They say that stocks went down yes
terday for lack Of support. Nothing
surprising about IL. Actually they should
have closed down the Stock Exchange
and declared a general holiday, for yes
terday was day apart. the day agreed
upon by the Stock Exchange firms for
their annual tournament. Commission
men We're buster thumbing the code OF
St. Andrews than ledgers. and the mes
senger boys were out there at the links
at the westchester-B iltmore Country
Club caddying and for the day carrying
around bags of oddly shaped instru-
ments instead of the better known
satchel of bonds and stock certificates.
History has It that an ancient King
of England refused TO desert his game
of golf even In the face OF the threat
of invasion. So il King could be-
come so deeply immersed In the game
OF stymies and foozles. why should not
the Stock Exchange firms give the laugh
for the day to the poor backsliding
ticker? OF course, the King may have
been two down at the time, with n box
Of balls on the match. That might
easily explain his conduct on that par
ticular OCCASION. However. be that as
Il may, the brokers also are entitled to
day Off occasionally. especially when
their veins are tingling with a desire to
be at the throat of Col. Bogie.
IL may have been trife unfortunate
that the Stock Exchange firms should
have selected the same day for their ont
ing as had been agreed upon by the New
York Flour Club for IN annual golfng
festival and gym<hana of that organiza-
ton When one of the fellows who be-
iieve in saying 1t with -four slapped his
thighs by way OF coaxing the ball into
49, WI
above the trees like the explosion Of
big bertha Some of the brokers came
in with their eyes clogged up with sam
pies thus literally distributed, but other
wise the tournament was a huge sue
cess. Then, besides, the presence Of the
flour men lent itself to a ready alibi.

Bleidgreu. who with 80. was down.

The high wind received still more
prominence when the scores were sorted
out by way of determining the winner Of
the low gross. D. w. Gurnett was the

won the guest prize with return OF
down to a score of 1902.
