Wiikklino, W. Vn., July 10. Developments
of tbli afternoon and evening in tlio mining
districts of West Virginia warrant tho ouutnp
tlonthat tho strike of tho coal diggers, whloh
began with such amah this morning, will ex
tend wtthlu a fow houra to most of tho competi
tive rolnoa of tho State. Tho hitherto lnvuinor
ablo Monongnh district elves evidences of a
general suspension of tho diggers in tho bis
voln to-morrow. Of tho 2,000 men In thta field,
BOO hare struck, and tho result of the two
meetings held by Rugeno V. Debs and his associ
ates to-day very llkoly trill bo a general sus
pension of work.
This attornoon Dobs spoko hi 800 miners at
Willow Tree, a short distance, from the chief
Monoagah mine. His remarks were reoelTod
with a show of enthusiasm. He called upon tho
men to organise and after the meeting they
held a secret conference In the schoolhouse near
br. There they effected tho temporary organ
isation of the first branch of the United Mine
Workers' Union of America Instituted In tho
Monongah district. The men refused to discuss
plans, but It is known that they will descend
upon the small mlnos In the Tailor to-morrow.
Tho operators seem to havo lost all hope of
Inducing thtlr men to remain at work, and
n some of them acknowledge that the Indications
tor a total suspension to-morrow aro too forcible
to admit of much doubt. To-night Dobs talked
to an audience of probably 1,000 at Falrmount,
He counselled orderly procedure on the part of
the strikers. He said they would succeed be
yond a doubt.
Monday's developments have been of a rather
disagreeable character to tho Marlon county
officials. The Monongah Company, tho leading
ono In the field, will undoubtedly make an at
tempt to operate their plant with new men.
Although the efforts mado this afternoon to so
caro a new force were fruitless, It is reportod
that the mines and offices of some of the con
cerns an being supplied with arms. In tho
Clarksburg field two or three hundred diggers
1 will strike to-morrow. For a week they have
awaited the action of tho men In tho big vein.
The situation in the southern part of tho State
fa wtthntit mivtjM-tkl rhnliMi The fnl tVtAt inma
of the men who voted on Saturday to strike re
i turned to work has disappointed the agitators.
Renewed efforts will be made to get them out,
and there Is some talk of asking Debs's assist
ance. About BOO men are Idle in the Kanawha
district, and that number will be Increased by
00 men of the Flat Top field, who ore to throw
down their tools to-morrow. Tho most conserva
tive estimates place the numbor of strikers in tho
Btate at a little less than 3,000. Tho deduction
is, then, that about 0,000 diggers aro still
working.
Tho Piedmont men seem as firm as ever in
their determination to remain at work. Until
the strike came their condition was almost be
yond belief and it la likely they will work In
spite of tho efforts of tho unionists to prevent
them.
I Tho present strike of tho miners of tho bltumi-
I nous districts is said to have had its origin
In a combine between the national officials
: of the Mine Workers' Union and certain
Pennsylvania and Ohio coal operators, the
object being to snatch West Virginia's coal
trade that she acquired during tho strlko
of 1691 from the hands of those who now
enjoy it. Whllo reports and statements of
this character may be exaggerated it is slgnl
cant that many of the West Virginia operators
, ate firm in their belief that this is true. West
I Virginia people say that Ohio and Pennsylvania
I : operators knew that a strike would be declared
