ed resort in the fullest sense OF the
word which does not contain golt
course. Those interested III the per
fecton OF the plans TO make Glen
brook one of the popular summer re
sorts OF the West have come 10 this
conclusion and intend sparing no cN-
pense in the laying out OF the links
which with the advantages OF plenty
OF natural moisture will far surpaes

summer season.
The keen European hotel managers
with their years OF experience IN lur-

The home of the royal and ancient
game OF goli is England and Scot
land and it is historically one OF the
oldest games ol which there Is any
official record. Many OF the COURSES

proportion OF the population indulges
IN this sport, whereas our courses
are ALL nine or eighteen holes.
The French have the last year or
so been taking assiduously TO goli

times OF motoring boxing and new
clubs are springing up all over the
