C. E. Bristol of Fargo. Mr.. Bristol Wor
on the 1S hole one up. The game see
sawed back and forth, first one player
capturing the lead and then the other
Both men men played good golf bu!
Bolster was unsteady on the green's
Bristol played very consistent making
all his shots count.
New Course Record.
Special mention is made here Of the
new record made yesterday morning
by r. F. Smith of Minot, when he GOV
cred the ecourse of 9 holes in 35 shots
To do this Mr.. Smith had to average
better than four shots to every hole
which requires an unusual amount o.
skill with the driver, brassie, n4idiror
and putter The nature of the loca
course is such that bounding ball is
very apt to roll badly thus costing the
player another shot. Mr., Smith was
cool at all times and played a bril-
liant game.
