It's Treasure Hunting" 1T came
from England. And only a few days
ago, Palm Beach society fell upon
the new sport ana held the first
American treasure hunt.
The game should be immensely
popular from Palm Beach to Puget

skill and chance, gives an oppor-

and provides a substantial reward
for the winners. But folks who
rise by the alarm clock will have
to indulge sparingly. 1t takes all
night to play game.
This is the way it's done: All
those who are going to play con-
tribute a sum of money to be used
for prize. Some one is chosen to
direct the game, and this person
hides clews to the buried treasure
anywhere he wishes. Players then
set out, two by two, in automobiles.
The first couple to solve the meaning
of all clews and come to the treasure
is winner
Prizes Arranged
The first American game at Palm
Beach had q $500 first prize and a.
5000 second prize. Sixty persons
played.
The first clew was riddle Slips
