through the new and more rigid regime
of King George and Queen Mary.
1t is said that when Mrs. Chauncey
was having her portrait painted by a
famous artist in New York, a Rich
mond man who knew the artist was
in the latter's studio. Mrs. Chauncey
could not, for some reason recall her
acquaintance with the resident of this
city even after an introduction.
She did not remember very much
about Richmond. Indeed she had for
gotten all about Indiana.
However, this is rather far away
from Country clubs.
Whatever may or may not be their
faults, it is through these institutions
that the game of golf has been intro
duced and practiced in this country.
Richmond, in instance, had the sec
ond golf club to be organized in this
country west of the Alleghenies, and
although no brilliant golf has ever
been seen on the local links the club
has consistently played the game ev-
er since it's start.
First on the DOugan farm south of
town, the club enlarged it's member
ship and links by removing to the
Matti property east of the city on the
National road, where it remained as a
Golf club until it was evoluted into
the present Country club which has,
since it's beginning, occupied the pres
ent site.

Not long ago there appeared in an

This was illustrated by the career

this town coming here from Kentucky
and who are now, or were during King

The social history of the Carr girls
reads like a romance. OF undistin-

fortune, but with much beauty and
an ambitious mother they now occupy

rather English society, achieved by
very few American women aside

Going to Florida from Richmond at

and a resident of Brooklyn.
