The Canadian Saturday, May the 18th was an epoch-making occasion in the Senioris on annals of golf in Canada, because it was on that day the Can- the Course. adian Seniors’ Golf Association came into being at the Royal Montreal Golf Club, at Dixie. E With His Excellency the Duke of Devonshire as Patron of the Association; with Lord Shaughnessy as Honorary President, and a board ofofficers and governors composed of some of the leading men of the Dominion, the Association ‘‘swings’’ fromthefirst tee under the most happy and most suceess-promising aus- pices. The main idea of the Association is of course to bring together from all parts »f the Dominion Golfers of 50 years and upwards, the majority of whom are not very keen about championship tournaments, but who do thoroughly appreciate ind value a couple of days of golf with kindred spirits and kindred interests. Later on, when conditions are more favorable, this idea will take on an international phase. To the south of us are 500 senior golfers, prominent in all walks f United States activities— ‘men who have done something in the world: some- hing in every walk of life; something that means something to American citi enship.’’ It is the intention to have annual matches with this notable body of Hevotees of the Royal and Ancient, and that such encounters, irrespective of the Bolfing side of the gatherings, will make for much goodwill and good wnderstand ng and good fellowship between the two allied countries, does not admit of a

3 beradventure of a doubt. E 71

Then too, the patriotic side of the Association’s activities promises to be a most commendable one. There are during the war, to be no paid officials, no un- necessary expenses of any description, but all the proceeds are to be turned into the Patriotic funds, Bythis means quite a handsome sum every year will be raised by the Seniors. rom a health-giving standpoint, from a good fellowship standpoint, from an international standpoint, and from a patriotic standpoint, therefore, the formation of the Seniors’ organization is a most jutifiable and timely one, in every re- spect, and in the years to come the Canadian golfer who arrives, as arrive he must, at the Falstaffian years of confession and discretion ‘‘as I think his age, some fifty or by’re lady, inclining to three score,’’ will hold in grateful remembrance, Mr, W. R. Baker, C.V.O., President of The Royal Montreal Golf Club and all those associated with him in having, after much thought and effort, launched so successfully the Canadian Seniors’ Golf Association. Patriotic Funds Whe season of 1918 on the golf links of the Dominion, should be Should be a record one for the Red Cross and other Patriotic Funds, There SuppPPorted. should be no ‘‘shirking’’ in connection with this, , either up| on the part of club officials or members generally. The eall for patriotic purposes Was never so insistent as this year, Some of the larger clubs have already held, or are planning, patriotic days. Manyclubs will raise $1,000, $2,000, perhaps even $3,000. What the larger and wealthier clubs can accomplish the smaller ones can attain to in a lesser degree. Course, club house and general surroundings may not lend themselves to an exhibition match participated in perhaps by teading amateurs and professionals a most desirable feature—but there is not a club that cannot raise a goodly sum by holding some special golfing competitions—putting matches, approach- ing and driving events, mixed foursomes, four ball matches—all can be utilised to raise money for a good cause, local or national, Not a friendly inter-club match should be played without an entrance fee. Club competitors too can very well be ‘‘taxed.’’ In fact, not an event should be run off on any golf course in Canada without the Patriotic funds being considered, It is conservatively esti- mated that $50,000 was raised on the golf courses in the Dominion last year for the Red Cross and kindred societies. Make it $100,000 this season! It’s every golfer’s duty; it’s every golfer’s privilege, to subseribe to the golfing patriotic funds. See that you do your “‘bit,’’? Don’t be a ‘‘handicap’’ giver; be a ‘ plus’” One,

Government The West from a golfing standpoint is certainly favoured of the Takes Over gods. Unlike the Hast, there leading municipalities understand Banff Course. the value of the game and give their people municipal links, And now the Dominion Government steps in and also decides to have a hand in the game. The Interior Department has recently taken over from the OC. P.R. the unique and beautiful nine-hole course on ‘‘the roof of the world,’’ at Banff, in Sunny Alberta, and already has a staff of men converting it into an ceighteen-hole course of championship calibre, Next year at Banff the visitor to that show place of the continent will have the delight of a 6,378 yard course at his disposal, amid surroundings of the most idealie deseription. The Interior Department has the environment and the sporting contours to make this one of the greatest links in America, There is no reason why, in the years to come, Banff should not be the golfing Mecea of the continent. The pos sibilities from a golfing standpoint are simply ilimitable, and the government will be justified in sparing no expense to bring the course up to championship calibre, Nature has been prodigal in providing every requisite, and no parsi monious policy upon the part of the powers that be, should be employed in laying out and maintaining this really wonderful golfing property,