two weeks before tho fact was divulged to the
miner. On the day before tho strike circular
Was Issued President Itatchford made a publlo
announcement that thore would be no strike.
. Pennsylvania and Ohio operators laid in a large
J supply of coal before the strike order came.
West Virginia operators say the inroads on
the market by West Virginia coal and the fact
that operators of other States were losing
tnoney caused the combination. It is even In
timated that operators are contributing to the
strike fund, the object being to cause a suspen
sion of work in West Virginia and thus termi
nate contracts given to West Virginia operators
In 1691. The Increase of freight rates on West
Virginia ooal la cited as another evidence of
the alleged combination with union wages in
West Virginia.
PmsBUito, July 10. One thousand striking
miners from various mines marched on tbe
Canonsburg mines this morning at 0 o'clock
and Induced the men employed there
not to go to work. The strikers were
cheered by the strains of a brass band,
and the non-strikers were persuaded to go out,
chiefly by the size of the army of strikers. There
was no disorder. The mine owners pleaded
with their employees not to strike, but the men
decided to go out. Tbe strikers' ofllclals say that
the miners weie not overawed by the strikers,
but were anxious to go.
Deputy sheriffs had been sent over from
Washington, the county seat. All the afternoon
sidnads of strikers were picketed about the
TriPf. in order to use further moral suasion on
I ' those of tho miners who might decide during
the day to go back to work. The operators as
sert that their men were frightened try the sud
den appearance of the strikers and struck un
willingly, but will return to work to-morrow.
The miners aro so enthusiastic over the tern-
Sorary success of tho Canonsburg march that a
escentonDe Armitt's miners will probably be
node soon. About 100 men went out at Canons
burg from four mines. "Uniformity Commission
er" John Little of Ohio telegraphed to-night that
owing to the absence from Philadelphia of tho
operators whose signature to the uniformity
agreement he and W. P. De Armltt worede-
I Strom of obtaining, he would not return to
Pittsburg until Wednesday. Commissioner
I Bishop of Ohio Is at Cleveland and will get
back here ou Wednesday.
Cameron Miller addrossed a big meeting of
i the Smock station miners this afternoon. A
I meeting will be held In Unlontown to-morrow.
This is In tho coke region, where there is no
Strike, but the men will be asked by the United
line Workers' ofllclals not to dig coal unless
I the coke oven owners promise not to ship coal
I Into this district to fill lako contracts.
I President Dolan left early this morning to
I attend the meeting of the National Kxecu-
, tlve Board at Columbus. A despatch from
' Columbus quotes him as saying that the
uniformity movoment Interested the oper
ators only; that the miners would let them
I fight It out alone. Hefore leaving for Colurubus
Dolan was reminded that President Itatchford
was opposed to the uniformity movement, and
' would probably try to induce him to look at tbe
manor in me same ugnu
I "It docs not matter what Itatchford thinks,"
said Dolan. "1 promised to support tho uni
formity movement, and I shall do so, although
Of course I shall not neglect the strike."
St. Ijouih. July 11). Four hundred Collins
tile. III., miners decided to-day to strlko. This
, i tnomlng the Ilrodley " army " of 1,000, divided
. Into squads, visited all tbe pits. As tbe men np-
'v! peared to go to work, thoy were urged to attend

