of wonder and admiration.
Every motorist who has followed study of
the Chrysler Six with a thorough test on the
road, agrees that the boldest possible claims

BUFFERS WIN DINNER

The buffers, captained by Gene
Spaulding, won chicken dinner from
Byron Johnson's buds on the local
golf course last Sunday by scan
dolous score, but held it as yet un-
decided.
This Gene is shark at picking
players, as practically every man
on his side turned in a lower score
than his opponent. w. L. Muldrow
tied the course record with a 3S,
which with his handicap of IL made
q net score of 26 on a par SO course.
Several players turned in net scores
under 80. First and second individual
prizes were won by R. E. Reed and
w. C. Muldrow with net scores of
"a and &c respectively.
Arrangements are under way for
several more contests for the near
future. -..-.-

Dear Mr.. Moores: Complying with
your request to write the Courier
Reporter Few lines dealing with the
social side of the Democratic national
convention held in New York City,
from which I have just returned, ]
will begin by saying that the city IF
New York appropriated the sum of
$500, 900 for the entertainment of the
delegates, alternates and others at
tending the n. convention in official
capacity. .oAside from this there were
many different societies, groups and
individuals putting forth every effort
to entertain their guests in most
royal manner" "l'9 s

one connected with convention had
arrived in,.the city and on that day,
Mrs. j. Borden Hartman gave
luncheon for the women delegates,
at the C0nloy club which enjoys the
reputation Of being the most exclus-
i've woman's club in America. This
was given for MT. and Mrs. McAdoo

inforn,alftalk land was introduced to
all guests present. 4
That night all members of the
convention were entertained by the
city at dinner given at, the Hotel
Commodore with Mayor John F. Hy-
Ian setting as host. This dinner was
perfect in every respect, in food
appointment and service.
The next day the convention con-
vened and needless to say, we were
kept busy for the next eighteen days
with the business Of the convention,
