[August 1, 1916. 



Rubber Club of America Outing. 



M KM HERS of the Rubber Club of America, Inc., were in 

 a state of preparedness for at least 60 days prior to July 

 18 — preparedness for the outing of the club scheduled 

 for that date. Reports were rife that every wielder of a golf 

 club was working every Saturday as well as every spare evening 

 as long as it was light enough to see a golf ball, and it is 

 intimated that some of them painted these balls with phosphores- 

 cent material in order to prolong their practice. It was the 

 same way with tennis players, swimmers and quoit pitchers. .\11 

 were practicing in order to capture some of the handsome 

 prizes the club was sure to offer in the contests. 



The time, as stated above, was July 18, all day and part of 

 the night. The place. Vesper Country Club, Tyng's Island, on 

 the Merrimac River, near Lowell, Massachusetts. It is doubtful 

 if a more suitable place could be found in any one of a ckr/.en 

 states. Those who attended the outing there last year knew
