He had rounds of 83, 84 and 85, and then retired. The great dividing line between the crack amateur and the leading pro- fessionals at medal play is thus clearly defined by this brief analysis of the scores. Returning to our American players, Smith spoilt his chances by an 88 in the second round, but he qualified for the final rounds with a total of 169. Anderson and Mr. Lyon were not so fortunate. The open champion took 88, making his total for the two rounds 174, and Mr. Lyon had a 90. thus fin- ishing with 179. One hundred and seventy-two qualified this year. Last year it was 168.

TAYLOR, JAMES BRAID, ALEX. HERD and HARRY VARDON Cloth. $3.50, net (Postage 22c.) It'lustruled by 26S Action Photographs The author has been fortunate in securing Mr. Harold H. Hilton to write a few words on each of the amateurs, criticising their game as he sees it. As Mr. Hilton is the only amateur who has twice won the Open Cham- pionship, and has a most keen power of observation, besides vast experience of the game, his views are a great addition and help to the correct interpreta- tion of the Photographs. From these pictures he can see the stance at a glance, as each Golfer is standing on a square of four feet divided into six-inch squares ; and he need not be constantly wondering if he is on the right lines, and is standing as his model does, or following his methods.

You could relieve yourself of that mental strain of the possibility of your clubs not being correct models, and devote your time to form.
