LIkecker and Fred Ilerreshoff Close Up. ir'ip f 11 Ill I HE qualification round of the championship drewta field of eighty partici pants, one of the largest in the history of these contests, and developed the most brilliant amateur golf ever seen here, three of the players finishing under eighty, and with many ties between that figure and eighty-eight, which marked the limit of qualification for the Presi dent's or Championship cup division. The golf medal offered for the best score in qualification went to Allan Lard of the Columbia Golf Club, Washington, with a card of 76, with Ernest N. Wright of the Woodland Golf Club, Auburndale, second in 78, C. L. Becker of the same club, third in 79, and Fred Ilerreshoft', runner-up to II. Chandler Egan in the Amateur Championship, fourth in 82. THE CARDS.

In this season's Inauguration Tournament Travis qualified at 81. The scores are all the more remarkable in view of the lengthening of the course, which is generally conceded to make it three strokes harder than last year, and in view of the fact that the round was played in a heavy downpour of rain. Never was there a better demonstra tion, however, of the peculiarity of the local course under conditions which else where would have made anything like golf utterly out of the question. The sandy soil of the fair green absorbed the rain almost as it fell, and the main diili culty experienced upon the putting greens was found in pools of water which at times made good work difficult.

Close contests were the rule rather than the exception throughout, and the cup-winners in every instance "ALL OVER BUT THE SHOUTING." H. P. Rhett, Crescent A. C, 48 53 101 F. A.
