always spends the summer. promptly set about the
work of getting the links In order. The goli
course-its starting point. rather-is only short
distance from the Windsor and the Mansion House
The ground ia here level. there hilly and on the
whole presents many Of the difficulties without
which golf would be golf. There are seven
links the total distance around being mile and
half. 1t is proposed soon TO add two links
With the completion OF the links came the organi-

Enzabethtown Is sheltering a host OF summer
guests The big Windsor is full. and every time
the tally-ho from Westport tetches up at the door

Itself for solution TO Mr.. Kellogg's ingenuity. The
guests OF the hotel have fine stable TO draw upon
for recreation when they prefer driving about the
country 10 walking around the golf links: and not
few parties also made up to climb some Of
the nearby mountains. Every evening there Is
informal dancing. with big hop once every week
