LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, 8ATURDAY, MAY 10, 1902
ESTABLISHED IN 1886
FOR BRAIN WORKERSA HAVEN
Diversion for Care-Worn Office, Professional or Business Men
at the Golf Links, Tennis Courts and Shaded
Grounds of the Lincoln Country Club, A and Twenty-Seventh
Up with the violets comes the an
nual zeal for golf. For six months lit
tle or nothing has been doing on the
links of the Country club. Now the
rains have brought out the green of
the grass and with the few touches
that will be administered, the immense
expanse will soon be in splendid trim
for the gaily patterned figures who
delight to sport with the gutta perclia
balls.
Since June 1st, 1900, the Country
club has grown steadily and rapidly.
Its popularity was instantaneous, but
knot of the kind that bespoke for Itself
a mushroom existence and then a sud
den collapse. It was not ill considered
and when it made its presence known
it was come to stay. From a member
ship of rieas then flftylt rose to the at -talnment
of nearly a hundred by last
fall at the closing of the season. With
the opening this spring a surprisingly
large influx of new members has been
noted and the outlook could not be
more piomising.
Not only has It enlarged its roster,
but it has broadened its scope. Here
tofore limited to golf, it now boasts
three of the finest tennis courts in the
west, laid out at a cost of $200. Shoot
ing traps, too, will soon have a place
ar.d opportunity will thus be afforded
to sportsmen of a versatile taste for
at least three varieties of pastime.
But the end is not yet.
Improvements have been added to
the club house, that cosy structure
nestling in the trees of the upland over
looking the whole field. A locker, for
instance, is one of them. It is an In
dependent building close by, to be used
as a dressing room and where shower
baths will be possible. A new arrange
ment in the club house proper provides
a-dlrilnjj'rooni, where lunchwand'dln
ners will be served by Mr. and Mrs.
Dybro. whose services have been se
cured for this year. If golf does noth
ing else it makes Its devotees hungry.
A good appetite Is pretty sure evidence
of good health. The need of the din
ing room has long been felt and it will
no more be an aggravating want. Mr.
Dybro Is an experienced man on the
green and Is guaranteed to keep the
field in trim not to be surpassed.
He will be ably assisted by nature.
As a matter of fact the links, situated
as they are with the boundary of A
street on the south. Twenty-seventh
street' on the east and Twenty-third
on the west, are the handsomest and
most aptly formed natural links in the
west. Nobody denies it, and many play
ers have tried their skill on it who have
tested them all. The course is of nine
holes, skinned greens, with the longest
hole 360 yards and the shortest 120
yards. Fully thirty acres make up the
field, cleft In two nearly at the centei
by a ravine that contributes, ar jlentl--ful
array of natural hazards.
Of all the events that were ever
billed for the links the one scheduled
for the last of this month will stand
supreme. This is the grand Inter
state tournament beginning May 26th
and lasting six days. There will be
three days of golf, three of shooting
and three of tennis, arranged to fit the
six days by the process of lapping.
That Is, on several of the days two
classes of sport will be In progress
simultaneously. In money and medals
and souvenirs the prizes will be many
and valuable. Visitors and sportsmen
from far and near over the country nie
expected to be present.
This will not be the only event of the
year, however. As during last seasons,
match games will be played with reg
ularity. Once a week at least team
contests will excite the Interest and
raise the temperature of participants
and witnesses. In this team work, shies,
are chosen, one might say as in a
spelling match.- The dinners thai will,
be staked on the result this year will
have the native relish of club house
production. Many games, too, will be
played with other state clubs, such as
that of Omaha and the western or
ganizations, among them Hastings
Holdrege and York.
