 The turf on the links has been much improved lately by the use of trac- tor mower that Harry Colhs brought out from Chicago. It is quite the Hast word" in gasoline grass cutters. Here tofore. on the course, it has taken week for two two-horse triplex now CTS to subdue the grass for tho eigh- teen holes. This machine now does it in a day and half. tripping mer- rily along at ten-mile an hour clip, cutting a strip ten feet wide as It goes.
 Tennis has been revived at the hotel by some of the young bladles like Messrs Davis, Mersman. LaBaume, Manager Smith and Assistant Manager Maddox. MT.

 Mrs. Haworth's semi monthly Sun day night musicales are proving quite the success her many friends predicted. The second of the series given last Sunday night brought even more peo- pie from Phoenix than the first and they, as well as the regular guests of the hotel, were most enthusiastic in their praise of the artistic program rendered by Mrs. Louis Lipphardt, Miss Lotta Fahlen, Miss Helen Kisselburgh and Mir.

 San Marcos was a busy place for a while on Wednesday noon, when, in addition to taking care of its regular guests, luncheon was served to one hundred and ten visitors from the Los Angeles chamber of commerce. who were not only delighted with the en- tertainment afforded them, but much surprised to find a resort hotel of the rank of the San Marcos in Arizona, a state presumably inhabited solely by cowboys and Indians.
