AMERICAS uuLhiNo rl4kAst ri
RESORT.



Ekwanok (yermonU, Z s. A.
In all the length and breadth Of
the United States there Is no place
for golf that is at all like Ekwanok,
up here IN the Green Mountains OF
Vermont. Nor can | think OF one
that is properly TO be compared 20
IL elsewhere In the golfing world,
AT some OF our hill places there
may be just the faiutest resem-
blances; but there is as much or
more In the golf atmosphere or sur
roundings on some OF the Indian
| heights or on such mountain
course as that OF Rokkossan iy far
Japan--little enough as there as in
common between the ancient Orient
and the new America. And there is
this difference always. that for a
course up In the hills, Ekwanok is
surely the best of all, and the
wandering player who once discovers
| 1t on his expedition to this land,
hurries there quickly when he
makes his next visit to the country.
No. 1t is not like the others-noth
ing at Ekwanok is to be likened TO
anything that there us at any other
place. In blue dusk Of early eve
ming | alighted from the train at
| the little station of Manchester-in-
| the Mounains THAT Is rather a cur
ious association of English ideas
Manchester and mountains, dingy
streets with a smoke thickened at
mosphere, and the big, bold hills Of
Cod and o, coming from hot New
| York, but 1t was good to breathe
this sparkling air that had the crisp
ness and the favour Of the Alpine
kind.
II 1t comes to that Ekwanok is no
so very high, but here was the
mountain scent, enlivening, hearlen-
ing; and as my good friend Brown
and | sped along the main street in
his silent car II seemed as If the
silver moonlight was shining not
upon an earthen road but glistening
on snow. Little villas, like chalets
and chateaux of Switzerland, lined
the way, and the people living in
them could be heard in their laugh
ter and song, for the dinner time
was just gone by, and yellow light
shone from the windows. making
that happy contrast with the cold
ness of the moonlight that speaks
of home and comfort.

Nothing but Golf.

|
Yes, all this was for golf, for Elk
wanok is all golf, as | shall tell
you. We passed the great hotel,
where five hundred people are con-
stantly gathered in the summer and
autumn seasons from all parts OF
the States, and indeed from places
far beyond the States, for there
are Britons in numbers here and
travellers from Africa alA the deep
southern lands, making the most cos
mopolitan gathering of its size for
drawing rooms and bridge parties
and the usual orderings of social
gatherings, as is hardly to be match
ed. And there is an amazing viva
city among all these people - for
two reasons, one being that the
American spirit at its best prevades,
and the other that 1t Is Ekwanok,
the heartening, the vigour-making,
the youth-restoring. In New York
and Chicago at the end Of the day
one is little apt to think too much
of the wear and tear Of life and
the fading capacity OF good consti-
tuition; high up in the mountains OF
Vermont, in the shadow OF the hills
of Equinox, one revels in fresh
youth again and has no more envy
for the lad of twenty.
And that, again, is a reason why
Ekwanok is not like the other golf
ing places Of America, and another
following upon 1t Is that this is. so
far as | have discovered. the only
truly solely golfing holiday resort in
all the States, a place to which the
people go for the pleasure OF the
happy game and nothing else, a
place that lives and thrives on its
golf alone. From far and wide the
Americans come to it and leave all
their work behind. and are happy
and leisurely as you never see
them at other Tunes. In Britain
We have an overwhelming number
OF resorts that are for holiday golf
alone, and more are growing all
the time
But this is strong feature Of
golf that America in general has yet
to know, for the favorite courses,
and the best, are those near TO the
big cities, and when man OF Bos-
ton needs a change of game he
may hurry to New York, and do
some business there at the same
time. and when the Chicagoian tires
OF his Wheaton and Onwentsia he
may journey a thousand miles east
to the metropolis also.

THOUGHT HE WAS
A LOST HEIR

Iowa City, JAN 15.-Because Alfred
Wilkes of Los Angeles. Cal, hap
pened to hear few days ago of the
publication here Of deed clearing no.
tice, in which the name of his deceased
father, William A. Wilkes, was men,
toned, Attorney S. X. Stevenson was
the recipient of lengthy telegram
from the California man, the language
Oh which suggested that there were
hopes of large legacy being left In
substance the telegram stated that the
writer's father William, was dead, but
that he and his mother, were still
living
It is thought here that Alfred
Wilkes was mistaken in his informa-
ton about the deed clearing notice,
and had gotten the idea that it in
volved a hunt for lost heir, or some
thing Of that sort.
1t was therefore Mr.. Stevenson's
painful duty to send back word that
the deceased had not fallen heir to
anything that he knew Of, whatsoever.
The Wilkes are we'll known in this
city, having lived here many years
ago.
