RYE, n. Y. September 25.-There
seemed to be almost as many ties as
there we're prizes when the last score

Hrooklawn was the shining light in the
ranks Of the veterans. for he figured
in the winning list for trio of prizes.
His score of 1875, 141, was the best
net total for the two days of play; he
tied at 1877 with two others for the
best thirty-six-hole gross score. and
was one of five golfers who tied at 50
for the trophy for the maker Of the
of the tourney.
Mr.. French decided to play safe. and
SO took the prize for the best thirty
six. net score, for which he had no op-
position. AS the rules governing the

The kickers' handicap which was
played yesterday resulted in the most
gigantic deadlock Of all. no fewer than
fifteen of the survivors finishing on
even terms. Each man selected his
handicap before starting, and the net
score nearest to the lowest gross score
made yesterday was to be the winner
