A past president who served the club well for manv years, .l.A Bentley, reviewed the history of the club from its founding. recall- ing the names of many who have devoted their time and their labour to its establishment. He de- scribed the old club house and noted the many improvements which have been made in building the new one. a step which has been contemplated by the mem- Izers for many years.

The racket which was used by King Edward VII when he. played here will also be presented to the :lub at a later date.

Lieutenant Governor T W. 1- Prowse declared the club house of- ficially open -- and remarked that he had had few duties more pleas- ant to perform than to officiate ar. the opening of such a fine build- mg, a worthy addition to the club which has provided enjoyment for so many over a long period of years.

told man weather certainly didn't give various sporting ac- tivities much of a break over the week-cnd .when golf, Old Home Week racing. tennis and base- ball were all rained out. The racing was the hardest hit of all when a full day's racing on Satur- day suffered the same fate asthat

of the preceding day to cut the gala week of five nights and three afternoons of racing to only

three nigliis and two afternoons, a total of five complete programs out of a scheduled eight. What made it even tougher for racing officials than for the other rain- ed-out sporting features is the fact that they lose the opportun- ity of making it up on a future

Moi-rie Martin stopped th: Yanks with seven hits and the A's clinched the verdict with a nine-run seventh inning compiled on seven hits, two walks, a hit nat- tor and two Yankee errors. It was the biggest inning against the Yanks in many years.
