entries. Indeed, there has been a re-
markable revival of enthusiasm tae
past week and yesterday the links were
thronged with players. There is an
active indication that many of the
members who have not hitherto entered
contests are fast qualifying for the
cup matches. Among those who are
making great improvement in scores
are Messrs $. II. Kingsbury, L. f..
Platt, Claude Walker and others. Sec
retary Atherton. of the board of trade.
and f. NJ. Vandlng and Carl Welles
are among the players now frequently
seen on the course. The new bunk
ers at the eleventh hole and the near
ly completed sand pit at the fair greens
five and six are adding to the interest
of the game, as the schedule OF scores
are thus changed.
Next Saturday a foursome will be
played for the T. +. Jones cup and fol-

Miss Reynolds gave the first waffle
supper of the season last night at the
Country club.
A number of young people from the
Hill had an unlimited amount of
amusement Monday as the parade was
passing along jefferson avenue. They
were grouped at the corner of Mulberry
street, and suddenly We're discovered
hazing intently and with apparent
excitement up tree. The throng be-
came more dense and every person in
the vicinity was leaning backward in
the vain attempt to discover what was
in the tree. AS the interest increased
1t was evident that the curiosity Of
those in the parade was aroused. They,
too. craned their necks (the street
gamins used another termJ and trod on
each others heels and got sadly out of
line in the effort to see what was in
that tree. Then the entertainers va
ried the programme by forming Il ring
and widening it while with the ut
most gravity Of countenance they
looked toward the center until every
body in the vicinity came madly run
ming to see the prize fight or dog fight
or whatever the point of interest might
be and then the fun loving youngsters
went home and told how they had
fooled all the people all the willie.
One Of the exasperating incidents of
that day was caused by the churlish-
ness of the sexton of a prominent
church who kept several sections of
hose playing on the church lawn and
even on women and children lest by
any possible chance they should step
on the grass.
one of the pleasant events of the
week was the dinner given Monday
