THE HOUR SUPREME,

Beauty is bride -.
In midsummer or az sprlngtlde:
In June her solstlcy
Or when the pale mists be,
When the ciod feels some warm power
At work, and 10, flower!
Ay, when is bliss
The sweetest that it ever is?
When the loved one is at rest
Upon the lovers breast,
Or when he first may dare
To dream he feels her there?

On natures round -
Which sweetest is, stiffness or sound?
Which is most musical,
Song or the interval
When the silence stirs, to be
A voice, a melody?
On natures way
Which fairest is, dawning or day?
Which would the nice eye choose,
The noon gold or the hues
When the shadow OF the night
Wakes, smiling into light?

RESUME
INTERCLUB TESTS
Home and Home Tourney Fixed

There are evidences of increasing ac-
tivity among the golfers of San Fran
cisco and neighborhood. On Tuesday
morning, the 7th inst, the ladies of the
San Francisco Golf and Country Club
viii take part in the qualifying round,
over eighteen holes, medal play, of the
second competition held during the
present season for the Councils cup for
women. That is to say, they will do so
If they follow the schedule of events for
the women's annex exactly. 1t is, how
ever, much more likely that they will
dispense with the qualifying round,
which will be rendered unnecessary by
the fact of not more than eight ladies
wishing to enter the competition.
There being no need of eliminating
any surplus competitors, the opening
round of match play will be held on
Tuesday. On Wednesday the semi-final
round viii be played, and on Thursday
the final round. AS both Mrs j. r.
Clark and Mrs. w. G. Miller have two
victories to their credit, If either of
them should prove a winner in next
weeks competition the handsome silver
trophy, which is a three time challenge
cup, will become her property The
trophy bears the names of Mrs. R. Gill
man Brown (once), Mrs w. G. Miller
Cwice). Mrs. j. r. Clark (twice) and
Miss Alice Hager (once).
The ladies also have another trophy
in sight. Mrs. Leroy Nickel has offered
silver cup shaped like a long-stemmed
champagne glass for competition in a
handicap.

Arrangements have been made for
the resumption of the matches between
teams representing the golf clubs of
San Francisco and Oakland. These
have lapSed for some time on account
of the poor condition in which the Pre-
sidio course was and of the loss of the
Adams Point course by the Oaklanders.
Now, however, the interclub contests,
which always excited great interest,
will take place again. A team of twelve
men representing the Claremont Coun-
try Club will visit the Presidio course
on Saturday, the 18th inst, to meet an
equal number of members of the San
Francisco Golf and Country Club in the
first half of a thirty-siX- home and
home match. The second eighteen holes
of the first match will be played on the
course of the Claremont Country Club
in Rockridge Park on Saturday, the
18th inst. DR.. j. r. Clark will captain
the San Francisco team and w. P.
Johnson will perform the same office for
the Claremont twelve.
A second thirty-six- match will
be played later in the season, and if the
same club wins both contests the tour
nament will be ended and the interclub
trophy won If, however, each club
wins one thirty-six- hole match a tie
will result, which will be decided by
third match, probably of eighteen
holes, on neutral links.
In former interclub team matches
each club has been represented by eight
men, but the number of players has
been increased in order to permit more
golfers to be taken into the teams and
to increase the general interest.

ia Clara counties had ordinances pro-
nlpltlng the use of the road, but as
the Santa Cruz authorities have con-
sented to throw the road on their side

ia Clara Supervisors will consent to
do the same for their side. The dis
tance between San Jose and Santa
Cruz by way of Gilroy and Watson

only thirty miles by the mountain
road. When the prohibition was made
many motor car owners were careless
of the rights of others and horses
were little used to automobiles. Now,
however, horses have overcome their

Test Case to Supreme Court

There is pending before the Su-
preme Court of the State of Califor-
mia case in which automobiles are
greatly interested. In July of last
year a San Francisco business man
named T. c. Berry. who lives in Ma
rim County was driving his motor car
on an open road in the county after
o'clock at night and was arrested
under the provision of the county or
dinance, which prohibits the operation
of automobiles between sunset of one
day and sunrise of the next. He was
fined S25 by the Justice of the Peace
and on appeal to the Superior Court
the decision was affirmed.
The matter has been brought be-
fore the Supreme Court and will be
submitted on briefs. The Automobile
Club of California believes the county
has no power to make such an ordi-
nance, its provisions being unconstitu-
uonal and directed against a partic-
ular class of the community The
club wishes to deter other counties
from passing similar ordinances,
which would seriously affect the
pleasure of motoring. The Marin
County ordinance also prohibits the
operation of automobiles on certain
roads within the limits of its jurisdic-
ton altogether. If the Automobile
Club defeats the sunset and sunrise"
provision 1t will proceed to test the
validity of other sections of the Or
dinance.s Warren Gregory has charge
