 Harry Lauder. the marselQnsly sue cessful Scotch comedian. spent eight very busy hours in Hot Springs yes terday He arrived in his private car over the Rock Island shortly at- ter o'clock and was off to Little Rock, where he showed last night. a little after I. Mir. Lauder remained in his car until l0:S0 when he was waited upon Dy Frank Head, man ager of the Auditorium; Douglas Hotchkiss. editor of the Sentinel Record, and the writer In the fam ous comedlan's party were his wife a bright little Scotch woman; Will liam Morris, the noted New York and Chicago theatrical manager, who is handling Lauder's tour: Mrs Nor ris and Miss Ruth Morris, a pretty little lassie of six.
 It has been arranged in advance that Mir. Lauder and his party were to be the guests of the Arlington hotel during their stay in the Spa The party stepped into the waiting automobiles, and, led by Lauder's eight faithful bag-pipe players, pro ceeded up Valley street into Central avenue and thence to the Arlington Thee they turned and made the pret ty two mile drive out to the Coun try Club. Lauder was on the links in exactly ninty-four seconds by the watch, after alighting on the porch of the Country Club.
 Professional Willie" Hoare played the first nine holes with Lauder. The Scotch comedian was handicapped by not having his own clubs" He nsed Hoare's set, and, while all o his drives were far and true ones his approaching and putting we7, scarcely up to his standard as it's plainly evident he knows all there is to know about the game which comes from his native land
 Lauder did two of the holes in four. and three of the others in five which was playing mighty good golf figuring that the Country Club course is only the third one he has played on since starting upon his fifth Amer ican tour twelve weeks ago. Lauder played at Mobile and then defeated William Howard Taft at Augusta a little over a week ago.

A golf course should be built on hill and this one owns the right kind ot site. You say the links are only four years old2 That is hard to be Iieve. From what l have seen of the south. there is really no reason why Hot Springs should not become the mecca for all the Northern and East ern golfers. 7
 Of course. Iauder's interview was not exactly as quoted That's be- cause it's next to impossible to put bis Scotch dialect down on paper. But it's the gist of 1t, as will be at tested to by Professional Hoare. Al ter the golf game Lauder and party were driven back Go the city where 1t was entertained at luncheon in the Arlington's grill by Manager Corrlng- ton. Then, while Lauder was playing at the Auditorium and increasing his wealth. and Mir Morris was aiding Frauk Head in handling the vast crowd that attended the matinee, Mir. Corrington secured q carriage for the ladies. After driving around the East mountain. they visited the Alligator farm and the Ostrich farm, before returning to the private car and awaiting the arrival of Mr. Lauder and Mr. Morris and the call of "all aboards for Little Rock.
 Al ,rain-time both Nr Lauder and Ms. Morris said that they had en-
