LATEST LOCAL CATARAQUI GOLF THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG SPORTING CLUB OFFICIALS ~~ LOOKING TO GOOD SEASON Fifteen Holes Will Be In Play This Year--Full Coarse Nearly Completed--Grounds Improvements And Tennis Courts Added to Facilities. With the local 1923 golfing sea son in its infancy, the Cataraqul Golf and Country Club has every reason to be optimistic over its outlook for the season. Since its organization this club has one ahead by leaps] and bounds and itis safe to say that its success has more than surpassed the expectations of the founders and charter members. Every season sees the membership list, including the new memberships permitted yearly, filled and a long list of applicants on the waiting list and this vear's quota totalling 375, is almost full. T. J. Rigney, K.C., president of the club and Frank Smythe, secre- tary, are both very enthusiastic over the 1923 outlook. Good committees have been selected to look after all branches of the club's activities and a live and energetic board of diree- tors is at the head of the organiza- tion. Speaking to a member of the Whig staff Mr. Rigney said: 'Last year's showing was really a surprise to us and was very gratifying to the members. We look for even better conditions this year." Following the resignation of Mr. Newman, it became necessary to 'se- cure a new professional and the club has been very fortunate in securing Mr. Robert Cunningham, who comes to Kingston with an enviable reputa- tlon both as golfer and instructor. Ford Nicholson has again received the appointment as assistant pro. and groundsman and it is expected that Stewart Campbell will resume his duties with the club again this year. 2 The dining room service inaugur- ated last year was at first consider- ed merely in the nature of an ex- periment but it proved such a suc- | cess and was so great a convenienca {last season that this year it will be | recessaty to make an enlargement {on the dining room and kitchen quar- | ters and equipment. This will be undertaken on the northwest side of the club-house, out of view of tha road, and will be so designed as not to detract at all from the symmetri- cal outline of the building, but will, if anything, add to its beauty. The grounds about the club- house have been greatly improved and starting with a beautiful drive- way from the Front Road into the and beautified in a manner that will make this beauty spot one of the most attractive scenes in the coun- try. Tennis, that long neglected sport fn Kingston, will be aided greatly by the club in a very short time. It is the intention to lay out courts in the little valley directly in front lof the club house, an admirable place [where the progress of games and the everchanging scemes on the courts may be viewed from the veranda This plan mill be enthusiastica'ly received by many of the club mem- bers for Kingston, in spite of the fact that it harbors many devotees of tennis, ds greatly good courts. During the season the usual dances and entertainments will be in progress at the club's headquar- ters. An understanding has becn reached with the Kingston Yacht Club and {it is proposed to hold the Yacht Club dances and those of the Golf Club on alternate weeks, with one each fortnight by each club.

Eighty ani- mals were registered for sale re- cently at the close of the annual fashionable horse show in ers. A stallion offered through the Rhenish- Westphalian Association for Breeding of Cold-Blooded Stock went for 19,600,000 marks (or near- ly $1,000) the highest sale of the auction.
