were included in the upper ten, the event was won by

start of 25. M. K. Guggenheimer, from Siwanoy, got 
second from 18 discs unpulled. The race for high net 
score afforded predominant interest, J. H. N'anderveer 
and W. S. Silkworth tying on 88 from (j handicap, 
which was scratch among the amateurs. After five 
shoot-off's they whirled a coin and the trophy went to 
\V. S. Silkworth, of Manhasset Bay Y. C. Third place 
brought out good gunning between R. B. Budd, of the 
home club, and A. F. Brombacher from the Crescent
