The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-05-20

This, II is hoped, will be the greatest
day in the history of the Country club.
To say that it will be busy one is
TO express but mildly the condition of
affairs at the beautiful sylvan retreat.
In the first place, it is the occasion
of the annual meeting, which is in
itself enough to draw thither a goodly
company Of club members. Then, 1t
is also the occasion of the postponed
tournament for the T. II. Watkins
cup, which owing to the descent of a
miniature flood last Saturday, was not
played. During the afternoon the reg
ular scheduled match, the "Guessers'
contest, will also be taken up. Bauer's
band will be present to inspire the
golfers and the lovely course will pre-
sent the appearance of one grand lawn
feteA From 4.30 on, the house COM
mittee will serve light refreshments.
Mrs. Il. l.. Fuller, Mrs. A. II. Storrs,
Miss Belin. Miss Dale, Miss Archibald
and others will have the matter in
,harge.
The course is in splendid condition,
far better than was anticipated. 1t
: like one fair velvety lawn, rolling
"A every direction and now exquisite
\beyond description in its tender green,
with the rich deep shadows beneath
NE trees add to the Corot-like effect
sver the hillside.
The "Guessers' contest. which has
,een arranged by Captain Brooks, is
\ unique in some respects. Instead, as
had been been suggested, of having
kach contestant guess at his own score,
has been decided that one person
be selected upon whom the guesses
1~Will be based, each golfers guess will
be recorded and the one making the
nearest to the score will receive the
prize, a first class golf club.
The cup offered by Mr. r. II. Wat
kins as a tournament prize is a hand
some specimen of the silversmith's art
and will be a valued treasure to the
lucky winner.
1t is desired by the greens commit
tee that all playing be suspended from
until 4.30, in order that a full at
tendance may be in at the annual
meeting.
The Country club bus will run on a
forty minute schedule from 10 o'clock
this morning until as late as required.
The Scranton golf girl is now spoil
