E. B. Calvert, chairman of the green's
committee of the Washington Country
Club, said last week that the goat
contest will start the first week in Sep
tember instead of this week, as original
ly intended. The beginning of this con-
test was postponed on account of the
johnson cup competition, which is now in
full sway at the club. 1t Will come to
a close the last week in this month,
and II is expected that nearly all the
players in this competition will enter
the goat contest.
Eighteen entries have already been re-
ceived, and, judging from the great in
terest shown by the members, II will
undoubtedly meet with the same success
as has the johnson cup competition
Some of the best players of the club have
entered, among them being W. G.. Cam
pell W. H. LittIepage,- and Dy. Loren
B. T. Johnson: chairman of the house
committee. Z. B. Calvert has also en-
tered.
The handsome medals are now on ex-
hibition at the clubhouse. They are
of special design, and show in relief the
name Washington Country Club, and a
goat on one side. and the other side will
have the name of the owner engraved
thereon.
The conditions of the contest follow:
l. Competition match play under post
ed handicap, the number of strokes to
be conceded to be three-quarters of the
difference between the handicaps of the
players. Strokes to be given at holes as
indicated on card posted in clubhouse.
2 A. member holding a medal may
challenge any other medal holder, the

3. The loser may challenge the winner
but twice for the recovery of his goat"
and for each unsuccessful effort forfeit
a golf ball to the keeper Of his goat
4. A member having lost his goat
challenge any holder of a goat" pro-
vided he forfeit a golf ball for each fall
ure to win.
s. Under no conditions may a match
be played for more than one goat at
a time.
6. At the end Of the prescribed period
of play, December 1, the player holding
the most number of goats" will be ap-
pointed the "goatherd" and be presented
with a special medal, which will become
his permanent property. All the goat"
medals will be returned to their original
owners, ready for the next season OF
play.
AS nearly all the women members Of
the Washington Country Club are away
on their vacations, the weekly Journeys,
which were held every Saturday after
noon, will be postponed until the first
week in September. Much interest has
been shown in these matches by the
women, and it is expected that many
more will take part when they are re-
sumed next month Each Saturday a
handsome silver trophy is offered by
one Of the women of the club.
