Half Of them fell down. leaving sixteen.
Sixteen golfers golhng very late.
Lost Themselves In the fog, then there
were eight
Eight little golfers struggling on before;
Half lost their golf balls then there were
four.
-Four brave golfers feeling rather blue,
One pair foozled, then there were two.
Two frightened golfers their troubles
Just begun,
One beat the other, leaving only one.
One proud golfer thought it greatest fun
To carry home a silver cup, then there
was none.
The golf tournament has absorbed
the attention of society people this
week and has brought many distin-
guished visitors to the city. Every
match has been of great interest and
today the links win be thronged with
visitors to watch the finals Among
the surprises brought out by the con-
test Is the fact that some of the young
er golfers of the Country club are
likely to be heard of in the tournU
ments of the future. Particularly Is
this true of Messrs. w. ]. Torrey and
Law Watkins. The latter is but u
lad in years, but has made recori
in which he can certainly take much
pride.
MIR. A. u. Huntington is playing ine
golf but feels that he has not recently
had enough practice.

showing and if the tournament has
done nothing more it has brought out
the ability of our golfers to an en-
couraging degree.
