Matches Hard Fought.
The playing of the first land second
rounds yesterday morning and afternoon
brought out several very stubbornly con-
tested matches, the progress of when was
watched with much interest by the gal
lery.
l.. W. Weaver carried the veteran Lee
Harlan to the nineteenth hole in the
round before the latter tri-
umphed by one up. On the final hole
Weaver drove out OF bounds twice and
then when his third shot from the tee
went over the green he gave up and called
Harlan back as the latter had perfect
lie for at least four. In the afternoon Al
Ian Lard took the measure of Harlan, and
John Clapp furnished surprise in the
same round by trimming Sam Dalzel