That was ‘‘rubbing it in’’ with a delicate but firm touch, when the widow ee of Mr. David W. Bishop, who wona solid silver cup at Lennox, Mass, donated by that arch-hypocrite and fiend Bernstorff, former German Ambassador to the United States, sent the bauble into the War Savings Metal Market in New York,

to be melted downand the proceeds used against the country of its donor, That i silver cup was worth probably $100, and will buy a few six-inch shells alright. Mayeveryone ‘‘score’’ and ‘‘seore’’ heavily in the big gameat the Front. | ‘k * * 4 This Calkins System is certainly going with a great swing. The Canadian ] Seniors’ Golf Association, following the example of the R. C. G. A., has strongly advised all clubs in Canada to adopt it, and leading clubs throughout the Dominion are doing so. The ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ has forwarded over 50 of the forms on

request to the Secretaries and Captains, from coast to coast. It looks as though before the end of the season, the system will be universally adopted in this country. A postal card to the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ will bring you a formif you want it.

PENSE Herewith an extract from the exceptionally interesting annual report of Mr. George van-Felson, Honourary Secretary of the Quebec Golf Club: ‘*No inter-city club matches were played last season, but this may be possible the coming season. Other clubs like our own, having 4 taken on a newlease of life, , the hop} e is expJ ressed that this pleasant feature of the game may be reyived.’’ There is no reason this year whyinter-club matches should not be played throughout the Dominion—with this proviso, an entrance fee from the players for the Red Cross or other patriotie fund. et % & ““Rules to Remember in 1918,’’ issued by the Rules of Golf Committee of the R. ©. G. A., and published in the May number, have met with an appreciative reception, and have been found of great help, judging from letters received. Mr. J. Steele, captain of the Stratford Golf and Country Club, asked if he could secure a hundred copies for distribution amongst his members, and the ‘‘ Canadian Golfer’’ has supplied him with these. Any other clubs wanting copies of these rules condensed in neat, four page form, can secure them. The price is $2.00 for 50 copies, or $3.25, postage prepaid, for 100. MP kebenst 3 A despatch from Londonsays: ‘‘Tn reference to the invitation of American golfers to Harry Vardon tovisit the Unite: States to help them raise half a million dolJars for the Red Cross, The Chronicle understan: that he is prepared to accept the invitation if he can obtain a golfing partner to go with him, and can secure permission from the authorities. He is of military age, but it is not though! that the military authorities will refuse to grant three months’ absence. The invitation ask! him to bring Massey and Braid with him. Though he has received many invitations, Braid hos never been in America, and it is doubtful whether he can be persuaded to accompany Vardo Massey has been in the French army since the commencement of the war, and was wounde! during the battle of Verdun. Meanwhile trace of him has been lost, and Vardon is unable get in touch with him. e+ bf & One of the most abused rules of golf on Canadian courses is that relating ‘0 a lost ball. Definition No. 20 emphatically states that ‘‘a ball is ‘lost’ if it not found within five minutes after the search for it has begun.’’ The pract of ‘‘hunting’’ for a ball longer than the prescribed time is very general, indec The player who Joses a ball and tramps up and downinsisting on searching jor it sometimes for ten minutes or more, is a nuisance to himself, his partner aud opponents, and the whole course. Players should not have the slightest serup|:s

