ing the full round but making a good
start on the second before using her
quota of strokes. Second place was
won by Miss Maxcey of Gardiner and
third place by Mrs. Danforth l..
Nash. The handicaps were we'll ar
ranged and most ON the markers
were planted on the fairway to the
ninth hole. The closeness of the play

planted on the putting green OF the
last hole.