I The column, reinforced by Colllnsrllle strikers,
I will move on O'Fallon to morrow. This Is tho
I home of Htute President Carson of the United
Mine Workers. The men thore are said to bo
ready to come out. If no trouble Is encountered
there, tho marchers Hill reach llellevllle to mor

Presldont Knight nnd Secretary Kennedy of

tho Standard OU Company has been making con
tracts with a number of former austomers for
Indiana coal In Chicago, by which they will use
oil burners at their furnaces and displace 1100
cars of coal a day. Oil at Its present low price
la more economical than burning mine-run ooal
ft B5 conts, which Is tho price those manufac
turers have been paying. Tho Indiana oil Is now
cheaper than ever, and tho oil company with its
pine lino is enabled to mako big contracts,
Tho 8tudebakors of .South llcnd began using

t Is oxpectnd that the strugglo to start opera

iHDiAturouB, July 19. The striking coal
miners nt Clinton are very much discouraged
ovor Hie situation to-day, owing to tho heavy
J?Rl trafllo over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
IJailroml for tho past thlrty-slx hours. Within
that time elghteon heavily loaded ooal trains
have passed over the line bound for Chicago,
each train averaging about thirty-five coal cars,
and making a total of over six hundred cars.
The miners at first supposed that the ooal was
mined at Oakland City, vinconnes. and Prince
ton, but a report gained currency to-day that it
was mined by convicts in Kontueky, and a very
bod feeling was soon manifest among the strik
ers, though no violonco was committed.
The strikers say it is useless for them to con
tend against the present system it the railroad
companies are allowed to transport ooal from a
neighboring State where convicts are worked in
the mines. Many of tho miners are already In
destitute circumstances and others have pro
visions for only a few days at the furthest, and
the authorities ore very apprehensive that vio
lence may result. A committee of miner went
to Oakland to-day to learn where the ooal Is
being mined.
OoLUUnca, 0., July 10. The National Ex
ecutive Board of United Mlno Workers had a
conference here to-day, to ororlook tho strike
situation and to outline the (uturo policy for tbe
continuation of tho strike. Presldont Farms of
Ohio reported a total suspension practically of
all tho Important mines In Ohio. President Car
son reported 33,000 of the 38,000 miners of Illi
nois idle. Presldont Knight of Indiana report
ed only a few miners In southern Indiana at
work, but they are not producing enough to
cause unoaslness. President Dolan of the Pitta
burg district reportod that tho mines in western
Pennsylvania are closed, with tho exception of
De Armitt's mines.
Tho Executive Board also decided to adopt the
reforondum poltcy In the settlement of the
strike. Tbe settlements of former strikes by
the national officers havo usually not pleased
the rank and fllo of tho miners. Any scheme of
settlemont will be referred back to the miners
for approval or disapproval. The National Hoard
will weigh every proposition for a settlement
carefully, and when one Is offered which. In their
opinion, is worthy of special consideration It
will be referred to the miners and they will act
upon It.

IticnuosD, Vo., July 10. Six hundred cars of
coal were shipped from Bluoflold, W. Vo., to

others tried to stir up dissatisfaction by speeches.
They addressed about 100 men. Sovereign at
tempted to speak at Eckman and at Pocahontas.
Tho lights were turned out and Sovereign was
forbidden by the Mayor lo speak. Ho stopped

Several agitators were run away from Poca

Batters national Board Has m Special BXeeUag
to Bevlse the Unlen Action.
A special convention of the National Board of
Directors of the United Hatters of North Amer
ica was held at 85 East Fourth street yesterday
to consider an appoal taken from a decision of
the union regarding a number of hatters In Don
bury, Conn. These men are employees of a Dan
bury firm which is willing to make its shop a
union one, but objocts to its employees being
disciplined for a technical violation of union
rules.
The articles of agreement prepared for the
firm to sign in Joining tbe union refer to the
employees of the llrrn who have come under tho
ban of the union as traitors and prescribes pen
alties which tho company is not willing to
Indorse.
The appeal was argued before the board yes
terday for several hours. The general feeling
was that the penalties wero too sovere. Secre
tary Phillips of the United Hatters said yester
day afternoon:
"It will take some time for us to adjust the
existing difficulties, as the case lsapecullarone.
We hope, however, to draw up articles which
will be satisfactory to all bands."

letter stating that, as Schoenfeld had been seized
with nervous prostration during the strike, he

A hair restoring firm has been trying to get
him to try a sample bottle of hair restorer, as

