Light refreshments were served in a marquee on the ground, and both the President and Mrs Struthers were unremitting in their .attention to their guests. The weather was beautiful, and the green, with its borders of flowers and judiciously-arranged pot plants, looked excedingly pretty. The green played very keen, being in fine order.
