IleT OF tne llOuTtn llSHty was ndTn6u IN
honor of Andrew Dexter, one of the prin-
cipal founders of Montgomery, who emil
grated from Massachusetts, in 1917. The
Dexter cup will also commemorate the
name of Montgomery principal business
street.
The Lafayette Cup
Much interest is attached to the La
Fayette cup, to be awarded the winner
of the fifth flight. This trophy was
named in honor Of the Marquis de La
Fayette who visited Montgomery In
April, 1925, on his final tour of the United
States Lafayette was met by promi-
nent delegation, and was publicly received
by Gov Israel Pickens, on capitol hill.
This cup was also named in compli-
ment to Ernest A. deFuniak. the presi-
dent of the Montgomery Country club,
and the descendant of an aristocratic
French family.
The Yancey cup, the prize of the sixth
flight was named in honor of William
Lowndes Yancey, one Of the greatest
leaders of the south in his time, and
probably one of the most brilliant ora
tors the south ever produced.
In addition to these prizes trophy will
be awarded the runner up in every flight
as well as trophies to the winners in all
the consolation flights. A handsome gold
medal will be awarded the player who
makes the lowest qualifying score, and d
silver medal to the one making the sec
ond lowest qualifying score.
Large Number to Be Present
Indications are that in the neighbor-
hood of 300 golfers will visit MontSom-
cry to participate in the southern tourna-
ment Great players from all parts of the
south will take part in the match. and 1t
is expected that the event will prove the
most successful of it's kind ever held In
this part of the country.
The course over which the tournament
will be conducted is now in prime condi-
ton, the putting greens being probably
as fine as any in the world. The PAINS
taking and indefatigable efforts of John
M. Ingls, the local golf expert has been
productive of the most wonderful results,
and visitors who have played over the
local course during the past few weeks
have declared 1t to be by far the pest
course in the south.
Qualifying Round Tuesday
The qualifying round will be played on
Tuesday, June 2, and from the scores re
