Without question, the water car- il nival and ncipm'tic sports. arranged p tn take place next Saturday, under v. the nu piccs of the Baysiile Civic •« Association, promises to be the it outstanding feature of the season, 1 as far nfi Ocean City is concerned. g Ocean " City has accomplished it great things during this year, in C the waj of civic cntenirise. It is h _ ? iiuitter of debate however, if any j achievement will give so much pub- 1 1, llrit.v to Ocean City, as a place of t recreation and amusement,, a* this j c carnival. Aud in the last analysis ji: in order to bring prosperity to ajc vacation resort, the people oT other \ localities must tie convinced, that j 1 jirndtlition to beautiful, health giv-jy init surroundings, this resort has , d full ami ample recreation nnd 1 r amusement for its guests. This is ■ p the feature which has contributed t mi l to the -Success of Atlantic • j City, and made it the playground : a of the world.

become daily more evident c the promoters of the Ocean Country Club are determined c achieve the acme of perfection, i all their plans and projects. j Having seaured a locale for the - proposed jfoi^eourse, declared by experts to-be unsurpassed by Any ( the country, the next logical i step was to secure the services, of i first class golf architect. t A good architect did not measup to the ambitions of the pro- , motors. Nothing would do but the i and in accord with that de- , termination, they have secured the ■ services of Willie Park, the Dean , 1 of Golf Architects, a player who i held the world's championship for j ( years 1RR7-18WI ,and ^in , authority of international fame, | , 1 Golf-course construction. - Willie Park is a prolific j , writer upon the game of golf, and ! the author of the standard work the art "putting." During the many years Willie Park has been engaged in golf (construction, he has traveled prnc- ! all over the United States, ! continent of Europe,- and CanThere are courses of .his construction in fifteen states in the Union, courses in England, Wales, Irelgnd, France, Denmark, Au-trailia, Austria, and varother parts of the world. Willie Parke's golf courses nre; admittedly the ne plus ultra of excellence in every respect. In fact ! eminent golf architect has a 1 reputation to maintain, and could ; not afford to undertake the con- 1 struction of a course which would - the least degree detract from j prestige and fame. In all Wil-1 Park lias laid out 175 golf] By a strange coincidence, when j booklet containing the names; and the localities of the various1 golf grounds, V^illie Park has con- j structed came' ibto our hands, we ; ' discovered that there were seven of i with which we were wl! nc- j - quainted.

Mr. Travis, and the other fam- ' ou< .golfers, bear the same testii my concerning this artist of j * genius unsurpassable, in the con- i i struction of a golf course. . _ Obviously, wirh the rapid devel-l ' opment* taking place in the golf ! worid, the services of such an j ' ardiitect arc difficult and expensive secure, so large is the demand. "sl His time has been bespoken far ahead by club* who prefer, as the ' Ocean City Country Club pro- 1 £ motors felt they would prefer, to 1 wait rather than accept the best j I substitute for Willie Park. i ° 1 Fortunately Willie Park is in j Ocean City, prepared to conccn- 1 * 1 : trate into the course under con- ' • j struction. all the expert knowledge • gained through his long years of 1 ' : | experience. 1 In passing however, in ease no 1 one else whispers it into Mr. Park's * ear, we might remind him. that the :•* 1 Eighteenth Amendment has passed e f and become law; therefore thcrcjf' ' will bf no nineteenth hole to the' • course now under construction. 1 Willie Park has made his pre- * ' liminary survey of the grounds at Somers Point, and has pronounced • it everything desirable. The contour of the ground Is 0 " ideal, with all the required hazards « which constitute the fascination in;' <• 1 the game, the locale of the course J -liswel' sheltered IrVn excessive- 1 tj.v'nd*. and the soil pre-eminently ' tjrdaptable for the cu'tivation of 1 ! golf turf., - | This all fanned by the salubrious , 1 'I ! breezes of the sea. and in view of ; i n j the fineUt bay on the coast. ' - j The expert architect is enthused f over the project to the highest de- ! ' jgree. « n | It is the universal opinion enter- i • i tained by all interested, that the • | one thing needed to complete th? ( - [ prosperity and ensure the future t •" ; progress of Ocean C'ty, is a first • f class golf cours*. t :*| It is highly gratifying therefore 1 | to know that Ocean City will have 1 '• such an acquisition, if it has the ; I " | foresight and enterprise to grasp j I the opportunity, MM- the lie ginning j of the next seasorn ' I e- It is highly gratifying to learn |i ,f moreover, than a player of so wide j ( ;s.u fame, and an architect of wider i ,f celebrity, has pronounced the site i ,n in every respect ideal, and that the course will be constructed under i his direct supervision.
