If th present eras for golf continues this sveekty review ot th doing of th -'embers of the gay world will hare to be leaded "Th Week In th Golf." rather than "The Wek In th 81dty World, for it seems, aa If every man, woman, and child possessed of any leisure or opportu- nlty la devoting themselves of late to playing the imported 8ootch game, day in and day out, on every available golf cours in the country. A list of th tournaments played during th week past on the links within fifty mile of New York would of Itself nil nearly a column, and th-pro- gramme for the next month Is filled with tournaments, and still tournaments, of all sorts and descriptions.

All th talk of the dubs and of society centre In the golf geld, and the very few men or women who hav not yet at least essayed the game, or who mildly deprecate th erase, hav been sent to Coventry. In a word, th society world of New York, aa well as that of the ether large American cities, ha apparently gone goli crasy, and only th snows and biting winds of Winter can bring to its normal senses again. Ths glorious Autumn weather which has continued to bless th sand, baa, ot course, contributed Us ahar toward this golfing ctaxe, and It must confessed that a day spent at present on th links at Ardaley, Baltusrol. Meadow Brook, Bt, Andrew, or elsewhere. In th mellow sunlight with the gorgeous coloring of th woodlands and th surro undies: happy Autumn fields," Is Indeed a delight.

Ther hav been pictures for both, the landnoap and ngur artist on all these October morns and afternoons on all these links, and Kaemmerer or Jules Stewart would hav found subjects of Lata at them all for notabl canvases. Of the tournaments ot the week, the most excit- big and closely contested wr thos ot the Oakland Club, at Baysld, and Of th Queens County Oolf Club, at Glen Cove. The play in both the tournaments was exceptionally good. Th week was, how- ever, more a lady's than a man's week, for the Autumn ladies' tournament at Baltuarol on Thursday, and a special tournament at th Westchester Country Club on Friday, attracted hundreds of spectators, and evidenced of th fact that many women golfers hav developed into retnarka- bly good players and that a few. at least.

if they continue to lmsrov In their came. will soon be able to compete with all but tn champion player among their Drotners. No less than fortv-lx women finished the open handicap tournament at Baltusrol on Thursday morning, out of fifty starters, an unusual neroentajre. Four players who made the lowest score competed at hoi ptay for the chief troohy of the contest, the epen tournament cup. Mis Bessie Pitcher of Baltusrol won th big handicap by a margin of one hole, with an allowed hand! cap ot forty strokes.

Miss Bertha Andrews of the Monbclalr Oolf Club finished second. Th final match lay between Miss Bhelton of Morristown and Miss Bertha Andrews of Montdalr. who bad In turn defeated Mrs. 8hlppen and Mis Alice Xay. Miss Bhelton was the winner by one hole.

The foursome sotting match was won by Miss Bessie Enoa Baltusrol and Miss Knowtton of Bar Harbor. Among th players In th big "handicap were Miss Isabel Bonet ot Btaten island, Mws Mabel Shaw of Btaten Island. Mrs. M. P.

Rogers, and Miss Ann Enoa of Baltusrol. Mrs. R. Do Keren of the On- wvutata Club. Mrs.

Oliver Adams of Larch moot, and Mrs. Arthur Turnur ot Bhlnne- CCJE. But keen as was Interest In the play ing and th player at the Baltusrol tour- jiament, the social side of the day had also Its charm, and the beautiful afternoon, with it yellow lights on gorgeous hued wood' land and the far-stretching rinks, dotted here and ther with th red-coated players, with th more material delight of good music by th Hungarian Orchestra, and afternoon tea and refreshments, were thoroughly enjoyed by the hundreds ot invited ruests. some of whom went out from and (turned to New York by train, but the foajorlty of whom drove In all kinds of craps. Including three or four brakes and coaches, or wheeled from all the near-by suburb.

The last match between Miss Bhelton and Miss Andrews was not finished until dark, and the players were followed from start to finish by an Interested and excited crowd of spectators. The sporting as weu a social success or tnis Autumn ladles day at Baltusrol nieces that little club unquestionably In the front rank of golfing organizations. Some of the people who journeyed to Baltusrol repaired to the una oc me westcnester uountry iud on rnaay to see several ladles, all good players, compete for a cud offered by Mrs. M. Dwtgtat Collier.

The day was so warm as to remind one of June, and only the gsyly tinted Autumn woods were the sure enaeao of Autumn. In spit ot their love for golf, the mem- ear ot th Meadow Brook Hunt Club have net abandoned th sport of bunting, and bay bad several fin runs of late. That nt Wednesday afternoon was perhaps the HeUest of the season. The run was about lght miles, over the Wheatley Hills, and among we riders were two ladles. Mrs.

E. T. Cashing, formerly Miss Mabel Roby. and Mr. James T.

Kernochan. Mrs. Cushing was tnrown wneo within about two miles of the finish by her horse tripping on a fenoe, but was fortunately not injured, and managed to remount, so that she was sixth at the finish. The Westchester County Hounds have also had several rattling good runs of late, and hunting will now be the great sport at Hempstead and Westchester until the heavy frosts. AH the suburbs are now filled with their ULutnmn visitor, and all.

with the fine weather which th season has thus far brought, are enjoying almost unprecedented yety. Th Saturday night dances at Ardsley are well attended, and have been successful in overy way. and there have been numerous Informal luncheons and dinners at Tuxedo, Hempstead, on Btaten Isl-. end. and In Westchester County.

