the
Monday evening. The
will be a battle royal as the bened
icts are determined that the single
men are not going to hang the sign
“Has-Beens” onto them. On the oth
er hand the young fellows who have
not experienced the state qf matri
monial bliss are determined that
youth will be served. The games
have not been well advertised con
sequently many fans have missed
the fast playing as well as the ready
repaxTee that floats over the dia
mond. The single men strengthen
ed their team Monday by adding a
new heavy-hitting out-fielder in the
person of James Morley, while the
married men had a complete new
outfield. The old-timer Geo. An
derson called the balls and strikes.
The married men scored „ the first
run in the first innings and three

EXETER’S NEW GOLF COURSE
One of the, most popular golf
courses ever laid out is to be found
on the farm of Mr. Earl Parsons on
the banks of the rivex* just north of
of the fairgrounds. The course was
first laid out as a three hole course
and it has now been increased to
eight. Ardent devotees of the sport
are to be found on the coux'se every
day the weather is fine and the
players hardly take time to eat. Cad
dies are plentiful and because of the
crowd that frequents the course the
word “Fore” vibrates through the
air continuously at times. The
course is something new for sport-’
lovers .of Exeter, and time, these
days is no object .to the followers of
the game. Morning and afternoon
and every day of the: week the town
is fairly deserted so enthusiastic are
the players. One peculiarity of the
course is that it' is strictly confined
to the male sex. There is no toler
ation. of the female sex. As far as -
they are concerned it is strictly ta
boo, The course belongs to the.
boys. They have laid it out in the
field just north of the grandstand.
Improvised golf sticks of all sorts
showing great ingenuity on the part
of the boys are to be found on the
course. Wc asked one of the boys
“Who plays?” and the answer was
“All.the kids!” Some of them are
pretty big, too.
FELL FROM APPLE TREE
Mr. William Russell, an elderly
resident of town, fell from an apple
tree at his home on Wednesday of
last week. His injuries are not as
serious as -was at first suspected. It
was feared that several ribs had.
been broken. Mr. Russell was en
deavoring to shake some early ap
ples from a tree and in some man
ner lost his hold and he fell several
feet to the ground. He was able to
get to his feet after a few minutest
and reach the house where he sum
moned help. Dr. Fletcher was call-*
ed and rendered medical aid.
COMMUNICATION
the Editor of the Exeter Times-
Advocate.
Deai' Sir:—.
In last week’s Times-Advocate
there appeared an announcement of
the Horticultural Society not having
a flower’ show this year. Now it is.
really too bud that this announed-
«Lment appeared since, at our Febru
ary meeting it was unanimously vot/
ed that we would have one this year
as we had none last yeai- and fur
thermore our President
thorough inquiry a couple of weeks
ago of those interested and it was
then stated in the Times we would
have one. Now it appears there
was a meeting of the directors last
week to make preparation for same,
but on the evening of the meeting
there were at least five of our direc
tors out of town or holidaying hence
the meeting was poorly attended
and tho few who did attend took it
on themselves to throw it out on ac
count of directors not taking any in
terest in the show, Now as a di
rector' and one who takes a keen
interest in our Society I think it
throws quite a reflection on the di
rectors of our Society who so un
animously wted for the show. And
also it is a real disappointment to
the public at large, who have been
looking forward to the event which
was cancelled by a couple who wore
at the meeting.
