In the absence of Mr. Maxwell,
Scottish players pinned their faith
to Mr. John E. Laidlay, who, in
spite of increasing years, shows
no diminution in form, and who,
in the match between the Royal
Liverpool and the Tantallon
Clubs, had played a magnificent
game in the second round against
Mr. Hilton. As it happened, the
two men met in the third round
of the Amateur Championship,
when the latter won somewhat
easily. The hopes of Scotland
dwindled steadily, until, in the
semi-final, she found herself with
Mr. John. L. Low as her only
representative. It was, of course,
something to have Mr. Low, for
in the minds of all golfers this
young gentleman is associated
with the late Mr. F. G. Tait,
whose most intimate friend he
was and whose life he wrote for
the benefit of the golfing com-
munity, and the name of Tait
recalls victory time after time
against the redoubtable Mr.
Hilton. By beating Mr. John
Graham, junior, of the Koyal
Liverpool Club, Mr. Low found
himself confronted with Mr.
Hilton in the final round. There
were two rounds to play, and at
the end of the first the latter stood
three up, his score being 80.

After a weak start, Mr. Low came
away with a strong game and
succeeded in getting level at the
sixteenth hole. He drove well avray
from the station-master's garden,
but with his approach shot be
overran the green and found his
ball on the King's highway in an al-
most impossible position, the'result
being that he lost the hole, and
as a half at the home hole was all
he could do, he lost the cham- Duricef Antibiotic
pionship by a single hole. The
sympathies of the large crowd
following the match were natu-

a whole, Mr. Hilton played the
better game and was entitled to
his success. The latter enjoys
the distinction of having won both
Open and Amateur Champion-
ships twice, a distinction not even
enjoyed by Mr. John Ball, junior,
who has only one success in the
Open Championship to his credit.
The entry at St. Andrews this

The Bogey Competition, which
qualifies for admission to tse
Sixteen in the Parliaroeotsy

last year at Sandwich, with god

Bogey score at Deal is 80, though
the round is quite as long, a^
almost as difficult, in the matter
of hazards as Sandwich. It was
not, therefore, to be expected tha

score being 78 for the round. Mr.
