A Voice From The Past

day, w. A. Sturgiss found square
piece of cardboard on which appeared
the statement that he was member
of the Garrett County Golf Club. 1t
was issued in 1900 and signed by
Hugh H. Carr, treasurer. A nine
hole golf course in the glade at Mt.
Lake Park-seems like a dream. Of
course, the red crawfish threw up
their little protecting spirals of mud
over the course, but what did that
matter? AS lady expressed it last
evening, when we were talking of
this incident, "The little spirals made
dandy tees"
We don't know what the recalling of
the golf course proves-probably
nothing. But we can not help wonder
ing if the young bloods of thirty-three
years ago had little more pep than
those of today. And we can not help
but visualize the attractiveness of the
green sward of a course to passing
q. tourists on the train, or automobiles
travelling over the highway. Now days
resort to attract must have some
thing to offer other than wonderful
scenery and pure air.
And then the signature of DR.. Hugh
Carr renews recollections of man
who was gifted in his profession as
few men are, and endowed with
personality chat bound him to his
friends with hoops of steel" The
eternal Why? intrudes itself when we
think of his untimely death few
years ago.
The Junior Tournament
More interest was apparent this
wear than heretofore in the Western
Maryland Junior tournament, the
finals of which were played last Sat
urday, the postponement having been
occasioned by wet courts. A fair
gallery was present throughout the
play, and more entrants qualified.
Miss Frances Grimes and Ralph Web
er were on the job to see that it was
a success.
The challenge cup, which has been
in play five years, must be won by
player three times before it becomes
the permanent property of the con-
testant. This has not been done. It,
is hoped that next year an additional
cup will be donated and put in play.
1t is encouraging to learn that next
season the Junior Tournament will be
under the sanction of the U. S. Lawn
Tennis association, which will give it
merited standing and widen its activi-
ties.
The cup this year was won by Lo-
gan Weber, which was presented to
him Saturday afternoon by Fred
Chesley.

Sunday morning, along about four
o'clock, Bailiff Silas o. Wiley was
aroused from his beauty sleep by in
sistant knocking at his door. When
he responded he was informed that
several motor cycles were parked
near one of the buildings and that
several people were in the building
Mr.. Wiley hurriedly dressed, and pro-
curing whatever it takes to constitute
a well-dressed policeman, started an
investigation. Entering the building
he found three of four young men
wrapped in blankets and deep sleep.
Having been advised that a motor car
bearing a certain number had been
stolen, he aroused the sleepers and be-
gan to question them. To make a
long story short, he learned their
names and that one or two Of them
had visited the Park last year, attend
ing the Epworth League meetings and
had stopped at Hamilton Hall.
By adroit questioning he obtained
other information which satisfied him
the boys had not been drinking and
intended no mischief. They were
simply out for a trip, practically
broke and on their way to Keyser by
