Thomson and W. A. Rupp, tied at this figure for last place in this division and Rackham won out on the draw, the other three dropping to the second division. The first division included a number of low handicap . players and with these olavers pretty evenly matched, the tournament promised to bring out some keen competition. E. C. Beall, of Uniontown, a former winner of the North and South championship, finished well up in the first division, as did Sam J. Graham, of Greenwich, another player whose chances were very much favored to win the coveted prize but who came to grief in the first round of match play and was put but of the running by Joe Bydolek, of Buffalo, who won the match by the narrow margin of 1 up. First Match Round E. L. Scofield, runner-up in the qualifying round, was defeated 2 and 1 by F. T.

Hunt, of 'Worces ter. Mahan, who was down at the fifth, annexed the next two holes and then proceeded to win the match by playing the next eight holes in twenty-nine strokes, as follows : 2 3 4 4 4 4 5 .3. Bydolek and Graham, who played the closed match of this round, were all even at the turn and again all even on their way to the home green, where Gra ham overplayed his long putt for a birdie 3 and missed the return. Others who survived the first round fray were H. J. Blue, of Aberdeen, who won from W. S. VanClief, of Richmond County, by default, and J. W. Munro, of Zanesville, who put Beall out of the running on the fourteenth green. C. L. Maxwell, of Tren ton, came through at the expense of H. H. Rackham, 6 and 4.

Chapman won by 6 and 5. He went out in 37 against Bydolek and picked up a couple of difficult birdies as he went along. Bydolek didn't have a bad hole on his card but he slipped up on the greens, here and there, and was 4. down at the end. of the first nine holes. He won one of the next three but lost the other two and went out of business on the thirteenth green. Chapman came through to the semi-finals in company with Muriro, Keating and the medalist, Brown.

The medalist played the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth holes in 3, 5, 2, 2, or in a total of two strokes under par figures, and was 3 up at the turn where he arrived in 36 to his opponent's 39.
