Arkansas Hot Springs, Feb. 1.- The second week of the season at the American Carlsbad closes with the Arlington, the Park, the Majestic and other fashionable hotels practically completely packed and the smaller hostelries. as we'll as the boarding houses, snugly filled. The cottage colony is already approaching mid season dimensions. Verify is there every indication that the Arkansas Hot Springs, which enjoyed record breaking season of prosperity year ago, will experience the banner sea- son in it's history
 The weather remains bright and clear. Save for one rainy week the month of January was an unusually pretty one here. On two afternoons during the week the thermometer registered as high as 72 degrees and never during the day did it fall below 50 degrees. So the pleasure-se were able to go gallavanting around to their hearts content The motor ists, as we'll as the driving and rid ing brigade, had gala inning, while the golfers enjoyed brilliant ses- sion on the pretty links of the Arkan- sas Hot Springs Country Club. New corners find the sand greens hard to negotiate at first, but after becoming accustomed to them they prefer them to the old turf ones. The sand greens are truer and the only objection that can be lodged against them is that they are too fast" for the golfer un- til he learns them. Once appreciat- ing the "speed' of the sand greens nine golfers out of every ten declare they prefer them to the greens of turf found on most courses.

Osborn was forced to commence housing so- iourners as early as ten days ill ad- vance of the carded opening. That was because the crowd began arriving eV- en earlier than usual.
