41nlshes Between Gentlemen and
Regular JOckeys-society at the Course
There was a race meeting on the links Of
the Country Club of Lakewood yesterday,
and for every jump of the horses there was a
groan from the dyed in the wool golfers Of
the club. That is, until they were warmed
up by the many close finishes. But this
eostatio condition did not arrive all at once.
and until its zenith they were q disgruntled
set.

golfer who oscillates between Palm Beach,
Ekwanok and Lakewood. as the races began.

this turf. and the steepleohases will ruin 1t

Not SO long afterward. when Willie Price
and Diver came UP the stretch. In the Lost
strides of their struggle, that had lasted for
the two and one half miles over the Jumps.
there was one particularly excited man on
the rails.
Hi Willie Pricel Hi priverl" he yelled.
Run. you cripples! Whoopee. this 10 q
boss raoe!"
The enthusiast was the same golfer who
had been denouncing the meet as a "jumna-
ton shame"
The coaching and outing parties looked
the real thing. From the inner field the con-

and boys on the rails, made o 1ne scene on
the links. fine enough to warrant even the
golfers to excuse the sacrilege. A band
helped along the jollity and the clubhouse
was open to all for the day. Among the coach