WisntJtcfTOK, July 10. One of the richest
men in the United States Senate is Senator
Turner of Spokane, Wash. He was elected
lost Fobruary by Popocratlo votes, succeed
ing Watson O. Squire, who had been one of
Washington's representatives in the Sonate
since tho Territory was admitted to Statehood.
It was only after a prolonged contest that Judge
Turner was elected, and when he took his seat
thore was no great amount of enthusiasm man
ifested by tho pooplo of Washington. But it
wasovldont that they were a bit hasty in esti
mating their Senator, as thousands of the very
pooplewho disliked him aro now his warmest
supporters.
Judgo Turner mado the hulk of his fortune in
tho mines of Washington and British Columbia.
His kecnoss of foresight and remarkable busi
ness sagacity told him that tho great hilly coun
try to tho north of Spokane would some day de
velop Into tjis richest mining country In the
world, and he was Quick to invest his surplus
cash in the gold mines of the Trail Creek dis
trict. Ten years ago the country in the vicinity
of Trail and Itossland was thought to be worth
less; to-day all agreo that It Is the richest coun
try the sun ever looked down upon. Slow-going
Britishers and Canadians wero skeptical about
investing tholr money in a country which did
not look promising, and as a consequenoe noth
ing was done toward mining the gold until
American capital and Ingenuity took hold.
The most valuable gold mine in America or
etsewhere is In Itossland, B. O. It was discov
ered quite by ohance, too, and the prospectors
who staked off tbe claim hadn't the remotest
Idea of the great value of their find. Old minors
admit that while the South African mines are
rich In the yellow metal the Lo Rot mine is per
haps the greatest discovery ever made. Tlmo
was, and not so very long ago, when stock in
this mine sold tor 10, 12 and 14 cents per share.
To-day it Is bard to buy a single share of stock,
and If any stockholder Is willing to, part with
his Interest he can command $7.50 a share for It.
Senator Turner was not so fortunato as a few
of tbe present stockholders of the mine, as he
paid Bl a share for his stock. Yet he seemed to
think this a fair price, as be bought In 53,000
shares. About three years ago Lo Ilol stock
was quoted at 35 cents. It has advanced rap
Idly and Is still ascending. The three principal
owners of tho mine are Senator Turner, Col.
"BUI" Peyton, and "Tine" Peyton. They own
the controlling Interest.
"I think wo have the greatest mine In tho
world," said Senator Turner to a Buw reporter
the other evening. "This Lo Bol property
couldn't be bought for (25,000,000. I have con
tended, and b till contend, that the Lo Hot Is the
richest mine ever staked off. You can talk
about the Barnato mines and the mines In other
portions of the world, but I sincerely believe the
British Columbia mines are the richest to be
found anywhere. True, It costs more to got our
ore on the market than in some other sections,
but we've got tbe finest quality when It Is
brought under tho aassrer's eyes. Itcosts from
S5 to $0 per ton to smelt our ore. We have a
contract with the Trail Smelting Company to
turn out 75,000 tons ot Le Rol ore. This con
tract was made about a year ago and has been
nearly filled. Some of our product Is shipped to
Tacoma, Everett, Helena, and Great Falls, but
the Trail Smelting Compaay does most of our
"The width of tho Le Rol vein is about 78
feet, and tbe deeper wo go tbo bettor tho oro
becomes. Tho shaft is down now about 000
feet, and there is no sign of the veins giving
out. In fact, I think there Is no end to the vein,
as the lead is perpendicular, and experience has
taught that perpendicular reins can be worked
for years and years without giving out. Tbe
average yield of the Le Ilol is S30 per ton, but
the ore taken from the centre of the vein will
run from 875 to 880 easily. This, as you know,
Is exceptionally rich ore. There Is a little sliver
and coppor In tho gold quarts taken from our
mine, but gold Is what we mine for.
" Speaking about copper and sliver induces me