in calling the ‘‘time limit’? on the abuser of the rules and good nature, and ‘calling’? it with no uncertain ‘‘eall.”’ Ha NES In connection with a despatch from Chatham, Ontario, stating that a golf club was in process of formation there, the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ wrote a journalistic friend in that city for verification of the despatch, HHerewith his reply: ‘(We have in contemplation the purchase of grounds for golf, but I am wondering what influence induced me to identify myself with the movement. The stock list is being eireu- lated, and an option has been secured for the land. I can find time for a game of ‘poker,’ but ‘golf ’—there will be nothing doing.’’ If our journalistic friend gave up poker for the putter, he would find himself a better man physieally and mentally. Get into the outdoor game, and get out of the indoor game as soon as possible, is the best advice that can be handed out to him. - && The passing away of Col. Sam. Sharpe, M.P., D.S.O., shortly after his re- ‘turn to Canada from the front, is one of the tragedies of the war. He was the ‘commanding officer of the 116th Battalion. He took the battalion to France, and while it was being tempered and tried as a fighting weapon, worked prodigiously to make his menfit. Before the battle of Vimy there was no smarter body of men

behind the Canadian front than the Hundred and Sixteenth. Col. Sharpe was an enthusiastic golfer. There is no club in Uxbridge, his home-town, but he used to play on a temporarycourse there of a few holes, and when in France or on leave in England, always madeit a point to enjoy a game. There was nothing of the *‘nolitical Colonel’’ about the C. O. of the 116th. He was a ‘‘fighter’’ in every ense of the word, and his death as a result of a nervous break-downis sincerely nourned throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion. MLS. The 1918 season has certainly witnessed a very remarkable start of ‘‘Holes- in-One.’’ The ‘‘Canadian Golfer’? in announcing the resumption of its compe- ition and the award of a year’s subscription to any golfer making ‘“‘the eup from the tee,’’ ventured the prophecy that whereas the East (Ottawa) was the first o record the feat in 1917, this year, in all probability the West, with its increasing pumber of players, would witness the initial performance. And ‘so it has come bout. And the remarkable feature is that the ‘“‘trick’’ should have been

‘turned’’ at the same club, and one of the performers in order to make no mis- ke about his expertness, decided to chronicle it twice !—constituting a record or Canada. The well-known Vancouver Golf and Country Club, Vancouver,

yas the scene of these three holes in one, and the experts who pulled off the stunt ere Miss V. Henry-Anderson, an ex-lady champion of Canada, and the Captain the club, Mr. Robert Bone, who was the dual performer.

THE SENIORS’ ASSOCIATION Organization is Meeting with Most Enthusiastic Reception—Governor-General Accepts Patronship.

UDGINGfrom the applications for membership and letters received fromall parts of the Dominion by the Honorary Secretary-Treasurer, the Canadian Seniors’ Golf Association is bound to be an unqualified suecess, and in the very near future the membership limit of 250 will be reached. Even from the United States comes an appreciation of the Association and an application for membership. Mr. James G. Darling, of Atlanta, Georgia, in 1873 played golf in Canada with Mr. J. B. Forgan, now president of the First National Bank, Chi- cago, and Mr. J. J. Morrison, manager of the B. B. N. A., Hamilton. Mr. Darling

is a life memberof the Brantford Golf and Country Club, whieh makes him elig- = , ible for the Canadian Seniors’ Association. e o

Rounding off the notable list of officers and governors, the Seniors will hear N with very great gratification indeed, that His Excellency, the Goverenor-General, ¥ i has graciously consented to become the Patron of the Association. Herewith a copy of the letter received by Mr. W. R. Baker, C. V. O., Presi- dent of the Seniors, from Mr. Arthur F. Sladen, private seeres of His Ex- cellency: GOVERNMENT HOUSE, Ottawa. May 27th, 1918. ‘*Many thanks for your letter and enclosure. Wis Excellency will be delighted to become Patron of the Seniors’ Golf Association for Canada, as so kindly and unanimously desired by the delegates of the various clubs at the meeting you refer to,’’ His Excelleney is a golfer himself, and is the owner of the well-known East- bourne golf course on the south coast of England, where golf owes much to his liberality, which is at all times and forall purposes extended with a most generous hand. Both he and the Duchess belong to many golf clubs in Great Britain. His Excellency is also a warm supporter of cricket, and is an ex-president of the famous Marylebone Cricket Club, the governing body of ericket throughout the world, as is St. Andrews of the Royal and Ancient. Other most interesting letters received are from four leading membersof the United States’ Senior Golf Association, Mr. Horace L. Hotehkiss (Honorary President) ; Mr. Darwin P, Kingsley (President), Mr. Frank Presbrey (ex-chair man of the Tournament Committee), and Mr. 8. Charles Welsh, who it will bi remembered were elected the first honorary members of the Canadian Associa tion.

