Was a Fine Course.

Donald Brian, the musical comedy star, gleefully chuckled the other night when the conversation in a theatrical club turned to golf. He said he was reminded of an incident that happened at a country club in New England. One day a member of the club was entertaining a friend, and after considerable persuasion induced him to take a turn at golf. The friend was just about as familiar with the game as a golden harp tuner is with a blacksmith tongs, and naturally the fuss he made was certainly some show. 1 In trying to make a brassle shot he tore up considerable turf, which struck him fairly in the face. Thiahappened twice, and just at that moment another club member approached. “Mr. Jones," he said, as the visitor paused to scrape his complexion, “what do you think of our course?" “It’s fine!" was the prompt response of the visitor. “As a matter of fact, I think it is the very best I have ever tasted.”—Philadelphia Telegraph.
