The Destructive Insects Are Playing
Havoc With the Cotton Crop.

Mr.. w. S. Tedder, one of the best
known farmers north of Dawson,
brought stalk of cotton to the city
Monday morning that showed to what
extent the cotton crop is being dam
aged by "sharp-shooters."
There were somewhere in the neigh
borhood of forty hollis on the stalk
and fully three-fourth of them were
rotting from having been stung by
this insect.
The complaint is general through
ont this section of the havoc that is
being wrought by the destructive
"sharp-shooter, and there is no doubt
that the cotton yield will be materi-
ally reduced. it,
The farmers say that never in their
experience have they seen anything
like it before.

ably devoted as much of her time to
golf in the past as any girl here. but
she has of late been seen but little on
the links, owing TO i'll health, having
been operated on recently for appendi-
citis. She is the captain of the women's
team of the local club. Her inseparable
companion on the links at one time was
Mrs. w. G. Miller, formerly Miss Bes-
sic McCalla, who, with Miss Cheese
brough, may be classed among the ex-
perts here. Mrs. Miller has been in the
East for year or two past, her hus-
band, Lieutenant Miller, U. S. n, having
been stationed there, but she plays a
great deal there. Miss Florence Ives
and Miss Florence Whittell are among
those to be placed in the first rank of
golfers also.
At Menlo some of the best PLAYERS
are Mrs r. D. Girvin, who is also a
member of the San Francisco club: Mrs.
j. Leroy Nickel, Mrs. de Lancey Lewis
Mrs. II. Macdonald Spencer and Miss
Mary Eyre. At Burlingame Mrs. Walter
Martin is, of course, the champion of
the club. but claim to very fine playing
may be made by Mrs. Laurance Scott
and Mrs. Henry Kiersted. The Misses
Morrison are among the leading golf
players in the San Jose Club. At Clare
mont Mrs. P. z, Bowles is the captain
of the woinen's team, and other good
work IN that club is done by Mrs. II. II.
Sherwood, who, with her son, Warner
Sherwood, won a recent foursome
championship at Del Monte; Miss Violet
Whitney, who has this month entered
the international match in the East;
Miss Marie Rose Deane, who plays here
as well, and Mrs. GoodaH. Miss Alice
Hoffman, who played principally in the
San Rafael Club, was at one time the
leading woman golfer of the northern
part of the State, but now gives up but
little of her time to 1t. Mrs W. S.
Porter is an excellent player, and so is
Mrs. c. z. Maud, whose husband is
among the elect of the men players.
The mems championship of the coast
was won by F. c. Newton of Claremont,

Many Army Experts.

A number of the army men who have
been here have played well, among
them Major Downey, who was stationed
here last winter and who has recently
gone to Cuba, and Lieutenant Burton
j. Mitchell, who is also in Cuba with
General Funston. Not so many officers
play now, however, since the removal
of the links to Ingleside, as the location
is not so convenient for them.
That is in fact the only objection to
the Country Club that could be made.

entirely TO that and an early start may

is apt to be the gayest of the week and
there is delightful atmosphere of con-
geniality.
There are number of Englishmen

sidered also besides these may be his
birthday dinner on November 2. The
dates of the Gaiety Club have not been
arranged, but it is safe to say that at
least one of their four dances viii take
place during November Mrs. Whites
first dance comes on November %, Mr..
Greenway's first club dance falls on
December and the next on December
81, while between will come Mrs.
Whites on December IA. During Jan

18th and on the 25th the first of these
two being bal poudre, while her last
is on February s, and Mr.. Greenway
closes the pre-Lenten season with his
final dance week later on the 18th
The dates of the Gaiety cub will
be anxiously awaited. Both the Green
way and Mrs Whites dances will take
place in the ladies' grill room of the
new Palace Hotel, on Leavenworth and
Post streets, and early hours will pre-
vail in each case. Mr.. Greenway hav-
ing announced his change, but Mrs
White was the pioneer in this line, and
made her affairs just as formerly from
$3.50 to / O'Clock.
These dances will be of great inter-

which they are anticipated, as proving

changed life of the city has altered the
character of the locality to such an ex-

of the business world and quite un-
suited for home, so Mr.. Graham will
sell his house and build in the western

An Eastern Enthusiast.

Mrs. Brown, who was an Eastern
girl, is one of the most enthusiastic
and interchangeable players here and one
OF the most successful. One of her
losses by the fire which she most re-
grets was forty eight cups and medals
which went down with the rest of her
belongings in the destruction of St
Dunstan's, where she and Mr.. Brown
made their home. They are at present
living at the club at Ingleside and are
planning TO remain for some time amid
the attractive surroundings of the
clubhouse. Through the efforts of Mrs
Brown the California Women's Golf
Association was formed a year or two
since, consisting of members from six
of the northern clubs and six of the
southern clubs Of the State. Every six
weeks the northern club representa-
tiYes meet at one or another of the
clubs and at the same time the south
ern players meet at one of their clubs
Once q year the whole association, both
north and south, meet. The six clubs
in this vicinity who are in the associa-
tion are San Francisco, Burlingatne,
San Jose, San Rafael. Claremont and
Sacramento, while in Southern Galifer-
MIA they are: San Diego, Coronado
Los Angeles, Pasadena, the Victoria of
Riverside and Santa Barbara The next
meeting to be held in this division
will be at Sacramento on November IS

Misses Eva and Mai Moody (both Miss
