Clafiin Won the Essex Cup, by Good 
Golf. 
Thomas M. Claflin and Thomas G. 
Stevenson, leaders in Massachu- 
setts amateur golf, had a fine match 
in the final of the tournament for 
the Essex cup at the Essex County 
club last Saturday afternoon, the 
former winning by 1 up and getting 
his name on the historic trophy for 
the first time. 
In order to meet in the final, T. M. 
Claflin had to beat A. L. Squier and 
T. G. Stevenson had to defeat L. S. 
Bigelow in the morning matches, 
and a gallery followed the final 
match nearly all the way. 
T. M. Claflin defeated Rev. A. L. 
Squier in the morning by his best

game that is hard to beat. Claflin 
halved the first five holes, but won 
the sixth in 3, the eighth in 5 and 
the ninth in 3 to 4. Claflin played 
in 39 to the turn to 44 for his oppo- 
nent. He hung on to his lead and, 
in spite of the determination and 
steadiness of his opponent, won by 3 
and 2. 
Meanwhile T. G. Stevenson was 
having it out with L. S. Bigelow, 
both of them very well acquainted 
with the course of the Country elub 
at Brookline and also with the links 
of the Essex County elub. H. G. 
Stevenson went out in 48 to L. 8S. 
Bigelow’s 45 and stood 3 up. He 
won two more holes long before the 
second half of the course had been 
played and took the match by 5 and 
4,
