Paul
Ralney nor his brother has the name
Of being dissipated. No scandals ever
have been associated with them. They
are not even considered as reckless
spendthrifts. There is nothing eccen-
tric about Paul Rainey or about the
way he gets rid of his million dollars
a year. He is a well-balanced young
man who does not seek TO attract at
tention to himself by frantic out
bursts Of profiigate waste. He simply
has a royal income and ~dispnses of il
by living on an extremely lavish scale
and taking out of life the greatest pos
sible enjoyment.
Since settling in New York eight
years ago Rainey has been as popular
rs any young man ever was in an ex-
elusive social set in America. He is a
fine, big. generous man, in whom the
love of living is strong.
Paul Rainey has been a dashing polo
player, a distinguished follower OF the
hounds, a brilliant yachtsman and a
rather spectacular figure ON the turf.
He has been prominent also as an au-
tomobilist. No mar a go in for
yachting on the scale he has without
spending hundreds of thousands OF
dollars; no man can go into the racing
game the way he has without spend
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
His purse seems to have no bottom, or
II 1t has it Is sc far away that 1t is
hard to find 1t.
Rainey has no town house. His
country place is at Jericho. L. L., and
is called Fruitledge Farm. This is a
magnificent estate and visitors to Il

Rainey's other country place is in

one of the finest and biggest packs of
hounds in the country. 1t was an or.
binary thing for Mr.. Rainey to gather
a score or two of his friends, put
them into as many private cars as
we're needed and take a run down to
his Mississippi plantation for a fort

Mr.. Rainey's. latest whim is a dash

The plant of the bachelor girl has
SO much reason that guests who wish
TO be popular should bear IL in mind.
Every hostess requires time to herself.
and more than a guest does, because
part of the hostess privacy must be
consumed in giving orders and keep
ing her house running. Therefore.
while a guest rests for half an hour.
the time may be occupied in domes-
tic business by the entertainer, who
then would like another half hour In
which to read or do nothing. There
is no question but that guests who
spend all the time with their hos
tesses are Just as unpopular and a
greater strain than those who swing
to the other extreme and are all the
spare time in their own room.
A visitor can always get away by
herself by declaring that she is tired
or that she wishes to write letters.
Change of air makes an excellent
excuse for being sleepy. and unless a
nap occupies all OF an afternoon the
hostess will not feel herself neglected.
But, If guest bears in mind that a
hostess has domestic affairs and her
personal correspondence TO look after.
