BY I. A. FLEMING.

Let out another fold of the flag of
encouragement, of faith and hope
in the future of this country in its
business welfare and happiness. in
so far as a steady recovery from the
depression at the close of 1920 may
make for these desirable ends.
The pace is slow. somewhat un-
steady, but more or less certain; re-
covery may meet with unexpected
bad going and be forced to make a
fresh start again on the highway,
but the developments of the first
week in 1921 have been highly en-
couraging and therein is mead OF
satisfaction.
Many of our fnanciers were of the
would be attended by many COM
mercial disasters, by the tolling of
the bell for many large industrial
concerns. and. fortunately, they have
been agreeably disappointed and they
are willing to admit it
There is encouragement in this and
it is becoming more marked slowly
day by day. There are in all prob
ability some sore spots that may
need to be cauterized, but it is a fact
that many of these are healing and
will leave nothing more serious than
they contained.
If we had only our own troubles to
master, hesitation would soon disappear
and recovery would be at a more en-
couraging pace, but the sickness of con-
tinental Europe carries with it an un-
ture of our export trade.
Foreign Conditions.
Great Britain is making strenuous
efforts to put her finances back on the
sure foundation, literally pulling herself
UP by her boot Straps-SteEling ex-
change has scored gains of material
import during the past week. Despite
domestic trouble, business interests are
not losing sleep about Great Britain's
future.
Belgium, only partially destroyed and
much helped, has come back in good
shape, while France. saving to high
degree and home-loving is doing the
Phoenix act. but the rest Of Europe
is still struggling in the wilderness of
socialism, and the other ismS incident
to hard times. poverty and wars dis
aSter.
Great Britain's Revenues.
The revenues of Great Britain for
the fiscal year starting April I. 1920.
have more than met the expenses and
permitted the making of substantial pay
ments on obligations. This is much bet
ter than the record of the United States,
which, but for the banks and the Ameri-
can. people sin making loans and renew
ing them frequently. would have been
forced to seek some new impost to fur
nish the needed cash to keep the govS
ernmental machine going.
France has paid $3.50. .080, 900 to bond
holders in the United States.
There is encouragement in the fact
that in eight weeks there will be a
change of administration, in that this
nation will soon thereafter be at
peace; that the measures now being
formulated for the relief Of national
conditions that are not satisfactory
will be under way, with probable good
results.
Every day this last week. except
yesterday, liberty bonds moved on up

Fator put Ip one of his best rides on

his charge on his toes from the instant
he went to the barrier. and he put up
as strong a finish as has been seen
around here IN many weeks.
Under his rider Surf Rider proved that
he is youngstcr far above the ordinary

Surf Riders race was hummer and
he ran without blinkers, as he did last
time when Fator rode him, wretchedly.
and he was beaten nearly two lengths
by Missionary.
Irish Brigadier ran an excellent race,
too. the best he has yet shown He was

ished strongly and courageously.
My Plays effort wasn't much. He had
lot of bad luck in the early stages. but
he saved several lengths turning into
the homestretch and at the final eighth
pole he was In front. but he sprawled
about badly when driven in the final
run and would have lost the third end
of the purse In few more jumps.
Missionary looked like the winner at
the head of the homestretch, but there
he ran out with little Marinelli and lost
SO much ground he had no chance Of
success.

FOUR BALL TOURNEY
AGOLFING NOVELTY
Event at Hudson River This
Week Will Give Club Pairs
Their Opportunity.
by KERR N. PErRIE.

Quite a novelty In the matter OF a
tournament is to be presented TO metro
politan golfers this week by the Hudson
River Country Club. this being the four
ball event for club pairs for the William
Boyce Thompson cup under the auspices
Of the Westchester County Golf Associa-
tion. That the meeting will be q success
goes without saying. for in 1t the golfers
see offered in the terms of a three day
tourney with regular qalifying play and
match rounds the Identical form of COM
petition which has become so popular at
the club over week-ends Possibly this
weeks event is being thrust at the met
ropolltan iinksman rather suddenly. for
although 1t was conceived many weeks
ago the national championships Of the
last few weeks have kept 1t very much
In the background. BY another year.
however. the tourney is likely to receive
more than local prominence inasmuch as
several renowned pairs In other parts Of
the country have written indorsing the
form of play. but expressing regret at
their inability TO participate because OF
prior engagements.
But even if the competition this week
should be confined to local teams, 1t is
bound to be interesting inasmuch as
ulOSI OI tHc cluDS uTOuIlO NAVE Oue OH
more pairs by which the members swear.
Here Is a chance for these budding
bestballers who never get chance to
shine save in their Satur1a ay or Sunday
club competitions. The cup to be won
by the victorious pair is said to be
one OF the finest ever offered in COM
petition In this or any other neck Of the
woods. The trophy will be held by the
winners for one year, while the victors
and runners-up each will receive indiv-
dual prizes. There will also be prizes
for the winners Of the other eights.
The number of these will be determined
by the size of the entry.
The Thompson cup will remain in
competition until It has been won three
times by representatives of the same
club. when 1t will become the permanent
property Of that club. The Hud son
River Country Club may be reached by
train from Grand Central Station to
Csreystone, where the club bus will
meet the train on the day of the
tournament. or by automobile by driv
ing up Broadway.
Entries should be sent either to the

play will begin at 80. while the clos
ing time has been set for :3o.
Jim Barnes will probably start a firm
favorite to-day In the annual open cham
pionship tournament Of the Westchester
County Golf Association. Il IL not often
that James Is lost sight os when the
players are teeing UP In . competition of
the kind but in this particular case the
odds are decidedly with the big fellow in-

own home lot. the links of the Pelham

fessional.

him to-day the national champion5hip.
Another star performer. ineligible last
year, who has been made over into a
Westchestcrite, is George Mclean OF
Grassy Sprain Nor should 1t be forgot
ten that Tom Kerrigan Of Siwanoy nos,
during the year, added fresh lustre to his
name by his brilliant play In the British
open championship, where he was the
second professional to finish.
Women golfers are advised that it is
not necessary for them to enter through
their club secretaries for the tourna-
nent which Is to be held over 9he links
of the Belleclaire Golf and Country Club
beginning Monday. Instead they may
write personally to the club. As al
ready announced, an excellent field is
assured and the chances are very strong
now that among the stars not previous-
ly announced as likely to play will be
Miss Alexa Stirling national champion
from 1915 until last Saturday. when she
was runnerup to Miss Marion Hollins.
The excavation and construction work
OH the new clubhouse Of The Scarsdale
Golf Club. at Hartsdaic. n. T., was
started about month 2rQ. and rapid
progress is being made in the work. It
is expected that the clubhouse will be
enclosed before the real cold weather
sets in, and that It will be fully conn
rleted and ready for use when the 1922
season opens. In celebration of the be-
ginning of the work on the new club
house a big programme has been ar
ranged for Columbus Day. A special
luncheon and dinner will be served. and
each member Is entitled to invite quests.