It never occurred to me, even remotely, that the Canadian Seniors would honour me in this fashion and, therefore, my appreciation is perhaps all the keener. I shall make it a point to attend some of your tournaments when business engagements wil] permit, and in any event, 1 shall be always greatly interested in their success.

CHARLES WELSH.’’ Mr. Sylvanus Pierson Jermain,, of Toledo, Ohio., the ‘‘father’’ of municipal golf in the West, and a director of the Western Golf Association, writes: : ‘*T wish to congratulate the Canadian Seniors’ Golf Association upon its most success ful formation. It has a notable personnel, and as the game of golf as a world-wide, pre eminent and profoundly beneficial institution im the realm of out-door sports, founded upon ‘the sense of fair play and honour,’ owes its wonderful growth and permanent high place to the Senior Golfers in all communities—these many thousands of men organizers and contrib uting golfers indeed have madeit possible, and the Seniors’ Golf Association idea is therefore ideally fitting.’’ The Chronicle, Rye, N. Y., in commenting on the formation of the Associa- | tion, says : He ‘“Mr. Horace L. Hotchkiss, founder of the Seniors’ Golf Tournament at the Apawamis Clu), which has now’ grown to be the Seniors’ Golf Association, had a fitting honour bestowed upon him recently, in his election as an honorary member of the Canadian Seniors’ Golf Associ tion, a new organisation formed in Canada, for the same purposes and under the same coni()- tions practically, as the Seniors’ Association of the United States. In discussing the matte’, Mr. Hotchkiss said: ‘As all Seniors are beyond the age of eligibility for war service, it is quite reasonal'e to expect that the interest in the game of golf will be sustained by them during the war, not only for the sake of the sport, but also to keep up the clubs for the sake of the boys ovr } there, who on returning with laurels of victory, will find that the Seniors have not neglect: some of the responsibilities belonging to the future.’ Speaking of his election as an honorary member of the Canadian Association, Mr, Hot: i kiss said: ‘All this is most agreeable and prepares the way for international competitio.s between the two associations.’ The election of Mr. Hotchkiss is not only a personal recognition of his prominence in ‘1° golf circles of the continent, but it is also an honour to the Apawamis Club, and one that 1s highly prized.’’ (= = ONIE c —

GOLF ON THE ROOF OF CANADA Dominion Government has taken over the Course at ‘Banff’? and is Enlarging it to 18 Holes.

By Don. Matheson.

T is a well authenicated fact that, almost under any and every condition, in the most unlikely situations, in every clime, and the most varied and variabli circumstances, the game of golf, due to its overwhelming fascination, its sus tained interest, and its never-ending, ever-changing vagaries, appeals to its vot aries, and the general public, as no other pastime does. Its unlimited attractions, its perpetual allurements, and all the other inseparable and irresistable influ- enees connected with the game, but only partially appreciated by those who do not engage in it, have attached to it a popularity which no other form of amuse

sae’ édcienaalliae© aeee

The Club House on the Banff Golf Course. ment enjoys. A great deal of the pleasure derived depends largely on the e cellence of the course and the greens, and to no little extent upon the enthusias of the players. A good course begets enthusiasm and a desire to excel, and whi the course is situated in a place where other attractions and conveniences a) to be had, its popularity is bound thereby to be greatly enhanced. Banff, situat in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, has in recent years become the most ce! brated summer resort in the Dominion, due much to its excellent golf cours Nowhere else in the West are the conditions necessary for good golf and t! enjoyment of natural beauties superior to Banff. The solum is good all overt course and the greens are superior to any that are to be found west of the Gre Lakes. On the other hand, it is impossible to find a course whose environme! are so magnificent and unique, surrounded as it is on every hand by mounta barriers rearing their stupendous peaks 10,000 feet into the clouds. The cour itself is 4,500 feet above sea-level where, as a certain wag exclaimed, someoft players are nearer heaven than ever they will be again. The flat on which t 80 Bune, 1918 CANADIAN GOLFER 81 e n u course is laid out is a splendid field for the geologist, entomologist and the natur o e

