talIty that was extended them ~

willie team one-up on the six
matches, the local players acquit-
ted themselves better than they
had expected and returned horne
with the expectation Of gong al
ter the rudimcnts Of the game

every effort to develop class

I 50 that the Richmond club can
hold her own with the other clubs

will be played in the future.

rather a sporty course, with all
the greens built up and in excel

popular feature noticed by TIE
writer was a large putting green
with something ike d dozen holes
which had been placed around the
No. tee, for putting practice and
tournaments are held on this
green at various intervals.
Immediately after the t1Jrra.
ment, the party was taken to the
Danvi-lIe Elks Club where a very
elaborate buffet luncheon was
served. Following the luncheon
the party was invited around to
the home Of George McRoberts,
who had prepared a special en-
