Two Marriages Celebrated.
 Thousands of dollars have been ex- pended in this city during the past few weeks in the construction of miniature golf courses, which have seemingly gained a potent foothold with the local sporting populace. This morning Oscar Anderson, super intendent of the. public works, issued permit to Robbie Roy Golf" of 900 Wethersfleld avenue, Hartford, to erect one of the tiny fairways in the inside of the old Princess theater on Riverside avenue. where opera tions have already been commenced. The course is being built by Mrs. Hattie F. Osborn Case of 30 Hough street. Plainville, at a cost of $2,000. Despite the fact that drastic ac- tion has been taken in Hartford by police in an attempt to close the courses of that city on Sunday, noth- ing has been done about it here as yet. It is believed that local fairways of the small type will be permitted to continue their businesses on the Sabbath. A police authority of this city refused to offer any comment on the subject today but said that patrons of the courses were playing the game on Sunday" Belief here lis that the miniature golf course promoters should be allowed to oper- ate their business on Sunday as do the theaters and athletic associations. Bristol has about half dozen of the tiny affairs at present. There is one on the property Of Dr. Benja- min B. Robbins on Main street, one at Church and Laurel streets, one on Pennington avenue and one at Lake Compounce. and others being con- structed in Red Mems hall and the Malone building.
