of the first sixteen being given the
harvest home" cup-a new trophy
just put up by the club. A special
prize will be given to the winner of the
second sixteen.
Chairman Earl Wheeler of the green
committee of the Washington Country
Club has announced that the goat
tournament recently started at that
tie interest has been shown in it.
Goat" tournaments were held at both
the Washington c. c. and Columbia in
19l2 and met with great success, and
this years failure is a great surprise
to those in charge.
The putting course at Columbia
which was discontinued, has been put
In service again and will be kept open
until there Is no longer a call for It.
The rest given it has done lots of good
and it is now in excellent shape.
With the completion of the event for
the presidents cup" at Chevy Chase
held until Thanksgiving day, when a
special handicap will be announced.
A Composite" tournament started at
Columbia October 25 and will run until
November %, two boxes of golf balls
having been put up as prizes by j. T.
Hendrick. According to the rules gov
erning the event, the entrants may
play as many rounds as they desire,
each round to be duly attested, and the
card turned in. At the end OF the al
lotted time the best scores made for
each of the eighteen holes will be
picked out and the one having the best
composite card will be given one box
of balls. the other going to the player
having the second best score. Several
small wagerS have been made that a
card as good as "a will be turned in.

LONG COURSES.-A few days
ago l visited the links of the
Shawnee Country Club at the
Delaware Water Gap, which
measures more than $500 yards,
and is in really excellent playing
condition for so new a course.
Two rounds clearly indicated to
me the desirability of practice
on such a course as compared to
the many stilted and cramped
short courses.
There are only four normal ono
shot holes on the course, and each
of these Is a beauty in demanding
a perfectly gagged effort of diff
ferent varieties. One hole, los
yards on the top of a rise, sur
rounded by traps. bears a fond
place in my recollections. for 1
got two. but 1t is by no means
easy to reach the green and stick
there.
The other short holes measure
134, 1877 and 225 yards, and each
is study without artificial
bunkering. Nearly all the other
holes are long enough to make
the golfer extend himself and
loosen up the muscles Of his back
and arms. A man who can play
such course in creditable figures
can play anywhere.

Interesting Comparison Between Pres
ent Day and Time Of Compilation
Of Domesday Book.

The famous Domesday book of VIII.
liam the Conqueror, which he ordered
when he had conquered England, was
not only an inventory of the estates,
but very careful valuation. This an.
Gent survey was strihngly like the
valuations Of today, the differences
arising out of the different industrial
conditions to be met. It included a
count of acres, classified as wood. pas
ture, and meadow land; of mills, fish
ponds and fisheries;; Of plows, hides,
cattle and slaves.
The land was valued as at the time
of Edward, again as when granted by
the conqueror, and again as at the
time of the survey. But If we set our.
selves in fancy to that early task. we
see at once how the industrial condi.
lions to be dealt with at that time
simplified the domesday valuation to
very little more than an enumeration
Acres differed little. excepe in their
power to yield crops; the social incre-
ment of value was almost negligible.
Today we have vast aggregates of
property brought together and devoted
as whole to single uses. Except as
an aggregate and for the particular
use which the property as a whole
serves, the several parts have relative
ly little value.-Engineer Magazine.
