CARNOUSTITIEI , ) "WILLIAM CiESAR, Rowanbank, \Sccretary. CARNOUSTIR, FROM THE DUNDEE ADVERTISER of Thursday, 2ith. March 1892. (FROM THEIR LADY CORRESPONDENT). 1HIS is a generation which loves fresh air, and has the distinction of being more devoted to exercise than have been any of its pro- doeosaors. Any project, therefore, which deals with the securing of fresh air by tho conservation of open spaces appeals with peculiar force to tho public mind, and so it comes that hundreds of people who are quite inno- cent of the mysteries of "driving," "putting," or "teeing," look with sympathetic interest on the fortunes of the Car- noustie Golf Links Bazaar, which opens to-day in the Kin- naird Hall. As is well known to all men, the people of Carnoustie with great public spirit recently acquired the Links in order to preserve them in perpetuity as a place of public resort—not to speak of their attraction for that valuable nomad the summer visitor. Now, in order to raise the balance of the purchase money, as well as to form a fund 10 for Linka improvement, a huge bazaar haa been organised, in which a very great number of people are interested both at home and abroad. The enterprise may be said indeed to be almost cosmopolitan in its character, for every quarter of the globe haa been laid under contribution to furnish forth the richly-laden stalls. From India, Japan, and the " gorgeous East" generally, from Australia, South Africa, and America, the wandering Scot has sent of hia substance to preserve this precious stretch of green sward by the silvery Firth of Tay. The fitting up of the Kinnaird Hall haa been skilfully managed by Mr John Ronald, the hall-keeper. The stalls are of novel device, with gracefully curved outlines, and draped with art muslin of various soft colourings ; and the platform has been made to look quite decorative by meanB of Ho. I.
