BERLIN, June 14.--After having for
years heaped ridicule upon the lovers
OF the royal" game Of golf, which
they did not consider worthy Of the
name Of sport, the Berliners are at
last beginning to succumb to the fas-
cinRtion Of the game and are rapidly
increasing the number OF members of
the Berlin Golf Club which formerly
consisted almost entirely OF Ameri-
can and English residents of this city
with the Chancellor Of the Empire,
Herr Won Bethmann- Hollweg as the
only distinguished representative Of
official Germany.
The Chancellor. however. soon be-
came an enthusiastic lover Of the
game and AT last persuaded the kais-
er to follow him over the links, with
the result that William II became
almost as enthusiastic and although
his lame arm prevents him from us
ing the clubs himself. he caused his
sports loving brother, Prince Henry
TO Join the club whose success was
assured from that moment
Thanks to the influence and sup
port Of Prince Henry. the club has
now succeeded Ia getting a long lease

full Havel district near POtsdam and
a magnificent club house and an ideal

The exercises were varied by short addresses upon musical themes by J. II. Naler, W. NJ. Martin and oth- CTS. Interest was enliVened by an- thems, quartets and solos bv inc Hunter brothers and the Nunlev class. Two exercises in elocufion were rendered by W. NJ. Martin.
