The attendance at the golf links
yesterday to enjoy the ideal weather,
see the players and partake Of the
hospitality dispensed by Mrs. Clarence
Camp, who was the charming hostess
Of the occasion, was much larger than
usual 1t was ladies' day and the fact
that the property on which the links
are located having recently changed
hands. being now the property Of Mr..
D. f. McIver, induced many who have
not seen the grounds for years, to lend
their presence, among them a number
of gentlemen to take in the situation,
and enjoy the afternoon in all its
pleasing social features.
Mrs. Clarence Camp received with
graciousness and ~informality that
made all feel at home, while her hus-
band supplemented her work by look
ing after the men folks and impart
ing to them many interesting facts
about golf playing, which was news to
the novices. In this connection we
learned that the Ocala Heights Golf
Club has been enjoying the use of the
grounds for paying the taxes on same,
which amounted to $50 year, keeping
the fences inclOsing it in repair and
the grounds cleared and moved, which
is quite an item of expense to the club
but adds greatly to the enchantment
Of the natural attractions of the place,
which has many stately oaks scatter
ed over its undulating topography and
makes it indeed handsome a piece
of landscape as can be found any
where.
The card tables were literally pat
ronized and of course, progressive
whist was the game, while puzzle
tables had their votaries. These were
located on the south side of the lodge.

attractive young ladies dispensed re-
freshments. namely: Misses Mary Bur
ford, julie Wiley, Alta Pearson. Mamie
Wilcox, Sara Davis, Elizabeth New
som, and Beulah Hall.

est score. Mrs. Richard McConathy
led in solving puzzles, while Mrs Ed
gar Bird proved the most accomplished
card player and the victors We're all
suitably rewarded.
