Avails Of Chance.
The sixth hole gave Miss Harley a
chance, and she availed herself. taking
the honor from the next tee for the first

through Miss Harley's mind when she
captured the seventh in to Z. One of
the prime reasons for this was again a
defective tee shot by the Philadelphia
golfer. who caught one Of the traps. Miss
Harley on the other hand had a worthy
drive, a bold brassey, which ignored the
three puts, but won.
Three puts on the eighth green was the
sad factor which ruled against Miss Har-

At the eleventh Mrs. Fox regained the

In short order with a par on the twelfth
