NIARY's BONNET.

MARI > lDN'NNlAAs
Mary has a bonnet gay,
The color of a rose;
Wherever Oh the links she ttlps
That pink suLbOnnct goes.
She wore 1t there but yesterday
She will not wear it more
1t fooled down upon her nose
And wrecked her choicest score.
The new car service at the Country
club certainly makes vast difference
to the regular golf players, who find
great advantage in the economy of
time. i'm transportation. While many
people are out of town, the lovers of
the game who remain spend hours
on the links during this ideal weather.
An interesting four-some match was
played this week between Mr.. John
Kemmerer and Miss Vaughn, of Wilkes
Barre, versus Miss Kemmerer of
MauCh Chunk and Mr.. Turner, of the
Wyoming Valley club. The contest
resulted in victory for the former
pair, with one up. Mr.. Kemmerer
broke his record this week in score
of 49, the best of all but two yet made.
on Thursday a party of Wikes-Bar-
reans played on the links. The visi-
tors were Messrs. Woodruff and Love-
land and Mr.. Hoyt, of the Pacific
coast son of Ex-Governor Hoyt.
This afternoon there will be driv-
ing contest from the fifth tee on the
upper course, going down. Prizes
will be offered for both ladies and
men. 1t will be very interesting and
will probably be witnessed by many
spectators.
Next Saturday a four ball contest
is scheduled. the two players using
two balls each. BY that time it is
probable that several new bunkers will
greet the eyes of the contestants, as
it is proposed to construct some on
the upper course between the fifth
and six holes and at the top of the
hill, also near the Lottery" below.
The autmnal events are already oc-
Cupying the attention of the green's
committee OF course, the great open
tournament the third week in October
is the chief, when beautiful prizes,
including valuable cups, a gold and a
silver medal and other articles will be
given. 1t is also expected that team
matches will be arranged between the
Scranton club and Wilkes Barre, Har-
risburg, Syracuse and Binghamton and
perhaps Morristown and Albany.
Every Saturday will Chonicle a cup
match during September and October.
Captain ]. II. Brooks, of the SCran-
ton Country Golf club, went to Mont
rose yesterday to give advice regard
ing the golf course of the club recently
formed in that vicinity.
A course of six holes was laid out.
The site is very pretty one, along
a small lake and a Commodious farm
house and stables are to be remodelled
for the club.

Mr.. and Mrs. James A. Linen enter
tanned about thirty young people at
their country home "Linair' last Sat
urday, when the attraction of the af-
ternoon wds putting" although played
under difficulties as the rains descend
ed most of the time. Rain, however,
is not supposed to discourage an en-
thusiastic golfer and there was lively
interest i'm the contest. Miss Eleanor
Anderson and Mr.. y. T.. Hunt, jr,
were the prize winners.
Mrs. William Connell entertained
4 I
nephew, Harmon Lampley, of Eufola.
Ala. on Thursday at Lake Henry. To-
day State Librarian Rev. Dr. George
Edward Reed and Miss Reed will ar
rive in the city to be the guests of
MI. and Mrs. Connell for few days.
He is a prominent resident of the
city and one of the early promoters
of the Elmhurst Boulevard. He was
also the first to insist upon the method
of pouring oil upon the troublous dust
of that magnificent thUroughfarc. The
oil was poured and, although there
have been fastidous ladies who have
shifted suspiCiously as they rolled along
i'm their luxurious carriages and "won-
dcred" aloud if James had been oiling
the harness with Kerosene or whether
an octopus known as the Standard
Oil company was concealed in the vi
cinity. However they did not con-
tract hay fever from the dust and
driving during the hot dry days be-
came delight instead of the usual
torment.
The gentleman before mentioned
came home last Saturday in the midst
of the pouring rain after twenty
five mile drive. He is now prepared
to give his views on the feasibility
o1 mixing oil and water even with
the medium of mud. lie drove very
fast and the mud flew; he wore a
handsome new suit of clothes, but has
not worn them since, for after the
removal of the mud they were a con-
tinuous succession of grease spots
and are probably at this moment the
despair of the cleaners. But oil does
lay the dust beautifully, if only the
rain doesn't try to interfere.
Mr.. and Mrs. James 4. Clark cele-
brated their golden wedding anniver-
sary Thursday at their pretty home ON
Wood street, which was lavishly
