The Belt asst Golf Club.

In the early spring few person interest
ed in the game OF golf rented the Walton
pasture land for the season and laid out a
course Mr.. Fred Poor was elected treas
urer of the association. Eight holes were
made and the grass cut by the swamp and
some of the trees cleared away. The links
is naturally a rough one, and but little money
has been expended on it, but the situation is
excellent and the foundation a good one,
while stone walls, bitches and a marsh
form excellent hazards The membership
now numbers twenty three persons and it is
hoped that next season there may be more
and that the links may be gteatly improved.
The first four holes are in fairly good con-
dition for so rough a course, and are often
twice play ed instead of using the four others
where the grass is much longer.
On September Dist there was an informal
tournament, the contestants being Messrs
Rex Hazeltine, Fred Poor, Bert Field, Rev.
George S. Mills, Miss Smell. Miss Taliaferro,
Miss Hazeltine and Miss Under. The la
dies singles were in the morning, mems
singles in the afternoon The winners were
Mr.. Rex Hazeltine, who did nine holes in
65 strokes, and Miss Taliaferro, who did
three in 81 strokes. On Saturday afternoon
the two winners and the two second best
PLAYERS played mixed foursome, Miss Tall
aferro and Mr.. Fred Poor versus Miss Smell
and Mr. Rex Hazeltine. The game was
very close one, the latter beating the former
by two strokes only, rs to Is.
The smooth course was used by the ladies'
the entire course by the men, and stroke
pay instead of hole play was employed.
The prize for the mems singles was tiny
silver cup for the ladies' singles, and the
foursome, golf balls.