alist in general. It seems to have been, at a prior period of the world’s history, r e the bottom of a great lake until the Bow River changed its course by cuttinga

new channel through the escarpment which joined Mount Rundle to Tunnel ee Mountain, and emptied the lake through the Anthracite gorge, and the great flat was left high and dry as if it were nature’s specific intention to make if a mag nificent rendezvous for man to disport himself in company with bears, mountain sheep and goats, white-tailed or jumping deer, coyotes and Rocky Mountain eagles, all keeping at a respectful distanee, but at the same time grunting, bleat ing, jumping and sereeching as if indulging in sarcasm at the idiosyneracies of the seemingly erratic human beings on the course.

Eight years ago the nine-hole course was laid out by professional William Thomson, who, ever since, has devoted his whole attention to it and has brought it to the perfection so universally admired. Last year the management of the

With characteristic promptitude those responsible fo ‘th management ordered the course to be extended to eighteen holes, and work pWas begun at once. The new 9 holes extend eastward from the tee of the present ath hole through the valley and alongthe right Bank of the Bow River. The view mong the whole course is grand and picturesque. On the opposite side of the am r will be seen splendid columns of Hoodoos, standing like a regiment of hel gmeted warriors, which in certain shades of light appear again hugh stalagmites own up to a height of thirty feet. The new course has now been cleared of ees and roots, and every one of the new holes, without exception, has a physical

HE historical Quebee Golf Club was able to report a most sucecesstul season in 1917, with prospects for 1918 of the brightest This, the second oldest golf club on the continent, recently held its annual meeting and the oceasion was marked by a particularly able and compre hensive report from the Honorary Seeretary-Treasurer, Mr. George Van Felson, hstanding He was able to report an inerease of 29 in the total membership, notwit the splendid record of 64 members overseas, who are kept in good standing Herewith some extracts from the report: 7 ‘Your Board of Management were pleased to extend the hospitality of the Club to offi ers returning from the front in transit during their stay in Quebec; a mark of attention rreatly appreciated by several who took advantage of our offer This was also the case of a non-coms. and privates, members of other golf clubs.’’

/ Putting on the Fifth Green—Quebec Golf Club, Montmorency Falls.

Since the advent of the war, the absence at the Front of many of our most active and Sproticient members, as also the course being in the making, it was not advisable to play the Beelub competitions; but, owing to our present increased membership, and that several old timers hac come back, also that many of our new players had become adepts, several of the compe ‘o4u itions were successfully played, resulting as follows oe Gold Medal, H. Bosse, score 93-93-186; Silver Medal, Chas. Delgrave, score 8 7-14-73; aw atson Cup, Chas. Delgrave ; Second Cruiser Squadron, Geo. Parent; Hamilton Cup, A R7. M Seoulton, Farquaharson Smith Cup, F. Handsomebody; Silver Clock, E. L. Garneau; Sewell Meubilee Cup, W. S. Bennett. When Mr. Van Felson read the roll of honour of the members at the front, ose present all stood, and when the names of the gallant men who have ‘‘ gone est’’ were given out, they were received with a silent prayer for the repose of eir souls: The list is as follows:

Doull, Lt.-Col., died on home service; Lemesurier, G. W., Lt.. killed In Baetion; Laird, J. H., Lt., killed in action; Powell, C A., Major, killed in action ; Mtirling, R., Lt., killed in action; Seott, E., Lt., killed in action: Williams, J. J.. ut , killed in aetion ; Wright, C.