to say that the Slocan country, which la a llttlo
to the northeast of Trail, Is quite a rich silver
belt. Tho silver found there Is like the gold
mined in Trail of the finest q uallty. With tbe
Srospect of anew lino of railway being run
own the Slocan district, there Is every reason
to believe that It will develop Into one ot tbe
richest of silver belts. Mr. D. O. Corbln has com
pleted his Spokane Falls and Northern Hallway
so It now touches Itossland. and It is only a few
miles by boat from Nelson, the heart of the
sliver belt, to Trail, but until the Canadian Pa
cific completes Its branch line, oro will have to
be shipped down to Trail in barges.
" Tbe Lo Hot mine Is located In Itossland, which
is Just up tho mountain from TralL Two years
ago It had a population ot 1,000; to-day a cen
sus shows between 7,000 and 8.000 people.
Everything Is booming In that country, while
English and American capital is being Invested
dally. Itossland Is a regular mining camp town,
although tho peoplo are not so tough as they
are In most mining towns. It Is but rarely that
one Is seen drunk on the streets, notwithstand
ing the fact that there are ten saloons to ono
mercantile bouse. Two peoplo, a Marshal and a
Justice of the Peaoo. run the town, and they get
along qulto as well as If tho to wn were patrolled
by a score of policemen. British Columbia laws
are stringent, and this, perhaps, accounts for
tbe good behavior of the ltosjlnnd people.
" An American town, which has reaped a ver
itable harvest by the gold discoveries In British
Columbia, Is Spokane. Two years ago. or even
one year ago, this town was almost like a de
serted village. ' For rent ' signs were pla
carded all around tbe town, and but few busi
ness houses were occupied. To-day Spokane Is
one of the few thriving towns In the Pociflo
Northwest. All supplies sent into Rossland and
Trail como from the States, and Spokane Is the
great trading post. Tbe Spokane Falls and
Northern Hallway, ono of the most enterprising
roads In the country, has a line from Spokane to
Itossland, and as the distance is something like
128 miles duo north of Spokane, the trip can be
mode easily In ono day. Hundreds of peoplo
from the States havo visited tbo Itossland camp
lately, with a view of Investing capital, and
from present Indications, Itossland will shortly
be the blggost and most prosperous town In tho
Western British possessions.
ZONQ ISLAND WIIEELMEtr BEET.
Several Important natters Acted Veen Lut
Ulhl.
Soveral Important matters wero discussed at
a meeting of the Associated Cycling Clubs of
Long Island, held at Bader's, on the Coney
Island cycle path, last night. Among them was
ono protesting ngalnst the proposed ordi
nance now before tbo Common Council,
which, if adopted, will compel wheel
men to dismount and watt for cars
to pass at certain street crossings, principally at
Bedford avenuo and Fulton stroet. It was
argued that tbe ordinance is Illegal, Inasmuch
as It is an Infringement upon the rights of
cyclists as deflnod by tbe Liberty bill, which
classes bicycles as vehicles.
The organization will also bring Its tnfluonce
to bear upon tbe property owners living
near thA new ffarwnv nvnnun hrldM
which, when finished, will connect Eigh
teenth avenuo with Coney Island. Tbo
Legislature bus appropriated $25,000 for the
building of this bridge, but no provision has
been mado for suitable approaches. Wheelmen
claim that unloss tbe property owners subscribe
(8,000 the Coney Island end of the bridge will
end In n marsh. Subscription hooks have been
oprn for nix weeks, but only $25 has so far been
subscribed.
At the last meeting a resolution was adopted
similar to that passed by tho Associated Cycling
Clubs of New York, asking Chairman Mott or
tho L. A. W. Itaclng Hoard to allow elubs to
pay the entranco fcos of their racing men
as that privilege was accorded to college
associations. Michael First, ono ot the dele
gates ot tbo Brnokljn B. C, could not see whoro
tho association wan to benefit by such action,
and upon his motion tho resolution was unani

