announce that as the result OF the

famous Culebra cut the canal may be
ready for shipping by next December.
Even earlier than that light draft yes

The thirty-four steam shove1s now
in the cut handle only 100000 cubic
yards of earth and rock per month.

as the depth of the cut increases and
the available room for shoveling Is re-
duced. Col. Goethals, however, has as
sembled fifteen dredges with q monthly
capacity Of 100000 cubic yards, and
these will be floated into the cut as
soon as the dixie is destroyed.

OPEN GOLF TOURNEY
CONDITIONS CHANGED
To Avoid Congestion in Play by
Doubling the Time of
the Fixtures.

NEW YORK. August 1L-Competitors
IN the national open golf championship,
over the links Of the Country Club, Brook
line, Mass, next month will find condi-
lions widely different from those In vogue
last year at Buffalo. Instead of two days
being devoted to the tournament, double
the time has been allowed, during which
two qualifying rounds, Of thirty-six holes
each, will be run Off.
80 much congestion and confusion took
place at Buffalo last year that it became
evident some alteration had to be made
III future tournaments. Moreover. with
the f1ve foreign professionals Rs COMPETE
tors this season. the field is likely to be
much greater than ever before. This
prompted the United States Golf Asso-
citation to send out circular to various
professionals in America outlining the
proposed changes and asking for opin-
ions. The letter follows:
lowing to the fact that there will be
an extremely large entry list in the open
championship. to be held in September at
the Country Club. at BrOokline. Mass 1t
is necessary to change the conditions Of
play in order to handle the field.
1T Is proposed to start the competition
September 16. half of the total entrants
drawn by lot to play thirty-six holes, the
lowest thirty-two scores to qualify for
the championship.
September II the other half of the
total entrants are to play thirty-six holes.
the lowest thi.ty-two scores to qualify
for the championship.
September IS the sixty-four players
having qualified are to play thirty-six
holes, and September 10 the sixty-four
players having qualified are to play an
other thirty-six holes. making the total
of seventy-twO holes to decide the cham
pionship.
I'm case Of tie it is proposed to have
1t played off Saturday. September ~. I'm
der this arrangement the field can be
handled properly. without. the playe be-
ing called out to play at the break of
day, and every competitor will have a
fair chance"
1t is understood that the expression of
opinion on the part OF professional golfers
throughout the country was practically
unanimous in favor Of the change, and
the subsequent mail vote Of the execu-
tive committee of the United States Golf
Association decided the question. The
new plan is merely an adoption Of the
British idea. and is considered the only
feasible method so long as the champion.
ship is decided by medal play.
