to large motor boat. valued at $500,
we own twenty-six foot boat, with
a 5-horsepower engine: an Is by So

whoNis the present champion of the

tories to his credit. The fact that he
is rated as fourth in the Metropolitan

n real golfer and his work in coming
local events will be watched with in
,erest. The addition of Barry comes
at particularly good time, as it is
: expected he will fill the vacancy on the
club team created by the resignation
Of Eddie Brooke who has decided
to quit the game for while.