TUB JtVItEB Of OOLF.
A Card frem Itlr. Macaenald or the Interpreta
tion Committee Other rtemarka.
To tub EDtTon o- This Boh Sir: With
reference to the editorial In TrtE Son of June
30, headed " Now Troublo In Golf," I beg to say
a few explanatory words toward "elucidating
tho mystery" of the Interpretation ot rules 14
and 15 by tho United Stales tiolf Association's
committee. To do so clearly and Intelligently
to a community which has no golfing traditions
one must do so In the light which animated the
early framers nf golf codes.
Golf wns originally played only on tho links
propor; viz.. low lying ground contiguous with
the sea, usually at the m"uth of a river. (Jamel
son.) The soil was sand, id tho grass very lino
and short, kept so by flocks of grazing sheep.
On thoso links golf courses wero laid out, and
tbo only hnsards to be dealt with wero sandy
hollows called bunkers, paths, roads, water,
whins, and bent. When in Buch hazards all tho
early codes agreo that tho Ho of tho ball shall In
no mannor be Improved. To enforco this dictum
tho code of the Honorable Company ot Edlnboro'
Golfers of 1830 readasfollows:
Rule nr. On the fatrgreeo, grass, or driving eoarss,
stones, bones, or any break-club, Ithla aclub length
ot the ball, may be removed. Nothing that la fixed or
growing can be removed at any time, either on the
driving course or putting green. Nothing whatever
can be removed when the ball lies In sand, on the
road, or la a bunker, or In whins. No loose Impedi
ment, suoh as turf, bent, whins, that Is not a break
club ean be removed on the driving oonrse, nor la any
obstruction to be beat down or levelled with the olub.
When the ball Is tn sand, nr In a hatard, the player
must take ears In aiming at the ball that he does not
alter or Improve Its position. It he does so bs loses
the hole.
The code adopted by the Royal and Ancient
Golf Club of St, Andrew's In 1812 read t
When a ball llos lnahunksr.or sand, thero shall bs
no Impression made or sand removed by the olub be
fore or tn playing.
These rules wore admirably adapted to golf as
played on links. Nnturally tbe committee
turned to these old golfing greens for Inspira
tion In interpreting the rules nnd permitted
custom which had become tradition there to
guldothem. Here It is found that a ball lying
on turf or sod. In a bunker, road, or pathway is
always treated as it It were lying on the fair
green.
The grass being long or short Is Immaterial;
the club may in any ovent be soled.
BInce the invasion of golf Into England tho
correctness of this usage has been questioned,
yet the traditional oustom still provalls on tho
links which nurtured tbo game.
I refer you to tho two latest authorities on
golf, Rutherford and Lockyer's " Rules of Oolf."
page 84. and Willie Park. Jr.'s. "Book on Golf,"
page 221. In both Instances it Is stated that
generally turf within a hazard Is not deemed
part of the hazard.
The St. Andrew's rules of golf as revised In
1B01 are simple enough applied to links proper.
but the widespread growth of golf hns altered
tbo meaning ot the word links. To-dny it desig
nates any grnnna inn game or goir is piayea
over. The result Is we ha vo now n great variety
of hazards never beforo dreamed of.
Golf courses to-day are laid out over clav,
gravel, loam, and pralrlo land soils: In valleys
between mountains and through forests.
Throughout these courses are rivers, ponds,
springs, trotting and running tracks, stones,
sldowalks, pavements, conservatories, stone
walls, trees, pigeon traps, &a, ad Infinitum.
The question Is asked to-day, why should a
flayer not solo his club on a Bldewalkorplgron
rani He cannot improve the He of his
ball. In doing so ho 'does not transgress tho
time-honored spirit of the game. The natural
reply to these queries appealed so strongly to
tbe committee that we seriously considered In
terpreting the rule permitting the soling of tbe
club everywhere save whore tho ball lay on
sand or loose earth. Some leading authorities
we consulted abroad approved of such an Inter
pretation, but Mr. Curtis and I finally deter
mined to abandon that Interpretation, as this
might be deemed what yon call "monkeying
with the rules." and this Is what vo most de
sired to avoid. We endeavored to alter nono of
the rules, simply attempted to Interpret them,
end, as Mr. Curtis hassnld. "on tho authority
of qualified experts or of customs which have
