Club six miles away.
He had as fellow players today,
Hugo tombstone and Fo. HOrstmann,
both members of the Myopia as well

suffering severely from the six weeks
drought, and while the putting greens
was as keen and as true as ever the

There were very few players on
the course when the President and
his companions started off up the in

President embraced Mrs. Taft affec-
tionately and his beaming face show
ed his happiness at being freed from
official cares and united with his fam
