Members are requested to be on the groufid early to-morrow in order to play for the June medals. Men will play eighteen holes, ladies twelve. Attention is drawn to the new, rule Regarding lifting of a ball. A'ballVmay be lifted out of rough grass or ground, but must not be teed up or placed in the field. It may be dropped on any clear ground. Picking away > from fences is also allowed. The boundaries consist of all fences on the right of the fairways and those directly beyond any greens. A ball hitting a fence round a ground when played from within a distance of twenty yards must be played again -from the same spot, but without penalty. The penalty forgoing out of bounds is one stroke, and another must, he played from the same pla -o as from which the boundary ball was played. For example should, the first ball off the tee go out of bounds; a second must be driven from -the tee and counted as the second stroke. Members are requested to read up rules relating to lost ball and to a ball striking the flag pin from within twenty yards.

Quite a number of members are looking forivard to thy day when a player Avill accomplish this feat. Players Avill be paired for to-mor-ioav’s medal match.
