Club is a very fine one. There are nine
links, that are over a course of two and a
half miles. One hundred and fifty acres OF
land are devoted to the links, and they are
as ideal as money and natural scenery could
make them.
At Lenox there is a professional golf in
structor, Just as there is a professional
bicycle trainer at Newport. The Newport
cycle man is darky, very black, very illit-
crate, very respectful and very strong. The
instructor at Lenox is a certain Mr. Honey
man, related to the 400" by cousinship,
and sportsman" as we are all using the
term now-one who would rather eat a
vorite sport than have all that the world
offers with it-like Dunraven.
Mr.. Honeyman has laid out the golf links
well. They start upon plateau, high,
level sweep, rise swiftly, falls suddenly
and then run along in a series of very
pretty leaps. Several very difficult places
have been constructed by Mr.. Honeyman.
One, for example, is called Devils lane.
1t lies betw cen two fences, and the player
must strike the ball across both at once or
despair of making any creditable score be-
cause 1t is SO hard to rescue the ball after
it has fallen between the fences.
Heart Breaker is another hard place to
cross, and this is made all the worse by be-
ing surrounded by some of the prettiest
scenes of the country. The player stops to
admire low-lying lane, hundred feet be-
low, a hill rising into the blue of the clouds
beyond, the little shimmering sheet of water
to the right, aDd-he is lost. Heart Breaker
brought about his uDdoing. Never pause
tolook at thesceDery," is istherepeated advice
Of Mr.. HoDeyman.
The nine holes all have their own names,
the last being Home" and finishing Just
where the player started.
1t is to be expected that men will make
a better score than women on account of
the greater length of arm, and swiftness
of stroke. Yet the scores compare very
favorably. At present young Mr.. Armory,
OF Boston, holds the highest, or lowest,
score for getting round thelinks.
THE ENGLISH WAY.
He has done 1t in 4S strokes, his caddy
running after him swiftly to keep pace,
and hardly ever handing his master a new
stick. Mr. A rnnory plays almost with one
implement after the drive is made. A very
good score is made by Miss Stokes, who is
q pretty girl player. She has gone around
the links III so strokes, but is unable to do
1t again. II she equals her former record
she may get the loving cup. But there are
others close by. One of the Misses Sloane
has a very clever way of putting
placing the ball in the hole by rolling as in
croquet and the painstaking move may
bring her the silver bauble SO much COW
eted.
The young women who have trained in
England have a very different stroke from
the others. The Misses Morton, daughters
of Levi p, learned English golf as II 10
played on the Sandringham grounds. Their
method is the long, swift, powerful drive,
with almost no aim beyond that of going In
the right direction. Two of these powerful
drives bring the ball near ttd -.s.r. or put

rying it out will be 10 make all the blows
from the wheel Caddies viii carry them
to different stations in the links, and when
there is a fence to be climbed the wheel
will be left behind and another one taken
on the other side of the fence.
There is one young woman whom the
members of the club are keeping secret.
She practices alone, and is never seen at
the 'goif afternoons when the roung la
dies try their hands with the sticks and the
matrons stand by 10 criticise and applaud
She is decidedly New England in her way
of playing, although her home is some
where not far from the Rockies. In fact,
she is new Western heiress Her father
owns property, land and mines where
such possessions mean millions, and she
is to be introduced 10 society in New York
this winter.
As every one knows, It Is of no use bring
ing forward a debutante unless she has
some previous acquaintance with peo-
pie, and so she is gently pushed ahead at
Lenox. 1t is poor way to forward her by
arousing the jealousy of others against her.
But the people who are to introduce her
think she will make more OF sensation If
she bursts into view, instead Of merely
dawning. Her method is to consult her
caddy on every point, try stick after stick,
swinging it with critical air before strik-
ing, and finally bringing down one ringing
blow that speeds the ball unerringly on its
way.
Dinners always follow golf games, as
dancing follows autumn dinners. The golf
week win be merry with the clatter of
silver and glass, and music will soothe
wounds afterwards.
The golf tournament has aroused inter
est both sides the water, as not a few
golfing Englishmen have come over for it,
and pleasure-indulgent Americans have re-
turned for what they think will be the most
delightful mid-season entertainment ever
planned. HARRY GERMAINE.

