Upon being asked what medium he considered the most important for the distribution of knowledge pertaining to the horse, Mr. Maclay said yester-1 straight during the afternoon. As far as straight scores were concerned, honors were equally divided between George J. Corbett, chairman of the shooting committee, and Conrad Stein.

The former scored a leg on the Monthly Cup, with a perfect score. He also took a special that finished the program. Conrad Stein annexed both the Travers Island and the Accumulation cups by breaking straight strings each time at the traps.

Larned's opinions follow: "In the first place, the present rule Is the result of a great deal of careful study, both here iti America and abroad; it Is well worded and will.

"I am also of the opinion that any man with an average knowledge of tennis and who knows the rule can enforce it In exactly the same mini-ner. but any one man taking both sides should he able: to enforce it in exactly the same manner for all players In any one match.

And yet the rule as it now stands allows the umpire no discretion in the matter.
