KENOSHA COUNTRY TEAM DEFEAT
THEIR RACINE RIVALS.
A SCORE OF EIGHTY HOLES UP.
Playing OF the TWO Teams However is
Exceedingly Close and Luck Assists
the Home Team-Ga1a Day in Society
Large Crowd from Racine.

The golf team Of the Kenosha Coun-
try club defeated the Racine golf team
on the Kenosha links Saturday after
noon, with a score of 80 holes up.
The occasion of the game was made
one of the greatest athletic festivals
ever held in Kenosha and fashion and
beauty turned out en- masse to do honor
to the event. The cosy little club
house was soon unable to hold the
crowd of pleasure seekers and the
pleasant lawn in front furnished a
vantage ground for watching the great
match. Society from Racine and Ke-
nosha mingled as never before and
many handsome turnouts, loaded with
beautifully gowned women made their
way to the club house to join in the
animated sports of the day.
1t was exactly o'clock when DR..
Ripley made the first drive and the
match was on. Although the Racine
players were defeated, be it said to
their honor, that it was only after a
very close contest. Luck seemed to
favor the home team and a comparison
of the scores will show that many of
the holes were won on very narrow
margins. The Kenosha golfers we're
exceedingly strong in their driving
and many record breaking ones were
made, while the Racine men seemed to
excel the Kenosha team on the putting
greens. The home team made almost
clean sweep, but Fuller. of Racine,
succeeded in defeating Simmons, Of
this city, in most exciting finish with
a score Of one hole up. The best med
al play score was made by Chester
Allen, who made the eighteen holes in
Ill. Harry Robinson carried off the
honors in match play by defeating his
opponent, Redmon, by score Of IA up.
Jebb, who played against Workman,
had one of the hardest contests of the
afternoon, and at the end of the first
round the odds were against him, but
he came away with strong game in
the second round and landed the match
with three up.
After the match was over the victors
and the vanquished alike gathered in
little groups in front of the club house,
where delightful luncheon was served
by the members of the Kenosha club.
After supper the visitors remained to
to enjoy an evening in the gorgeous
moonlight, and here and there on the
beautiful voranda and lawn many a
pleasant party spent happy evening.
Within the club house an informal
dance was given and piano and violin
music lured not a few of the golfers to
enjoy the delights of the waltz and
two step.
The day was the most successful one
ever passed on the club grounds and
was thoroughly enjoyed by the members
and their guests.

were Messrs. and Mesdames F. K. Bull,
Fl. S. Blake, Biebe, Harry Fuller,
