two years clubs in nearby Maryland
have staged both sectional Journeys,
Chevy Chase and Columbia having
had the amateur events in 1882 and
having staged the open trials in 1882
and 1888. Indian Spring was the
only local club which made a bid for
either tourney for 1884, but the pow
-that-be within the councils Of
the U. S. G. A. have decided to send
the amateur trials to Baltimore, at
the course over which the national
sinon-pure title chase of 1882 was
played. Five Farms is rated as one
of the outstanding courses of ths
East and should be in excellent condi.
ton on August 81. With the cham
oionship proper to be staged at Boston
in September and with every en-
trant who qualities sectionally to

is no question that the entry list from
the Capital for the 36-hole sectional
