lively spirit seems to be In the air.

golfers We're out in force and the brisk
weather made the course thoroughly en-
joyable All through the day the links were
dotted with little groups of players In the
forenoon there was the usual handicap con-
test, the match this time being a choice
score contest This was contested closely
from the start, and but few strokes marked
the winners and the bottom of the list.
The competition resulted in a tie between
Casinlir de r. Moore and Donald Green.

obliged to default to Mr. Moore as there
was no opportunity for the play-off
