HERO OF TRE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Mr. Storey is undoubtedly, the hero of the championship. He slew all sorts of tigers on his way to the final, among others Mr. John Cowen, the West Coast expert, and Mr. Wathered, both in one day. If one could have probed the hearts of the 10.000 men, women, and children "who came from far and near to see two Englishmen 6ghting out their battles on Scottish sil, the name Storey would have bern found there in large letters." Here was a plucky, courageous little fellow; un known in these far-away parts, who had fought his way through a veritable army of golfing giants, and was now

now engaged in a stern hand-to-hand combat with the last of the tribe. These excited sils felt that it was an unequal battle, that the dice, were loaded in favour of the master golfer with a vast experience behind him. So their prayers went out for the under dog. Even if he did not win, Mr. Stores covered himself with the first attempt the Bas. To reach at

of a champion ship open to the world, and to take golfer of the calibre of Mr. Holderness to the 34th green is a wonderful achieve ment for so young player. It did not surprise me so much as it did other people. I have watched with interest his Career since he first played for Cam- bridge. When I strongly advocated, his claims to inclusion in the English side and also in the British international Valker Cup team I was sneered nt for my pains. Mr. Storey is now a thember of both teams, an honour which he pro- perly deserves.
