Bransford have gone East. Dean Eddie has gone to Scotland to spend the summer. Lieut. McConnell gives a picnic on Monday. Miss Geddes has returned from the East. Miss Katherine Kanters has gone East. Mr. Jack Royle has returned. Golf. Long drives are becoming the rule rather than the exception these days. Where formerly a 200-yard 200-yard drive would be regarded as phenomenal, it is now a common occurrence. Mr. Holman makes no secret of the fact that he recently drove 250 yards. The advantage of having a first-class teacher like Leonard is shown in the improvement of the game of a number of the older players, as well as the beginners. Leonard is a master of the approach ap-proach shot, which is always impprtant, but on the local links is practically the deciding shot of the game. Mr. A. W. Copp, winner of the championship last season, got decidedly the best of the match in Denver last Wednesday. The tennis court at the club is now in first-class first-class condition, the golf was side tracked for sev- ' eral hours during the recent tennis tournament Mr. Thompson proved himself as handy with the inflated sphere as with the gutta percha, and carried car-ried off the honors for the gentlemen, while Miss Salisbury did the same for the ladies. The play of Mrs. Masters was exceptionally brilliant. Most of the officers of Fort Douglas have become be-come members of the Country club, and will doubtless doubt-less prove a factor to be reckoned with by the crack players in the championship games later in the season. The powerful muscles for the long shots, and the well trained eye for the short ones, give the West Pointer a good equipment to work on. |
