GOLF IS NOT AN AMUSEMENT

Baldwin in the circuit court, at Chicago recently, is a “beneficial recreation rather than an aniusement.” The decision frees Mary A. Condon, as executrix of the eSthte of John Sondon, owner of the old Harr letn race track, from paying an annual amusement license fee of $750 a year for the public golf llpks which now adorns the former racing park.
