greens would be reached trouble would i'm
mediately bob up. Mr. Lafferty is one of
the best stroke golfers in the District and
with anything like his usual work on the
green his score would have been very close
to the leaders. Mr.. Mattingly on the other
hand. would get away from the tees in bad
shape, slicing a great deal, and his APP
proaches were also poor, but he managed to
break into the sensational class when the
green's were reached. and this latter play
alone kept his totals down into good figures.

afternoon. but the few who cared to follow
the players went after Mr.. Oden HorStman
and l.. E. Larocque the Garden City golfer.
Mr. Larocque's splendid play at Hot

desire to see his work was manifest by the
spectators at the course. Mr.. Horstman
improved on his good work of the morning,
while Mr.. Larocaue was at the height Of his
game on account Of the course being
strange. He has beautiful style in ad-
dressing the ball and gave evidence Of be-

ditions. He finished in the first sixteen and
has yet splendid chance for the principal
trophy in match play.
Played Beautiful Golf
Another pair that played beautiful golf,
although with hard luck trimmings, was
DR.. Walter Harlan and DR. Compton.
Both fell behind in their afternoon play,
but managed to finish with good enough fig

play.

last evening.
Mr.. Lyon is a KlOndike prOSpectOr,
where he has spent couple years.
He left there last spring, but did not

He relates the same story about the
country as the rest of them who have
been there. He said il is net a land
where honey and milk flow in album
dance, but where one who wants to
make fortune, must get down and
dig for it. AS he says, many have
gone there with Authorizations of
wealth and riches, but if they were
fortunate enough 70 return alive on
account of the hardships, they
returned sadly disappointed. He
stated that there was plenty of the
yellow metal in the ground but that
it takes Drawn and a person of a
healthy anduvigorous constitution to
get it out.
AS to the amount Mr.. Lyon got, he
says it's enough to be satisfied with.

While in Wausau last Sunday we
were panied to see between two
beautiful homes, on the north side of
the street that leads to the Insane
Asylum, high solid board fence
erected from the front fence to the
barn in the rear, distance of about
100 feet obStructing the view between
them. On one side of this was large
sign in the front yard which read:
"Our neighbors built this fence" To
the visitor this fence and sign tell a
great story. The story is not only a
disgrace to those who have had a part
in the construction of the fence. but to
the city as whole. Life is to short for
neighborS to thus dwell. Take it down
and remove black spot from an other
wise beautiful home. and Still more
attractive city. Such signs are not
true of Wausau as whole.