ting" place. sDexterity ofstroke is then en-
ployed, the aim being always past the hole
in case the ball does not go in. 1t never falls
short.
The Sandringham instructor reasons witt
his pupils. The bah is smaller than the
hole. Drive ii across the hole, and II will
fall in il nine times out of ten"
The American instructor advises differ
emily; Take three short strokes to get neal
the hole; three more to get very near to it,
then one to land in it," is the method. "In
this way you never waste stroke nor run
the risk of going so far beyond the putting
place that you get demoralized striking
backward. Let your motto in golf be slow
progress"
The young women have ali ordered new
golf gowns for the event. They are prac-
tising in very smart ones, but the dresses
for the match itself are TO be very fine.
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, whose father
is member of the Golf County Club, and
who is consequently eligible for the cup
contest, invariably plays in W hite corded
duck. 1t is as heavy as tapestry The style
is plain and pretty and the dress is short
and met by CATERS.
Miss Virginia Fair, the Western heiress
who outrode Mrs. Henry Clews on the
bicycle, is anxious TO secure the cup. She
practises daily at the links She dresses
in white, with black golfing cape. Her
method is very masculine, though very
feminine style of girl. She drives her
ball furiously, chases it, drives it again,
runs after ii and makes the links in the
same time as the crack amateurs. She has
one fault, according to those who are
anxious TO see her championess in two
fields of athletics, and that is her inability
TO loft" the ball. She can strike on
level but when it comes to hitting it with
the little hammerhead= that is warranted
to send it up in the air, she is not a success.
The LenoN grounds abound in these deep
places that require "lofting."
GAME ON BICYCLES.
There is little talk of playing one game
upon bicycles. After the Young wonan's
Loving Cup comes the mems tournament,
then the professionals. This is followed
by match among the caddies, and after
wards there may be, as a matter of fun,
match upon cycles. The only way of car

Miller was badly under the influence

had been robbed of everything he had
and he was crying like a child.
There are two stories told about IL.
One of them is that Miller was held up

from the improvised joint and robbed
of $50. Another is that he was the vic

GONE BY THE BOARD
CITY COUNCIL RBPEALS ALL THE
LIQUOR ORDINANCES.
Arrest Must Now BE Made Under the State
Law-Wichita Does not Want to Pay the
Costs of PrOsecutiOns-Mayor Cox Ex-
plains that Wichita is Going Out of the
Liquor Business-Teiephone Company
Ordered to Stand Up-Nusu Pay Lii
cense or Pay a Heavy Fine-An for
Economy.

An ordinance was passed by the city
council last night repeating all the city
ordinance under which arrest were
made for violating the prohibitory
liquor law.
TT. Minich- asked what that ordin-
ance meant after it had been read by
the city clerk.
1T means" said Mayor Cox, that
Wichita is going out OF the liquor busi-
ness"
The councilmen were all present ex-
cept Sawyer, and the eleven council
men present all voted for the repeal.
There was a profound silence when
the vote was announced, and the spec
tators looked at one another in blank
establishment and wondered what il all
meant.
\ reporter for the Eagle asked City
Attorney George Adams what il meant,
and that official said: we have been
closing the joints under city ordinances
and the city has 10 pay the costs Of
prosecution. The city has simply turn
ed the matter over 10 the state, and
now arrests will have to be made under
the state law. 1t simply means that
the city does not want TO pay any
more costs in such prosecutions.
II was explained that arrests could
be made under the state law by the
metropolitan police, and the county at
tOrney could appear and prosecute.
This means, of course, that all cases
will be finally tried in the district court
and that the county Will have TO foot
the bill.

night. and when the council had pass

ances providing fines for the selling of

a suicide had been committed in the
