gallery following Miss Bishop and Miss

across the links and made, the playing
rather disagreeable, both for players
and spectators.

ed to put in an appearance. They were
Mrs. N. D. Patterson and Mrs. Anita
Phipps. Among the men and boys who
acted in the capacity of caddies was a

fast, L. L, and Englewood, N. J., clubs.
Miss Kirby won only after the hardest
kind OF playing.
In the contest between Miss Bishop
and Mrs. Sanford the playing was very
close for several holes, when the ma
tional champion began to steadily draw
away from her opponent. In fact she
took things very easy all through the
game and made number Of plays with
ali ease and skill that was repeatedly
commented upon. A drive Of hers from
one of the teeing grounds landed on
the next putting green, and evoked
rounds of applause.
During the day tea was served at the
