Yesterday afternoon in an interesting
conte-t between Mrs. W. H. Martin
and Mrs. Frank Mixter, both of this
city. A drizziing rain fell throughout
the game, but that fact did not pre-
vent the contestants from playing ex-
cellent golf, nor did it deter some
twenty enthusiasts from following the
game TO the end.
Mrs Martin won by a score of 4 up
and 8 to play, and by ner Victory be-
comes the owner of the handicap tro-
ply
This match concludes the schedule
of contests for women at the local
club this season.

ment for men begins Monday and con-
tinues through the week. For this
event 30 entries have already been re-
ceived, so that the Held of starterS
will be large one. Monday and

played. The contestants making the
eight lowest scores on these two days
will then compete at match play for
the title of club champion and the
championship cup. At the same time
the second, third and fourth Fights
will compete for the class b. class

Lackawanna School Bonds Again.

Arguments We're heard yesterday be-
fore Judge Edwards. in chambers on
the exceptions to the answer in the
case Of the Delaware, LackaWanna and
Western Railroad company against
the school district of Lackawanna
township. Major Everett Warren ap-
peared for the plaintiff. and the defense
was represented by NJ j. Donahoe,
solicitor for the Lackawanna school
district, and d. j. Reedy, solicitor of
the Scranton school district
The suit is one growing out of a re-
cent sale of $4,000 worth Of bonds by
the school district, The plaintiff COM
pany assailed the action Of the school
board on the ground that the bond is
sue would increase the districts debt
beyond the statutory limitation of two
per cent. of the assessed valuation, and
that the sale of the bonds was not
regularly conducted.
The exceptions to the defendants an
sWer were mainly on relation to the
regularity of the sale, the plaintiff
holding that its averments were not
sufficiently answered, no statement be-
ing made i'm the answer as to whom,
when, how or at what price the bonds
were sold.
The defense contended that their an
swer to the effect that the bonds were
