There is likelihood that another

Espert Willie Dunn Enthusiastic.
Willie Dunn. the expert exponent of
golf matters. has been in South Nor-
waik on two occasions recently. in com
ference with R. H. Golden and B. Bur-
chard..and the extensive property of
the latter. at Wilson’s Point. has been
selected as the most advantageous
place on which to locate links. Mr.
Dunn was enthusiastic over this site.
as the land is admirably adapted by
natural conditions. has a beautifu‘
shore front. is easily accessible by trol-
ley or railroad. and yet is so secluded
that there will be nothing to mar the
sport of the participants.
Mr. Dunn states that there is ample
room on this vast property for ladies’
and gentleman's links. and he found
that eighteen holes could be readily
located, providing a fine course. and
one that would be eagerly sought by
the golf enthusiasts of the country.
Clubs Kay Combine.
Golicinbs are meeting with success
in outer places and there is apparently
no reason why Nor-walk should not
have one of the largest and best in
the state. The suggestion has been
made that the present blot-walk Golf
Club be merged with the new organi-
zational soon as matters are satisfac-
torily arranged.

halves were of the fastest kind of base

was thoroughly appreciated by the

chairman for the celebration and
George R. Barnum was chosen perma-

points to a most successful one as all
are enthusiastic over the matter and
the support of the‘whole church will
be given the committee. The chair-
men of the four committees represent-