obtained In the best clubs of Scotland and Eng
land." In the preface we advise the framing of local
rules by golf clubs strictly defining hazards and
covering nil features peculiar to tho nature of
their green.
It is an easy matter to have these local rules
harmonlzo with the spirit of the same. Lacking
harmony with the existing cod n and Its tradi
tional Interpretation, tho violating rlub can
emancipate Itself out of tho realm of golf.
Charles B. Macdoxald.
CmoAOo, July 10.
Mr. Uaodonald's letter was shown to Jtr. Ftndlay
Douglas, a fresh graduate from the links as well as
from the University of St. Andrew's, and these were
bis comments:
To -n EDrron op Tn Sun Sir: So far
as I am aware, thoro is no rule at St. Andrew's
and I have played golf thero for the last seven
teen years which permits you to ground your
club on the road running parallel to tho 17
hole. There is certainly grass on tills road, and I
hare never seen or hoard of any ono grounding
tholr club on the said grass.
FTKDLAT DOUOLA8.
To tub EDrron of The Son Sir: Mr. Mac
donsld says golf originally was only played on
the links proper. Without going Into tbo ques
tion as to whether tho word links Is only appli
cable to the peculiar soil common to the sen
board of Scotland, It can be said that the Inland
course known as tho Royal Illackhcath Club
antedates the existence of even that time
honored Institution known as the Royal Ancient.
Mr. Flndlay Douglas, v, ho, ono might naturally
suppose from bis golfling abilities, was born in
a bunker and reared on a long spoon. In bis let
ter In answer to The Sun's query seems rnthcr
to shed a now light on Mr. Macdonald's state
ment that a ball found on turf In a road Is always
treated as on tbe fair groen. In a conversation
w 1th blm he also inform" m that pavomonts, pri
vate gardens, and oven Tom Morris's work
shop, on the St. Andrew's course, all of which
he has personally bad the pleasuro of playing
out of. are all treated as hazards over a cnurso
tbo rules of which In Scotland lako preccdeuco
of the Ton Commandments.
Mr. Mncdonnld sujs that nfter consulting
leading authorities abroad thoy had almost
determined to permit the soieing of the dub
anywhere when not lying on sand or looso
earth. Tills to a man like myself, who In
vestigates every haiard on tho roitrso ho
days over with a dlllgcnco worthy of a
tetter cause, appeals very strongly, nlthntigh
to the expert golfer It might create a feel
ing that the hazards, which aro presumably
iiluced at certnln dlstanres to punish poor plav
ng. might better bo callod " assists," Inasmuch
as they would assist the poorplnjer at tho ex
pense of tho good. Ilowovor, as Mr. Mncdonnld
gets his Inspiration from authorities abroad,
who probably nover s-iw nn American golf
course In tbelr lives, why. lie will, of course,
bow down to tholr superior practical knowlodgo
of what they have net rr seen.
Mr. Mncdonnld says that tho rode adopted by
the Royal and Ancient rends as follows: " When
a ball lies In a hunker nr sand. Ice,"
If that Is a correct quotation of the rule what
am tne icoyai anil Aneicnc in uy a imnnor or
sand I To me It looks as If they thought that
something besides sand might bo In the bunker,
possibly grass. How about It, Mr. Macdonald t
FAinriici.u.
Follon Stop the Itolrlirord-Murpby riant at
Albany.
Albany, July 10. Tommy White's Fort
Orange A. O. had Its opening bore to-night. A
fair-sized crowd was proscnt. Four good ten
round bouts were on tho card, Martin
Noarey of Albany, who hod received valu
able coaching from Tommy White, had
no dllllculty In knocking out Al Adumn of
New York in night rounds. Adams put up a
plucky fight, but could not withstand the
rushes of his strongor antagonist. In
the second bout, between Jimmy Clare of
Long Island and Billy O'Donnell of Mem
phis, the lattor won. On account nf
the. absence of l'atsy Broderick, Jack O'llrlrn
of New York was put In to meet Oscar Onrdnc-r.
tho " Oniaba Kid." This proved to bo a hot
bout. O'Brien looked an If bo would bo an oasy
mark for Onidncr, but ho showed up to great
advantage. It was doclarod a draw after eight
rounds. . ,
Billy Uotchford nnd "Austrnllnn" Billy
Murphy mixed things up In the final bout. The
fighting wns fast nnd furious, and In tbo third
round Iho pollcu Interfered, ltotchford had had
all tho better of it up tci this time and the end
or It saved Murphy. The referoo declared tho
affair a draw.

