GOLFERS ARE BUSY
(By H. w. Lanigan.)

March Nineteen-Fourteen opened as if it was going to be equally as gay and as interesting as any of it's many wonderful predecessors. Truth it is that another season of winter gayety is in full sway and that the arrivals from Chicago, St. Louis, New York, Philadelphia and all the other great Northern and Eastern cities during the first week of March were unusual ly heavy; in fact, all but proved a record breaker for Hot Springs.
 From now until mid-April this quaint little resort town bids fair to remain crowded by the visiting fash ionables. The Arlington has been packed for the past three months. It is only when there are some depar- lures that any newcomers can be cared for. Then, the Hotel Eastman, the Arlington's sister hostelry, one of the largest resort properties in the country, is rapidly filling up. The other fashionable hotels are all we'll packed, while every obtainable cot tage has a tenant and the best of the boarding houses are completely filled.
 Tonight's Papanese ball at the Ho- tel Eastman was the weeks social feature The ballroom was prettily and tastefully decorated and quite a lot of the guests appeared in cos tunes. There were Yum Yums' and "Fi-Fis,' and all their dainty sis ters and cousin, on the floor in pro- fusion, as we'll as whole horde of "Li Hung Changs," "Ko-Kos" and "One Llugs" Chicago's smart set afforded the Japanese ball particular ly lavish patronage. Mrs. G. G. Wood in, Mrs. H. H. Bradley, Mrs. Middle ton-Clifford Mrs. Edgar c. Smith Mrs. H. G. Glenn, the Misses Alice, Bessie and Mildred Philbin; Mrs. B. Griffith Williams, Mrs. A. J. Ran, the Misses Marie, Lillian and Ethel Nc Mahon; Mrs. George O. Schoolcraft, Mrs. T. c. Gleick, Mrs. H. J. McNich- ols, Mrs. H. F. Nicholson, Mrs. B. D. Wellington, Mrs. William M. Webster, the Misses Grace and Dorothy Web ster, Mrs D. H. McIntire, Mrs. A. L. Upton, Mrs. H. c. Hadley and Miss Helen Hadley, all of Chicago, being particularly exquisitely gowned.
 The Arlington's weekly formal As cembly also attracted a gala gather ing of the visiting fashionables. It took place Monday night, instead of Tuesday night, as programmed by the management, so as not to conflict with the success of the Elks' Min strels. The performance was a good one and guests at the Arlington and Eastman helped in filling the Audi torium to overflowing.
 The golfers have been kept off the links on but one day since the middle of February. The annual Washing tons Birthday tournament was a splendid success. w. C. Sipple, Jr., of the Glen Echo Country Club, was the winner, with F. w. Fitch of the Boone, Ia, Golf and Country Club, the runner-up. F. D. 'Wilkerson of the Youngston, O., Country Club, as the medalist. H. J. Elfborg, Edgar C.. Smith and c. J. Woessner were the Chicago golfers turning in the best scores in the qualifying round. MT. Woessner, a member of the Calumet Club, won the cup in the second flight.
 Oaklawn will be the scene of a days automobile racing March IT.. J. Alex Sloan of Chicago, is promot- ing the meet. Eddie Hearne and Louis Disbrow are two star drivers who are among the entrants. Ralph De Palma will also probably compete. Sloan having made that great driver an offer he can scarcely turn down.
