lied a few months, but since that time
the sport of golf has struck a popular
fancy with the business and professional
men OF the city. At first there was
trouble in securing a course. One east Of
! the city on College Hill was first pro-
posed and the members thought that
| everything had been closed up, but it af-
forwards developed that the plans had
fallen through, as the consent of some OF
! the owners could not be secured. The
! club then decided on the Fairmo1nt
course ard this is to be a permanent
thing with a club house in the near fu-
ture for the use of the members and
their friends.

much enthusiasm and a determination to
head the list of the Wichita members.
Golf is not entirely new to the city, all

fined entirely to the college men. Some
time ago Professor Clark and several of
the Paramount college people started a
golf club and for several seasons played
considerable. Other athletics, however
attracted the attention of the students
and faculty and the matter died down I'M
til the club Of the business and profess
slonal men of the city was organized.
