The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-10-17

Not a. little interest was taken this
week by Scrantonians In the kirmess
at Carbondale, which Is under the .i-
rection of Miss Stewart, the young
woman whose work last spring in this
city carried the Kirmess at the Froth-
ingham to such a successful conclu-
sion. Among those who went TO Car
bCndale from this city were the fol-
Lowing, who saw the Kirmess dances
Thursday night: Mrs. II. NJ. Boies. Mr..
and Mrs. f. 3. Jermyn, Miss Belin,
Miss Augusta Archibald, Miss Dale,
Miss Romaine Seybolt, +. +. Chase,
A. G. Hunt. Il. S. Fuller. Il. g. Brooks
and H. G. Merrill. 1t was the unani-
nous opinion of all the Scrantonions
who saw the Carbondale Kirmess that
1t was very artistic and successful
entertainment.
Although the Country club Is still In
AZ unfinished state it has already be-
come most popular rendezvou for
Scranton's society people, and every
afternoon a large number of we'll
known person can be found on the
grounds about the house amusing
themselves on the golf links or in
other forms Of outdoor sport. The rain
of the week interfered seriously with
the practice games Of the Scranton
golfers, who will meet their Wilkes
Barre brethren on the links at the
Wyoming Country club house next Sat-
urday afternoon. A very interesting
contest is expected, and a large num-
ber of Scrantonians will go down to
witness 1t. On the following Satur-
day a return contest between the
Scranton and Wilkes-Barre players will
take place on the links in this city.
Work Is progressing very rapidly on
the Country club, and it is expected
that it will be completed within a few
weeks. Plasterers are now at work
on the interor and the finishing touches
are being placed on the exterior by
carpenters. No plans have up to this
time been made for formal opening
of the house after its completion.
There will be a reception at the
Country club house in Wilkes-B Barre
this afternoon between the hours of 3
