Montrose, Aug. 1.-The beautiful viii
lage on the hills, which is unusually
gay in social way at this time, has
been the scene of a society event of
unsual interest today on the occasion
of the formal opening of the golf links
OF the Lakeside Country club.
The modest cottage situated upon
hillside overlooking Jones lake, a beau
tful sheet of water from which the
supply for the village of Montrose is
obtained, has, through the efforts of
the promoters of the enterprise, been
transformed into an ideal club house
OF the rustic class, replete with broad
porches that reach under the inviting
shade of the branches of a giant hem
lock that stands near the house;
quaint decorations, and comfortable
chairs and, in fact, all of the accessor-
les that are necessary for the enjoy
ment Of the member or guest.
The golk links contain six holes and
were arranged by Mr.. John Brooks.
of the Scranton Country club, and are
scattered over a broad meadow which
is dotted here and there with spread
ing apple trees, at present bending
under the weight of ripening fruit.
Situated near the club house is also
fine tennis court, which will be COM
pleted in a few days, and near this a
fountain drawn from a pure mountain
spring will soon be among the attrac-
tions.
CHARMING SCENE.
The scene that greets the eyes from
the porches of the club house is
charming beyond description. Nest
ling like mirror among the hills the
beautiful lake reflects the fringe of
emerald green foliage along it's banks
and the patches of woodland and yell
low grain that form the background
sloping to blue skies beyond. The
merry chatter of the players who are
following the little white balls over
the broad field the hum of the locust,
and the occasional twitter of robin red
breast are the only sounds that reach
the ear in this most enhancing Of ma
lures beauty spots on peaceful mid
summer day.
In response to the general invitation
a large number of Montrose society
people in addition to the regular mem
bers assembled at the club house and
passed the afternoon and evening in
| contemplation of the beauties of sur
roundings; the skill of the players, and
in tripping the merry dance.
Prominent among the entertainers
was the president of the club, Mrs. S.
w. Stewart, formerly Of Clarksville,
Tennessee, and Mr.. Charles r. Sayre,
who has been largely instrumental in
organizing the club. Mrs. Stewart
was assisted in serving refreshments
by Misses Throop, Sayre, Edgar and
Milford.

many visiting Philadelphians, Wash
ingtonians and New Workers, as well
as prominent society people of Mont
rose and vicinity, is as follows:
