INDOOR GOLF COURSE

Rising Sun boasts of a fine
indoor miniature golf course,
the only one in this entire Sec
ton, and it no doubt will prove
a popular place of amusement
these fall and winter evenings.
H. M. Duyckinck, who fitted
up a splendid outdoor minia-
ture coure this summer, found
the sport was so popular here
that he decided to fit the base
ment of his large garage on
East Main street, as an indoor
course.
1t has just been completed
and will be opened to the pub
lie on Friday evening of this
week.
The course is an 10 hole one,
and presents a beautiful ap-
pearance. To see it is to want
to play on it, with its pretty
green fairways, innumerable
hazards, etc., brilliantly light
ed at night. Even if you do not
care to play on it, it is we'll
worth a visit to the garage to
see. Visit it, and you are
bound to be tempted to play.
