 ANNIVERSARY

DOUGLAS, Nov. Especial D- Tomorrow, November 25, will mark the anniversary of the Country club formal opening to it's members which occurred two years ago. On that oc- casioa there was a golf match during the day when most of the members had their first experience on the links, playing over the six hole course which was then opened. That eve ming there was an opening reception and dance which was one of the great events in the history of Douglas when the flower of Douglas society attend ed the new club house in body.
 Since that we'll remembered open ing day the club has taken it's posi- ton in Douglas life. has become the most prominent social factor, has won its reputation in the sporting field in golf, with a continuous string of vic tories over Warren and a share over Fl Paso at golf and is pronounced by those in the best position to know to have done much for the betterment of the clerical worker, the scientific worker and the business men of the city, besides being an important factor in advertising Douglas to the world.
 Celebrate Birthday
 It was decided to celebrate the clubs birthday with golf match and with a dance. This was done last year and will again be done this year. The dances are not so largely attend ed now as at the opening reception, when practically open house was kept, but they are no less pleasant, and in- vitations to them are no less coveted, only now they are confined more to the membership than on the first oc- casion. Such was the case last year and so will it be on Thursday night.
 And as to golf. What a change is notedt Last year the finals of the club championship were played and the score for nine holes of the IS then played was far better than the six hole score of the opening match. This year the finals of the annual cham pionsl1ip will again be held on the an niversary day. A coincidence arises for this year the winner of the prize in the first match ever played on the links is a candidate for premier hon ors. meeting the only president the club has eyer had and who more than any other member of the club is re- sponsible for its success from very inception.
 Then and Now
 Last Sunday is a fitting compar- ison with two years ago. Then the house was unfinished, there were six uncoupleted holes for the golf links. Last Sunday there was a triumphant victory at IS holes over the Warren team, who were properly entertained and in addition to this there was an exhibition of fancy rifle and pistol shooting by experts and a pleasant afternoon at the traps afterward, for the Country club and shot gun clut are now amalgamated.
 Before the advent of the Country club there wa sa hiatus in social life which has since been filled. How much this is the fact can be judged from the season events as laid out this year by the entertainment com mittee of the club. There is the an niversary dance on Thursday night a subscription dance on December IT a fancy dress ball on Washington Birthday night, a subscription dance on March II and another on April 1 with an Easter Ball on April p, be sides certain smokers, the dates ot which have not been announced.
 Active in Sports
 The sports and pastimes committed has also laid out a program whicl covered more than three months anC made a fixture event for every Sun day and holiday to the end of thii year. There are many trophies to b, contested for and the links are mad attractive for the ladies of the clul as well as the men and inducennent offered to stimulate golfing interes in the fair sex
 The country club and its promoter has and have done much for Dougla and the city and the club are to b congratulated that there exists her such an institution as the Dougla Country club.
