Attracts Large Number OF
Persons.

Persons.
The annual opening DAY OF the South
Omaha Country club was celebrated yes
terday. About 500 guests visited the
grounds during the afternoon and evening.
The weather was slightly too cool for the
best enjoyment and caused several COM
binations of summer suits with winter
overcoats. Very few Of the guests were
from other places than South Omaha. The
people patronized the club In q manner
which auRurs well for the success Of the
season. with the largely increased facili-
ties Of the kitchen and the cafe the guests
at dinner were accommodated in an easy
manner There was not the slightest
drawback in any of the appointments.
The dinner was In three courses and ex-
cellent in quality and service. One hun
dred and thirty-three guests we're served.
The number was divided into three d.
visions. The meal began at $50 and lasted
until p. m. A short INFORMAL program
was given before The floors of the pavilion
were given over to dancing. The dance
was an informal affair. The music was
furnished by Dimmock's orchestra. Dur
ing the afternoon the golf links were
patronized by number of contestants and
several good scores were made. Most Of
the work was in the nature OF practice,
however, and no special matches were
played. South Omaha people enjoyed the
entire function with a spirited ease char
acteristic OF the community. Mr.. Cheek
was much pleased with the outlook. He
said he was more convinced than ever
that the policies of the club were sound
and beneficial The club paid expenses
last year and would no doubt do better
during the coming season The object has
been to provide a good comfortable re-
sort for people of refinement at a mod
crate cost, and TO keep down the spirit
of rivalry which has worked harm to
many similar organizations. No one is
expected to outshine the other and all
meet on common footing. That kind of
a feeling seemed to pervade the entire
day. Much of the good time was due to
the careful efforts Of the president and to
w. B. Tagg, head OF the entertainment
department. Many dinner parties were
given by the families represented in the
membership. The guests and parties were