NOTES FROM NEW ENGLAND Special Correspondence, Mr. Brice S. Evans

Tim tournaments have been held so far in the New England District, The prizes are pewter cups, awarded bythe club that holds the event, and the entry fees are donated to the ambulances that the Massachusetts Golf Association 1s giving to the Red Cross. The opening tournament was held on the course of the Lexington Golf Club, and was an 18-hole medal affair. I. W. (Brick) Small, of Belmont Spring, took the best gross with an 80, with Parker Schofield and F. J. Wright, Jr., the school- boy champ, following closely with 81 and 82 respectively. The open tournament, held at Wollaston a week later, was a match play affair with an 18-hole qualifying round. James D. Standish, of Detroit, took the honours on the qualifying day, but, unfortunately, was obliged to leave for home shortly afterwards, thus devoiding the match play rounds of more or less interest, as Fred Wright, the ultimate winner, had no trouble in breezing through the field handily and defeating H. H. Holton, of Tedexo, in the final match. Great expectations were futured for the team of Ouimet and Gorton this season, representing Camp Devens, to replace the unconquerable Ouimet-Guil- ford pairof last year. Recently Gorton was transferred to another cantonment, and so the engagements previously made had to be cancelled. Gorton was formerly the crack player of the Brae Burn Country Club. F. G: Thayer, of Wollaston, carried awaythe low gross honoursat the two-day open affair held at the Woodland C. C., with an 81. The scoring was especially high owing to the strong winds that swept the course both days. F. J. Wright was second with an 83 in afield of over 150. One of our best golfers recently passed away at Saranac Lake, N.Y., in Dana J. P. Wingate, of the Winchester Club. He formerly was Captain of the Exeter Academy golf team, was secretary of and an important factor in thi Greater Boston Interscholastic Golf Association. The courses here, with the exception of Wollaston, which has exceptional soil, haveall been held back by the late spring and unusually hard winter, but th: warm weather of the past week augurs well for the resumption of the regula: putting greens before long. M. J. Brady, professional, of the Oakley C. C., has enlisted in the Nava! Reserve in California. On his way to join his forces, he stopped off at Detroit

i and played an exhibition match with J. D. Standish, Jr., former Wester: f T S champion. HOW TO TURN THE TRICK The Okikodosick Golf Club Gets Very Busy in the “Hole-in-One’”’ Competition The Secretary of the Okikodosick Golf Club writes the Editor: _ “Our Club subseribes for the “Canadian Golfer,’’ and the reading of the poems and t! editorial matter in that splendid publication has come to be one of the features of our month! a club meetings. A matter which has interested us very muchis the offer made by the‘Golfe: = of a free subscription to every player who this season succeeds in making a hole in o1 ae stroke. This very generous offer has proved most attractive to our members. At our mee ing in Maythis year Mr. Isaac Holdemup, chairman of our Grounds Committee, introduc 2 a motion to the effect that our number one hole, 125 yards in length, be reduced to thr : yards. In bringing forward this resolution, Mr. Holdemup explained that far too little atte a tion was devoted to putting by golfers in general, and that by making numberoneholevei a short, putting would be much encouraged, because anyone who missed the putt would come ba: ai 86