The eras for outdoor sports, which, when pursued all day, make their devotees too weary st night to care for much else than dinner n4 bed, do not, however, tend to make evening; entertainments, and particularly Mlct, over-popular at this season. The vsudevtll entertainment which was to have en place at Tuxedo on Friday evening had to be abandoned, owing to the neces-ry departure of one of Its chief projectors. Thr was some Informal dancing, nd. strange to say. In the multitude of outdoor enjoyments the giving up of this entertainment did not seem to produce -one-half the amount of disappointment that Wight have been expected.

The annual Autumn dance will take place at Tuxedo on Oct. 29. ienox continues to be mildly gay, and th fin weather has enabled th majority the Newport cottagers to linger there, so that there has been much so Ins: on of an Informal nature at the fashionable resort, Zn. at this remarkably late day.

THE WEEK JXT THE CLUB WOBXD. The most Important Incident of the week past In th club world was th decision ar rived at tn Cincinnati on Tuesday by th two committees of those large organisa tions, the Societies of the Sons of the American Revolution and of the Sons of the Revolution to combine the two societies Into one, to be known as the Society of th American Revolution. The fact that these committees, which were composed of five members of each organisation, were able to agree arter long deliberation upon what seems to be a very sensible basis of union.

nas occasioned agreeable surprise, and it Is now thouzht that the wav is clear for ratification of the Joint committee's lo tion by the members of the various State adapters of both organizations. A feature of the plan of consolidation Is the limiting of membership In the new joint society to lineal descendants of officers and others who took a prominent part In the. War of the Revolution. This proposed plan. it Is to be presumed.

Is not Intended to be retroactive, and will only apply to future applicants for admission to the new society. There are many members of one of the present societies at least who hold their membership by and through virtue of col lateral descent from some ancestor prominent In the Revolution, and It would hardly now be fair to deprive these gentlemen of their membership. The welding together of tne two societies will make a large and strong organization, and one which will rank next to the Society of the Cincinnati in public estimation. The regular monthly meeting of the Union League Club was held at the clubhouse on Thursday evening. The meeting was a com paratively quiet one, and, contrary to expec tations, no vigorous attempt was made to Induce, th club to indorse the candidacy for Mayor of Gen.

Tracy, who Is not only Vice President of the club, but has lived at the clubhouse for some time. As ther Is a strong sentiment in the Union League in favor of Mr. Low for Mayor, it was not thought advisable even by Oen. Tracy's friends, to commit the club to any policy regarurog tne municipal campaign. Th Aztec Club ot 1847 celebrated Us semi-centennial anniversary by a dinner at Sherry's on Wednesday evening last.

Although this club has a membership of only 230. composed of eleven original members still living, fifty veterans subsequently elected and 169 hereditary members. It Is one of the most nrominent and successful of the many military, historical, and revolutionary organizations In existence. The ciuu waa first formed by the officers of the United States Army of Occupation In the City of Mexico, and after the evacuation of the city by the United States troops It was decided to make it a permanent society and to admit to membership naval officers who had served In the siege of Vera- Crux and witn tne land batteries during the Mex ican ttw. The club held meetings for twenty-three years until the outbreak of the civil war, when, as the members of the club were divided In sentiment and several became leaders In the opposing armies, these meetings had necessarily to be abandoned.

They were resumed in 1867, and since then have been held every year. Among those present at the meeting and following banf quet of Wednesday night were Admiral Gberardt, Oen. Buckner. the President of the society: col. De Lancey Floyd-Jones, ana uens.

Gen.

The Treasurer reported the society to be In a flourishing financial con dition. A special meeting of the Atlantic Yacht Club will be held at the Waldorf Hotel on Tuesday evening next, when the report of the Board of Trustees on the new club house to be erected at Sea Gate will be read and the accepted plans for this house will be submitted to the club for inspection. At this meeting the prises won during 18U7 will be awarded to the victors, a committee will be elected to nominate officers for and the report of the Regatta Committee will be read. Anthony Hope, the novelist, will be the guest of honor at the first special dinner of the Lotos Club for the coming season. which will be held on Oct.

23. Mr. Hon Is expected to arrive In New York this week. The Lotos has made a specialty during the Dast two or three years of giving dinners to men prominent In various walks of life, and to be dined by the Lotos has come to be -considered by foreigners asone of the greatest compliments imaginable. No effort will be spared by the officers and members of the Dinner Committee of the Lotos to make these banquets this year even more successful, if poMible, than those of the past.

Clubmen have studied with touch interest the plans for subscription entertainments to be given In the ballroom of the new As toria Hotel during the coming Winter. Thk programme of the Society of Musical Arts, which has Just been sent out. Is felt to be sufficiently varied and Interesting to prom ise a series of very delightful evenings. It is felt that entertainments given in the large and handsome ballroom and tn a de lightful social atmosphere will make this new society a very successful institution, The being able to dine comfortably and leisurely and stroll Into the ballroom as late as 9 P. M.

to continue or finish one's cigar, with refreshments obtainable if desired, to be entertained by good music and vaudeville, appeals very strongly to the average clubman. It Is well-nigh certain that the larger New York clubs will be well represented at tne Musical -Arts entertain, roents. The projectors of this society are all members of the University, Calumet, Union, and Knickerbocker Clubs, and their personal acquaintance will alone insure a good subscription list. Mr. J.
