the merriest and most entertaining days
yesterday since it's organization. The num-
Der of guests was the largest, the program
one of the best and the beautiful day was
an added charm to the days pleasures.

dark when the last pair finished playing.
The days program consisted of "bo-
gie'' match for a handsome cup offered by
Mr.. George Lafferty and handicap matches

"bogie' match DR.. Compton came out the
winner, his figures being 2 up on "bogie"
The doctor made the round in 50, the best
gross score of the day, with the exception
of Laffertys. who won from Col. Denny in
the morning by up and 1 to play. This
match was for the presidents cup, and
Laferty's playing deserves special mention.
Going out he took AZ strokes, rather
poor showing, but he came home in bril-
liant style, taking only 25 strokes, or SO in

dent cup We're: La Grieve beat Fuller, ard
