thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Harris and | the. Messrs. Harris brothers for their geneosity in giving them the use of i such excellent country for a golfing course. The links ' had improved out of all knowledge during the first season, thanks largely to the consistent work of the club captain, Mr. Stevenson and his committee, who were always keen to further the interests of the club and of the sport generally. They had spared no effort in making the position as sound as it was. “We have, too,” he added, “the best secretary we could wish, Mr. R. Treweek, a man who has given yeoman service at all times.” He congratulated the first champions of the club, Mrs. Robertson and D.

The president had done a tremop do us amount o;f work and was largely responsible for the harmonious relations subsisting in the club, difficulties always being liable to arise in any now club. All, however, had worked well together and the result had been that a great success had been secured.
