HOusewarming at New

Johannesburg, Pa. Oct. s. One
of the largest and most delightful

years this farm has been in the pos

from one generation to another. About

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKSAH
PAPEETE

Lost in the vast expanse of the
South Pacific is Papeete, capital of an
isle of enchantment stranded there to
mark the crossroads of a trackless
sea. The red tile roofs of Papeete
peep out from among the verdure of
Tahiti, largest of the islands of the
society group. All world travellers
talk of Tahiti although it might be
put in the vest pocket of an Amer
lean county or its population of 10,-
900 be lost in many a suburb the
name of which is only locally known.
Papeete, the home of dolorous ease,
the native land of the people who
dance, the garden where fruit is al
ways ripe, the bouquet which re-
plenishes itself, is a province of
France. The artistic temperament of
the Trenchman refused to allow him
to plant here anything that was out
of harmony. So the palace of the
governor is as much Tahitin as
French, the barracks of its army post
are hidden among tropical foliage, the
quaint little villas that have been
built on its hillsides are overgrown
with vines of brilliant flowers, the
palace where dwells Prince Hinoe-
provided for him as the representa-
tive of the last reigning house by the
French government which pays him
n Salary-all are III harmony WIN the
old Tahiti.
Nowhere in the south seas is any
thing more subtle and alluring and
fascinating than Tahiti. This slender
island boasts a volcano that rises s.
900 feet into the air and is belted with
many classes of growth, gives birth
to a thousand streams. tucks away a
hundred lakes.
The natives speak the softest dia-
lect in all Oceana. They loll their
lives away beneath their banana
trees, grow round and sleek and
shapely as might so many seals about
a rookery. There is no man nor wo-
man in the world more amiable and
happy and irresponsible than the Ta
hitin. They may not be hurried nor
induced to fetch and carry. They
laugh and trifie and let the traveller
wait. There are men among them of
magnificent stature and the women
have the physiques of bronzed We
muses. and the mild, lustrous eyes of
enchantresses.
The Panama Canal promises to in
troduce Papeete and Tahiti to many
times the number of travellers that
have heretofore known them for the
trade routes are to be directed past
that haven.

PEOPLE FROM MANY STATES
GUESTS AT THE CLARENDON

AS the season advances the register
at the Clarendon shows steady in

prominent persons from various states.

GOLF PLAYERS ARE BUSY
ON CLARENDON COURSE.

Since the weather cleared guests
of the Clarendon have spent much
of their leisure time out in the open,
and as a matter of fact the golf links
have had little more than its share
of patronage Instructor Christie has
been kept pretty busy with number
of beginners, who have shown a dis
position to learn the game at all
hazards.
VIM. Marley made his initial ap-
pearance on the links yesterday,
defeating his opponent, ]. Johnson,
to the tune of one up. Mr.. Manley
made the nine holes in 80 strokes.
Thomas Harrison won decided
victory over his opponent, Jas. H.
LOBBY, in yesterdays match game,
which was by far the most exciting
contest seen on the links this season.
As this was the first of a series of
games to be played between these
two enthusiasts, there may be diff
ferent story to tell after the next
game is played.

CLARENDON BOWLING ALLEYS
HAVE MANY PATRONS.

The bowling alleys at the Claren.
don hotel are attracting many persons
who indulge in the sport more for
exercise than anything else. 1t is a
fact that bowling brings into play
certain muscles that do not receive
the same amount of development in
similar games, and for this reason
bowling is considered an ideal form
of exercise by many of the most
noted physicians.
DIR. A. w. Waite, of Grand Rapids,
Michigan, has of late made the bowl
ing fraternity of the Clarendon sit
up and take notice by rolling some
sensational games. Mr.. Waite's best
score was 227 which is high game on
the alleys this season, and is not
far behind the record string. A. d.
of Hartford, Conn.,, is
a bowling partner of Mr.. Waite's,
and he is likewise showing good
form at the game.
Miss Lillian Johnson, miss of
,welve, with a score of 1913 to her
'redit, continues to head the list OF
ady bowlers, having had but little
o fear from any rival Of her own sex.
