OUTLOOK
golfers in the country, did not get his
famous long ball into action at all in
his match with Dyer. And his usually
indifferent putting became so careless
that he may be said to have lost the
match on this alone. Going out he
missed easy putts on the first, fifth
aud ninth, and coming in he lost
the eleventh for failure to negotiate
eisjlit feet, and failed to win the twelfth
which he had earned by dubbing an easy
four foot shot for a four.
Both players started badly, calling for
six and five strokes apiece on the first
two holes. Dyer took the third by a long
shot into the cup for a four, the fifth
!)V reason of Guilford's careless putting,
and the eighth by virtue of a stymie.
The rest were halved and so Dyer came
onto the turn three up.
Guilford's drive on the tenth was a
reward to the gallery enticed out by the
fame of his long shots. Those who know
the water hazard and the long hill will
recognize the virture of a ball only a
few feet short of the trap before the
green. But he lost at that. Dyer's ap
proach from a further position was a
delight to see, and then he holed out for
a three. Guilford four down. Dyer lost
the eleventh by his only careless shot on
the greens, halved the twelfth by virtue of
Guilford's again making him a present
of a short shot for a four, and also
divided honors on the thirteenth, both
players landing in the sandbank on top
of the hill and floundered around in it
like children at play. The fourteenth
was really the deciding of the contest.
Dyer made the 432 yards in two beauti
ful shots, took his two putts like a pro
fessional, and landed four up and dormie
while Guilford again made for a bunker
and a five.
And here Jesse Guilford, with all the
chances against hini, made his last stand.
The short fifteenth was credited to him
with three perfect shots, the sixteenth
with four while Dyer rambled into the
rough in both cases. And then the end
came suddenly, showing that the Inter
vale champion was not at his best. The
seventeenth is a short and ugly hole, but
has been the salvation of many a near
loser. For it is a possible two for any
player nerved to a desperate finish and
supported by fate. This was Guilford's
chance. Dyer had driven somewhat off
the green to the right. A perfect mashie
shot such as Carter made under pressure
would help the situation. But being his
bad day Guilford drove short of the trap,
and to his horror and his anxiety dropped
the next ball squarely into it, and the
third just out again. No need to watch
any more. Jesse Guilford, terror of
champions, had lost his match.

l.ADIEV DAY

On
lh Polo Field. II iv. ll..
Judf the IIoriilack Event.
Gathered on an improvised grandstand
under the trees inside the whitewashed
fence, a gay company of spectators wit
some good riding and a variety of sport
horseback in the weekly gymkhana games
Monday last. A squard of girls, guests
at the Carolina, provided a good exhibi
tion of riding and diversion, in all man
ner of equestrian contests.
Foremost on the program was what
might justly be called an omelette event.
One has to be not only in full control of
the eager charger, but a steady and even
rider to make any speed across the arena
escorting an egg in a spoon. The con
test was to- see who could transport a
bowl of eggs one by one in this manner
from one side of the field to the other.
And great was the catastrophe thereof.
Evidence of having competed in this skill
ful manoever could long afterward be
found on saddle and skirt. Miss Dorothy
Hughes of Boston led a large and laugh
ing field home in this culinary stunt.
The entry list of the games included
Miss Edna Jenkins of Rochester, Miss
Dorothy Barber of Englewood, Miss Rose
Briggs of Boston, Miss Mabel Pew and
Miss Hensel of Philadelphia and Miss
Frederika Kauffman.
Judging the events was Dr. R. W.
Pinney of New Haven, Connecticut, on
hand to assist those heralds of the course
George Leach, M. F. H., and Charlie
Picquet, master of ceremonies.
The pony p'ost was duplicated in the
following event. Pitted against Master
James Tufts, hero of the potato race,
and Mrs. George Leach, leader of gym
khanas, Miss Hughes and Miss Briggs,
Miss Barber and Miss Kauffman, Miss
Hensel and Miss Pew carried away the
honors in a furious race. The relay was
twice around the course, each rider doing
one turn, and delivering the precious
pouch to her partner who had to mount
after its reception. Not less than speed
in riding the distance, a fast mount and
quick get away was essential. In this
Miss Pew showed better form and more
skill than any of the others, eliciting a
round of hearty applause by her eagerness
to get away, and her dispatch once the
mail was in her hands.
The potato race was another contest
that called for quite as much patience
and skill as speed in the race. Armed
with spears, and lined up by their bar
rels the squadron resembled a cordon of
ladies-at-arms, if there ever was such a
thing, or modern Joan of Arcs, on con
quest bent. However their deadly pur
pose was limited to a pile of potatoes at
the end of the lists, and great was the
joy. of the spectators to see the fair
riders rush lance in rest upon the diminu
tive mark. Back and forth they fared,
but in vain attempt to outdistance James
Tufts, whose methodical care in spear
ing his tubors got the better of all
enthusiasm and landed him the prize.
The scarf race was a fast and pretty
ride in which Miss Barber and Miss
Kauffman outdistanced Miss Hensel and
Miss Pew.

Sure Way to Prevent
Hills and Hollows in Your Greens
L KEENS'. Keeper Flynn of the Marion Course says that "one
of the greatest objections to the use of stable manures for
making or renovating greens; is its tendency to produce hollows.
The decay of the litter and consequent shrinkage causes the turf
to sink in spots, often requiring bothersome and costly underfilling
to restore levels."
The base of Alphano being a thoroughly decomposed rich soil
humus in dry finely granulated form ; it can be benely incorporated
with the soil, giving a compact, firm, lasting surface.
Ton for ton, its humus value and plant food content is about
five times greater than, average barnyard manure; with the added
advantage of being free from weed seeds and odorless. As a top
dressing mixed with two-thirds soil, it is highly useful. Do not
confuse it with the raw unprepared humus (sold under various
brand names) which is being taken direct from its watery bed and
shipped to the purchaser.
