when put 70 a vote the proposed amend
-,,t was lost by a large majority, and
new article drafted 10 cover honorary
membership II read as follows:

IN referring 20 the subject last night a
vel known Garden City golfer had the
following % say.
An IMPRESSION got abroad among the
r9ulbers OF the Garden City Golf Club that
he amendments offered had some personal
relation This. OF course. meant SIS defeat
Not only was the amendment proposed not
earr,ed but a substitute was offered which
olaces the honorary members Of the Gar
den City Golf Club in a much more hon
cradle position than they occupied before.
A Il now stands, an honorary member Of
ne club IS entitled 10 every privilege en-
rs~d by q regular member. except that Of
rzr1ng dues lie may hold office and serve
on committees, just the same as any one
csc. This result is a hne tribute to the re-
GARD in which the membership of the Gar
don CITY Colt Club holds all Of the present
honora~v members.
Evil be remembered that n short time
par % the annual meeting of the United
safes Golf Association II tTanspired that
Wsbsr j.. Travis was not going TO be the
delegate from the Garden City club at the
nserns IN Chicago. An old and forgotten
article 'n the clubs constitution had been
rssurrected which limited the privileges OF
hcnorarv members. As Travis came under
ihaf head he promptly resigned as chair
nan Of the greens committee, position he
ad held Tor a number OF Years. IL Is eX-
rect-d now. however. that Travis VIII con-
nnue AZ the head OF the committee.