and putt over again, and not really start the round until number one had been holed out in one stroke. Needless to say, the motion was carried unanimously, and the members gave three rousing cheers for Mr. Holdemup, and for the ‘Canadian Golfer.’ As we have no grounds men the members have themselves turned in and completed the new hole, and believe me, no worm casts are permitted to intervene in that nine feet between the tee and the hole, Already forty-five of cur members have made the hole in one stroke and completed the round, thus qualifying for a free subscription from the ‘Canadian Golfer.’ Before the month is out we expect everyone of our members, including the Juniors, will be on the ‘*Canadian Golfer’s’’ mailing list. Needless to say that the ‘Golfer’s’ splendid offer has resulted in a great boom in the Royal and Ancient game in these parts. Wishing you every success and hoping that the ‘Canadian Golfer’ will also offer free balls next season. I remain, Yours truly, O. U. ROBBER, Sec., Okikodosick Golf Club. P.S. Since writing the above, twenty-three additional members have made number one hole in one stroke. You had better send our members copies of next month’s ‘Golfer’ by freight CHATHAM GETS INTO THE GAME Only City in Canada Without a Golf Course Sees the Error of its Ways. A despatch from Chatham, May 29th, says: ‘*Chatham is to have a golf club and a good course. A syndicate has been formed which has taken over an option on the 105 acres at the southerly limits of the city, known as the McGuigan estate. The deed goes into the hands of three trustees for the present. The Indian Creek Land Syndicate will own the land, and will prepare it as a golf course, and it will be leased to the Chatham Golf Club, which is now in the process of formation. Professional golf men are to come here to lay out the course. A building will be erected to be used tempor arily as a club house, and it will he part of the permanent clubhouse when that is opened. The men active in the affair are known, but are keeping their names quiet until all details are completed.’’ In connection with the above despatch, it #s rather interesting to note that Chatham has the rather unenviable distinction of being the only city in Canada which does not boast a golf course. Just before the war broke out, the Board of Trade and prominent citizens, recognizing that this was ‘‘bad advertising’’ for a place of some importance, took the question in hand and decided to put Chatham on the golfing map. Then «ame the world conflagration, and the project was abandoned. Now, however, at will be noted it has been revived to some purpose. George Cumming, the Toronto golf architect, has gone over the property and tells the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ that he can lay out a first-class 9 or 18-hole course. A city or town nowadays that does not boast a Golf and Country Club lags Buperfluous. Chatham is sensible to ‘‘get into the game,’’ even during war times Phe slogan, ‘‘Golf before business’’ is, of course, to be deeried. It’s only a funni isin, anyhow, but a little golf mixed up with business is an ideal combination Chatham can’t afford any longer to plough a lonely furrow as regards the Royal @nd Ancient game. That’s bad business both from an individual and municipal Stand point LABOUR PROBLEM AND THE EMPLOYMENT OF GIRLS S. REDMAN, the professional at the eighteen-hole golf course at Beaumaris, Muskoka, writes the ‘‘ Canadian Golfer’’ ‘«Just a line to let you know we are still ‘on deck’ and working awayfor the season, which is now opening here. We had a lot of rain during May, which somewhat handicapped us, but the weather gives promise of being better now, so we hope to have everything in good shape. We have put in the new green, which will make a very interesting mashie, thus mak ing complete eighteen holes without repeating. We have solved the labor problem by being pioneers in the employment of girls, and so far they have been eminently satisfactory. Have had some photos taken of the girls, but they will not be ready for this months’ issue; will forward them at an early date.’’ The Beaumaris Golf Club’s experiment in putting girls to work on the green and fairgreen is decidedly a novel one in this country, although in Great Britain, since the war, many a course has been kept in good shape by the women. The Muskoka experiment will be watched with keen interest indeed. Beaumaris, by the way, has a very fine, sporting course, which gives th« visitor to Muskoka a splendid test of golf. The amateur champion, Mr. George S Lyon, has the record for the links, a 67, and speaks in the highest terms of thx course and its upkeep. The club is managed by the Beaumaris Golf and Tennis Association, and the officers are largely prominent residents of Pittsburgh, Pa They are: President, W. R. Mellon, Secretary, G. B. Berger, Treasurer, J. H. Hill man, Jr., and Chairman of Green Committee, G. W. Willock.

The failure of the arteries is one of the IS LD tragedies of modern life. Men in the very prime of life, and in the midst of business activities, are suddenly cut off. In many TERIES cases the blow comes before they realize their condition. And what is the cause ? Most usually overeating and drinking, combined with too little bodily exercise. The blood becomes overloaded with poisons. The kidneys break down in an effort to filter the blood, degeneration

of the arteries takes place, an artery in the brain bursts, a clot is formed and paralysis results. Or it may be an artery in the heart that gives way and causes heart failure. And how is this condition to be avoided > By moderation in eating and drinking, and by keeping the liver, kidneys and bowels regular and active. If you do not get sufficient exercise to accomplish this, it is necessary to use such treatment as Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills. It is only by the action of these organs that the blood can be purified and the poisons removed from the system. In using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills you are not making any experiment, for they have no equal as a means of awakening the liver, kidneys and bowels to healthful activity. They prevent such serious troubles as hardening of the arteries, and thereby promote comfort and health and prolong life. One pill a dose. 25 cents a box, all dealers, or.
