CAMBRIDGE.

Dear Bee, May 2. On Wednesday'afternoon the CAMBRIDGE GOLF CLUB had a most successful opening day. There was a large and representative gathering. The new entrance to the links was used, and was much appreciated. The club house has been moved and added to since last season. The ladies’ committee, Mesdames Edmunds, Bunyard, and Miss Wells, had made excellent arrangements for the tea, which was provided by the lady members of the club. The floral decorations on the tea table were arranged by Miss Wells. Mr. A. H. Nieoll, the hon. see., was very energetic in seeing that everyone anxious to play had a game. The president (Mr. J. Anderson), in his speech, wished the club a successful season, and declared the links open. He then drove off the first ball in the mixed foursomes, his partner being Miss Kathleen Willis. Their opponents were Mrs. A. J. Edmunds and Mr. R. J. Roberts, and the match resulted in a tie.
