tary of the Metropolitan Golf Associa-
ton. announced yesterday that 100 en-
tries had been received for the Metro

will begin tomorrow on the links OF the
Nassau Country Club. II Is true. of

about New York Is IN n most fourishing
and healthy condition. and. moreover, 1870
entries accompanied by an entrance fee Of
s. each mean the addition OF $500 to the
funds in the VI O. A. treasury. but IN
spite or all that Mr.. Barnes refused to
cheer up. What troubled him was the
llttlc fact that each OF the 100 entrants
must play thlrty-six holes In the qualify

faces the task OF getting the big field
around the Nassau course twice during
the daylight hours.