BRANDYWINE'S HANDICAP.

Wins and Is Taken br M, V. Ilwjrr for
1, loo The Jnmper Three Forks trained.
The rain and the horsemen who kept their
charges in tho stablo yesterday spoiled tho
Brighton Beach programmo, tho handicap at
ono mile and a sixteenth, which promised to bo
such a good rnco on caper, having but three
Blatters. Among tho withdrawals wero Flying
Dutchman, Bclmar, Sir Wnltor, Poop o' Day,
Doorslaycr, St, Loo, Tom Cromwell, Lobongula,
Lincoln 1U Nana H., and Roy dol Tlcrra. It Is
nut Keeping aim witii tuu pudiic to enter sucu
horses nnd thon declare them out ono after the
other. Nobody but tho owners of Braudywlno,
Skate, and Manassas apparently wanted the
f TOO which went to the winner of the race.
Burlesque, Sun Up, Discount, Savarin and
Rifle were withdrawn from the opening event
atone mllo and tho talont solected tho patched
up old cripple Cash Day to win, making him
favorite at 0 to 0. Tho sound throo-yoar-old
colt Azure won cleverly from Mohawk Prince,
with the rank outsider Emotional In third place.
Cash Day pulled up lanio. Azure Is one
ot tho ICenstco Btable'a string, and as
that organization claimed Tom Cromwell
from JI. F. Dwyer for (1,300 on Saturday a
crowd gathered to see the fun which was sure
to begin when Azure was offered for solo. Mr,
Dwyor was promptly on hand, and ran the
colt up from $500 to $1,100. At that figure the
son of Plovna passed Into tho possession of the
Brooklyn turfman. A selling race war is now
on, and, as one of the Jockey Club stowards re
marked, "It won't do anybody any harm, and
will make ownors run their horses for what they
are worth."
Fleeting Gold and Sister Corona were dual
favorites for tho soiling race for maiden two-year-old
fillies exclusively, Fleotlng Gold and
Our Breezy, tho last named played down from
30 to 1 to 4 to 1, wero away In front and had the
raco to themselves until woll into the stretch,
whero tho latter tired badly. O'Connor thon
stole up noxt tho rail with W. H.
Forbes's Zello, by Meddler, out of She
boygan, and was almost at Fleeting Gold's
head before Scherrer realized his dangor. Tho
finish was furious, with Fleeting Gold first by a
short head. Our Breezy was a fair third. Sloan
was to have ridden Jilted in this race, but on bis
way to the course ho collided with a fence and
UV M.O .M..U. ... W.4.J ww B.,uv UIUUUJ D AJ I.
and unseated him.
Halton wns the particularly good thing In tho
third event at six furlongs, for which there woro
but four starters. It was only a romp for tho
HImyar gelding, who led from start to finish,
and won pulling up. Bastion and Fircsido ran a
dead heat for second place, O'Connor and Cor
bley putting up a great whipping finish. A pro
test was entered against Lconnwell, this old
homo having, it is said, performed nt tbo out
law c-d tracks. Ho carries his tall In the samo
game fashion as of yore, but his racing days are
well nigh ovor.
Brandywlne was favorite to beat Skate and
Manassas, and he did it without much trouble,
although he tried to run out nt tho first turn.
Arthur Barrett, who had the mount, tapped tho
old rogue on the side of the bend n few times,
and. taking tho lead, wasn't headed again,
although Skato made a desperate effort at
tho upper turn. Sknte Is ono tbo many
bargains secured from tho Messrs. Keene. Ho is
a bty gelding by Minting out of Glide, and Is
therefore ons of the best bred horses In the
world. Ho Is probably tho longost horse In
training In this country to-day, nnd hns won a
number ot races in all sorts of company through
the West and Southwest.
Pat Dunne's Daclan, the odds-on fnvorlto for
the fifth event, won as he pleased, but there was
alight between Julius Cieur and Boy Orator
for second money, heads separating them at tho
wire. Tho second choice, Nosey, was Inst. For
tho burdlo race, which brought tho da's sport
to a close. Flushing was favorite at even money,
with Sir Vassar second choice at 8 to 5. It was
25 to 1 Detective, and the gelding, ha Ins been
schoolod only once, should not have beon start ta.
At tho very first Jump be swerved, and, landing
flush on one of Three Forks's bind legs,
almost severed the tendon. Allmark simply
galloped Three Forks over tho course, and It Is
thought that the gelding will never be ablo to
race again. He was considered by competent
Judges to he tbe best hurdle horse in the coun
try, and much sympathy wus expressed for his
owner, Ed Purser. Sir Vassar, who had de
layed tho start for somo time, raced along In
tbo wake of Flushing for a mile, and then Fin
negnn sent tho son or Sir I)Ion along about his
business, winning hands down. Flushing was
an easy second, nnd Detective third, bummary
