HE Country club has been the
L. scene of much interest the past
N) week. Such perfection Of
weather has never been bv-
slowed on a golf tournament
hitherto and the beautiful surruunu-
ingS have presented an unusually gay
appearance with the throng of visi-
tors present every day. The number
o! out OF town players was less than
ON previous years, but as a contrast
the local club has promised more men
who have made excellent records.

feature which no well regulated coun-
try club should do without and the
history of these pleasant events as far

merry group gathered on the verandas
