House.

1t was red-letter day at the Jersey City
Golf Club Saturday. Two events took
place. the opening reception or tea at the
new clubhouse in Gautier avenue and the
closing tournament of the season at the
links. The clubhouse is not owned by the
golfers, but is one of a row rented and
fitted up for the use of the club. It7is.

served was very prettily arranged with
ferns and roses. while American flags,

distributed all over the lower floor Of the
house. Tea, sandwiches, ices and fancy
cakes were served by Misses Post Trap

the color of the club, and they did excel

golfers as they came in with only time
for a sandwich and d cup of tea, to serv-
ing the guests with ices and taking care
that none was omitted. Not that the
golfers boyeotted the ices and cakes.
