The new club house and grounds OF
the Paris Hill Country Club were opened
on the Fourth. The first game OF golf
was played at about five O'Clock in the
morning by some of the most enthusiast
tic members of the early rising brigade.
In the afternoon the new club house was
thrown open to the public for inspection.
Dainty refreshments we're served by the
Greens Committee assisted by other
mem bers OF the Club and general So
cial time enjoyed by large number OF
members and guests all OF whom are
much pleased at the general attract
iveness of the place. Besides an ideal
small club house the club has about
thirty five acres devoted to a nine-hole
golf-course and as fine tennis and GRO
quet courts as can be found In the
State. The price of membership and
annual dues Is made lower than in most
clubs of this kind with view of at
tracing members, and as low as can be
done and maintain the property. Guest
tickets for non-residents can be OBJ
tanned from the Secretary at nominal
prices.

ball. In the forenoon Paris Hill played
against a team picked up from the
farms south east of the village and
known as Streaked Mountain. The viii

five. In the afternoons the annual game
between the married and single men was
played on the common. The single
men, encouraged by victories in past
