A great volumn OF retail business
was done in this city yesterday, Dol

tie merchants in general and the mer-
camille section OF the Chamber of
Commerce. Despite the inclement wea-
Their rain falling practically all day.
Market street was crowded from early
morning until late yesterday after
noon and had the weather been fair

The results justified the big sac
rihces made by the merchants in giy-
ing the public an opportunity to pur-
chase a wealth of the best merchan-
disc at CRAFTY reduced prices. according
to the merchants themselves. They had
made every possible arrangement for
the convenience of the shoppers and

between Third and Fourth streets
was lined on either side with automo-
biles. all OF which We're owned by non

came here by train and trolley so that
the general buying was not confined
TO the city residents alone.
Members of the mercantile sec
ton OF the Chamber of Commerce
which made the necessary arrange
meuts for Dollar Day" were. more
than gratified with the results. A can
vass of the stores in the business sec
tion by a representative of the Cham
her OF Commerce showed that all the
merchants were plea aaed with the
amount OF business they were doing.

HARDING PLAYS GOLF
AS CROWDS LOOK ON
Large Gallery Follows President
Over Mountain Courses at
Jefferson, N. n.

Lancaster. n. H., Aug. AFTER
one OF his favorite waffle breakfasts
yesterday morning President Harding
sat on the terrace of The Lodge, Sec
rotary Weeks Summer home on the
top OF Prospect Mountain, and admired
the view to the east that takes in the
entire range of the White Mountains,
pwo dignified. elderly gentlemen
nearby drew of their coats, walked
20 the tool house, returned with a lawn
mower and an iron roller. and set to
work on the green's of a nine-hole APP
proach-and-putt miniature golf course
The Secretary of War, Mr.. Weeks,
pushed the lawn mower. while the
senior Senator from New Jersey, Mr.
r1-clinghuysen. dragged the roller in
the wake of the whirring scythes.
This is a course that Secretary
Weeks had built just before the ar
rival of his Presidential guest. Par for
the course is 81, and Mr.. Weeks has
offered a silver cup for a tournament
that will be played every morning
during the remainder of MIR. Harding S
stay. The qualification round was
played off yesterday morning and
the President turned in a card OF SO
one under par.
A delegation from the Lancaster
Board of Trade, headed by State Sen
ator Irving Drew. called upon Presi-
dent Harding yesterday morning and
received his acceptance TO speak IN
Centennial Square here. Governor
Browne of New Hampshire was a
luncheon guest at The Lodge.
The President returned TO Secretary
Weeks mountain home last night WIFE
an added coat Of tan acquired IN an
afternoon foursome over the Waumbek
course at jefferson in which Senators
Frclinghuysen and Phipps failed TO
obtain revenge for yesterdays defeat
az Crawford on MIR. Harding and Sem
ator Hale. At the clubhouse the Pres
i3ent was welcomed by William d.
olicr. President of the club. and father
~ Colonel Franklin d'olier, former
national commander Of the American
Legion. The gallery that followed
the Presidential match rivaled In size
that of championship contest.
Unlike most average golfers-and
the President may be rated as a player
standing high in the second rank of a
large country club-Mr. Harding Is
NOT disturbed by a gallery. Whether
or not a gallery is present, Mr.. HARD
ing always plays deliberately. His
drives are usually straight and rarely
.foozled." But il is in putting that the
President really shines. Standing with
his legs further apart than most golf
ers Mr.. Harding is a dangerous com
petitor on the putting green.

few days in Washington was slightly
indisposcd. spent the day resting.

that competition will force all
