Tbe Field club has given a special Invitation for
this evening, and the great gathering of amateur
sportsmen will be royally entertained all around.
Thursday evening will occur the annual banquet,
at tbe Country club. The exact program Is being kept
under cover for the present, except that the banquet
will be served in the open air. weather permitting,
and 410 people are expected to ait at the tables. I.
must suffice at this time to say that the arrange
meats for this ban q Bet, are unique and cannot fan
to make a solid hit with the participants. A. V.
Kinaler has this feature in charge, as head of the en
tertainment com mitt, and from the manner ia which
he is "covering up" one gets the idea it ts to be a
memorable event In the history of the association,
and likely to make an Impression that will cause
Omahs to bs talked of by visitors for soms time.
Each club entering tor ths tournament pays a fee
of 110 and each man playing pays a fee ot If. A
great many Omaha men will psy the entrance fee who
tfo not expect to play, and from thse sources come
ths money to defray the expenses of the entertain
ment to bs provided. In any event, there is to be ao
stint la ths matter of expense to make everybody
happy and glad he cams. Attending tournament of
this character are a great many who do so for the
social pleasures. These do not come particularly to
play, but as s sort of vscation trip during which they
can relax and cut loose for pure enjoyment amid con
genial surroundings and at the same time have aa op
portunity to watch their favorites chase the flying
whits balls ta strenaoas temper. And here It may be
said every golfer worth his salt Insists golf balls do
fly; that they possess some peculiar quality of es
thetic, fairylike Quality entirely different from any
association, aal it ta Bfltrtood some modest noise- thing propelled by man power.
