In regard TO the turf I may say Il IA n
fine IL can be made-the Greens are al
most perfect and resemble a billiard cloth
more than they do a grass plot. There II

might say that the entire fair green is one

I had the pleasure of witnessing the
match between James Braid and Andrew

Of the greatest games OF golf ever played.
The score by rounds was as follows:
First eighteen holes-Braid 70. Kirkla.

Second eighteen hole,-Braid. 70: Kirkla-

The match was all square up to the thir.

distance OF 3s7 Yards IN three strokes.

BY CAPTAIN GEORGE 8. McGREW.
An interesting feature to Americans con-
cerning the links at Versailles is that from
any Paris residence II takes about an hour
and a half to reach them. From the resi-
dence about thirty minutes is required TO
reach the railway station, about forty min
utes on the train. and about twenty min
utes in a cab to the grounds. Certainly
twenty minutes to Glen Echo cannot be
complained of. The links are new and not
in condition at this time. Bunkers are very
numerous. every hole being protected in

For many years 1t was the McGrew Guards.

golf at the Glen Echo Country Club.
Captain McGrew bears a good old Scotch
name. But he IS American TO the core.
He cared very little for Scotland, he HIM
self admits. until he came TO care for
golf. Then. in a sense Scotland could be-
come a fatherland because II was the father
land Of golf.
Even SO. the idea that there was aught
beyond the limits OF the United States
worth travelling many miles TO see did not
strike him forcibly. until his family urged
upon him the project of making a Eu-
ropean tour. The cares OF business had
been many. rest seemed necessity So
he set aside to do Europe two months OF
last year. but not without sigh, think
ing It a great waste Of time. On August
1e he set sail. and on October IS he was

The Matinee.

The matinee at the opera house this
afterooon was attended by g large
number OF ladies and children. 1t was
an event for the children and they en-
joyed the performance to great de-
gree. Several parties of children
were made up, chaperoned by some
lady. The giving away of the dolls
excited quite good deal of interest,
and several little ones were made
happy by the gifts. The performance
was rendered inI-a mosti creditable
manner and the entire audience
was well pleased.

Within the past twelve months
we have built and equipped a
