Very few were able to play either
on the courts of the Meadow Club or
on the links of the Shinnecock Hills
Golf Club during the morning or the
afternoon, and altogether it was a

villa colony. Even the beach was de-
serted during the usual morning hour.
The season has fairly opened with
the week end and the Fourth, when
many of the villa and cottage colony
entertained house parties over the
double holiday. The almost continued
rain during the first of the week pre-
vented many of the outdoor sports
and games. However. there was plen-
q
luncheons, teas and dinners as we'll as

game.
