This company's tours of the last
three seasons we're highly successful
in every respect, and placed this COM
pany in high repute in the fifty or
more cities It visited. as Il had already
gained during the past ten years in
New York, Boston. Philadelphia, Chi
cago and few other very large
centres to which Il has confined its
former attentions There were sew
eral years during which the larger
part of American cities were without
grand opera presentations OF any
kind, especially those given in the
English language, and the Aborn or
ganization consequently filled a long
felt want, finding such a warm well
come everywhere as to encourage
Messrs. Aborn to increase the size and
potency OF this company each succeed
ing season, adding TO the list Of favor
ties it formerly contained many more
prominent American operate stars
who had hitherto never appeared on
tour.
Aborn English Grand Opera Com
pany IS appearing mainly in such
cities as will support an engagement
of one week or longer. making only
a very few one, two and three night
stands. and these only in cities where
they are assured Of a large clientele
for grand opera.

scheduled for tomorrow in the national
golf championship at Garden City, as
a result of the four third-round matches
that were played today.
1t was a day of dark skies and op-
pressive heat, and the golfers seemed
to feel the depressing conditions, for the
golf played was in most cases as duh as
the weather. The results of the four
matches were as follows: Evans elimi-
mated Walter ]. Travis, the grand old
man of golf" by up and to play;
Anderson advanced to the semi-final by
defeating Tom Sherman by up and 3
to play; Jerome Travers. the defending
champion, beat Archie Reid by up and
to play; and Herreshoff beat P. W.
Whittemore, OF Boston, by 3 up and 10
to play. OF the survivors, Evans is from
Chicago, Anderson from Boston, and the
other two from the metropolitan dis
trict. The Evans-Travis match attracted
the biggest gallery of the week.
The other two matches resulted much
as had been expected. At the end of
the first round Herreshoff was up on
whittemore Herreshoff evened it once
more Dy SINKING a % -Ioter on the nInIn
green and won the next two. On the
twelfth Whittemore had a splendid
chance to win the hole but he took four
puts and lost il. Thereafter it was
easy for Herreshoff. The Anderson
Sherman match was pretty much An
derson's all of the way, though both he
and Sherman holed some startling puts.
