pleasant months of the entire year. The days have
been comfortably warm and the evenings cool.
There has been very little rain. two thunder
showers late at night having been the only dis
turbances. The cool evenings have brought out
coats. furs and chirons. but these things have be-
common here in late spring and early
fall that they excite little comment

the amateur championship tournament of the
United States Golf Association. the grounds
OF the Country Club at Mortified. The links is in
perfect condition. and some excellent playing was

absence OF the large number of excursionists who
came here during July and August has hghtened
the labors of the life guards very materially.
The force was reduced last Monday, and another
