Interesting Golf Notes
From the Local Clubs

Entries are pouring in for the cham
pionship event of the District Of Co
lumbia Golf Association which will be
held over the Chevy Chase course this
week. So many have been received
already that it is an assured fact that
it will be necessary to play by rounds
Wednesday as is provided for in the
rules for holding the event in case
more than thirty-two enter. In last
Sundays Star, attention was called to
the fact that according to the latest
handicap lists of the various clubs,
1863 are eligible to compete, and as con-
ditions governing eligibility make 1T
somewhat of an honor to be allowed to
play, it is quite likely that practically
all who can will enter. Entries will
close with Secretary Alpheus Winter
Tuesday evening.
The most interesting match in the
harvest home" tournament of the Ban
nockburn Golf Club developed in the
contest between William Henry White
and S. H. Greene, who fought it out
last week for position in the upper half
of the semi finals. Greene finally won
after f1fty-two holes. by the score of 8
up and 2. The first eighteen-hole round
found them all-even and another was
Immediately arranged, this. too, being
squared. 1t was not until the third
victory giving him the right to play
Walter l. Travers in the semi-finals.
In connection with the new ratings
given the woman players at the Chevy
Chase Club, it is Interesting to note
that those at Columbia are all rated at
twenty-four strokes. There are only
four at Columbia-Miss NJ. E. Latimer,
and Mrs. Hattie E. Middaugh-and they
are all rated on the same basis as the
men. At Chevy Chase a different ar
rangement has been made, the best
player at the club being put on scratch
and the others being given marks by
comparison.

BIG THURSDAY At The SHORE.

Yesterday was big Thursday" at
Bowers Beach, and next Thursday will
be big Thursday" at Slaughter Beach
Both of these days are the occasions
for the people for many miles around
to gather at the bayshore, and pass
the day in social intercourse. In the
years gone by. it was the signal for
roughs and drunks to gather for a
great carousal and a general debauch.
But since the people voted out liquor
as a legal business the annual gather
ings at the bayshOres above mention
ed, have been larger than ever be-
fore, and the people have enjoyed
themselves in many forms of innocent
amusement, without coming into con-
tact with the degrading influence of
the debauched men, who spent the
entire day in drinking, fighting and
swearing, before the women and chill
dren of those who took no part in
their orgie, but because the law san
toned the sale of liquor, had to put
up with the annoyance or remain
away from the annual gathering with
friends at the bayshOre. Many thou
sand take part in the meetings each
year.

, MILFORD EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.

Last week the new superintendent
of the Milford Emergency Hospital
Miss Emily Henry, a graduate of the
Jefferson Hospital, and former head
nurse of the Wills Hospital at Phila-
delphia, took over her duties. This
marks the beginning of a greater
sphere of usefulness which this hos
pital is destined to fill.
A number of accident cases and OPP
eratiOns have been looked after at
the hospital this week. Walter Shell
ton had a plastic operation on an eye.
Captain Jack" an old negro relic of
former times, was operated on for
eye trouble, the operation resulting
in increased vision for him. Kath-
crime Willin, of Georgetown, was op-
Grated on for eye trouble and gold
ball was implanted in the socket in
preparation for a false eye.
While playing in a field in which
her father was moving hay, last Sat
urday, Virginia Hunter ran into the
mower and so badly mangled her left
leg that an amputatiOn was necessary.
She is in the hospital where she is
doing as we'll as could be expected.
James Patterson has so far recov-
cred from his illness that he is able
to leave the hospital this week.
George Johnson, who was admit
ted recently, has been progressing
nicely and should make rapid recoV-
cry if no unforeseen events interfere.
The managers wish to thank Miss
Katie Truitt for the gift of a pair OF
crutches and Mrs. A. p. Williams for
money for the painting fund. Mrs.
George Johnson gave a chicken and
vegetables and Mrs. Ona Benson gave
apples and vegetables this week.

Warning To Sussex County People.

The Sussex County Board of Assess
ment has learned that many people are
simply making a copy of the old assess
ment lists as to the report of values o.
property owned or controlled by them,
on the blank forms sent out from this
office for them to fill out.
We hereby give warning to one and
all, that this is contrary to the law, and
that we purpose to enforce the law as
made and provided.
In any instance where the property
owner mas made a false return by copy
ing the old assessment figures. and where
that has been done upon the advice of
another, we shall prosecute such cases
for the purpose of enforcing respect for
the law.
We have several cases of this kind in
several Representative Districts, which
were made for the purpose of evading
taxation, and the Board of Assessment
without fear or favor, will prosecute
these cases in open court but, if there
is even one of these who desires to re-
call his statement already forwarded,
and submit another statement with a
correct valuation return to substitute in
place of the one now filed. he may do
so. and the Board of Assessment will
forward new blanks to his address, by
such party making written application
for them.
The Board of Assessment desires to
impress upon all the people that their
work will be performed according to
law, and that any willful attempt to de-
fraud the county by under-valuatlon,
will be punished as the law provides
through the courts.
