CLUB HOUSE OF THE COUNTRY CLUB AT BROOKLINE. 



fashioned game of bowls, the umpire being Mr. Patterson. As 

 might be expected, the Canadian member, Mr. McGill, proved 

 himself to know more about the game than any of the others, 

 and won, the score being 30. While the bowling was at its 

 height two baseball nines were organized, W. E. Parker being 

 the captain of one which was known as the " Big Bluffs,'' while 

 F. D. Balderston was captain of the " Little Bluffs," with James 

 L. Garvin for umpire. The following were the players :

Three innings were played, the 

 score being 2 to 2. The game was 

 full of interesting plays and mar- 

 velous decisions, and character- 

 ized by a series of failures to catch 

 high flies and to hit low balls, that 

 convulsed the on lookers. 



While the ball game was in pro- 

 gress the Boston Herald sent a 

 very courteous representative, 

 Mr. R. F. Hall, with a special 

 photographer, who desired to get 

 a likeness of the officers of the 

 Club. None of the directors were 

 to be found, but the rest of the 

 active officers grouped themselves 

 on the steps of the clubhouse,

and, sustained by encouraging and admiring comments of a 

 jolly crowd, passed safely through the ordeal. A little later, 

 golfers, ball players, bowlers, and all who could be quickly 

 gathered, arranged themselves on a knoll and a very good 

 picture of the majority ol those present was secured by 

 Photographer Chickering. About 5.30 the showers that had 

 been promised came, and the Dinner committee were saved 

 the trouble of rounding up the scattered members for the even- 

 ing's banquet. The dinner was one of the best that the Club 

 has yet had, and embraced the menu presented on this page. 



The tables were very tastefully decorated, the orchestra 

 playing familiar selections while the Club dined, and the mem- 

 bers joining heartily in singing many of the popular favorites. 

 After the cigars and coffee, the president, Governor A. O. 

 Bourn, called the feasters to order and displayed the golf 

 prizes, which had been placed on the table just in front of 

 him. These were four very beautiful black oak steins 

 trimmed with solid silver, made by "the Tiffany of Bos- 

 ton," N. G. Ward & Sons- 

 three of them being for 

 members of the club and 

 one for visitors. The follow-
