Inventor of and apparently chief investor in this new industry is Garnet Carter, the mild, easygoing, drawling owner of Fairyland Inn on Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. About a year ago Mr. Carter did what many a U. S. hosteler had done in the past-installed a miniature putting course on his lawns. Finding guests used this more than they did his $340,000 regular course, he made improvements. Tunnels, bunkers, miniature traps were added. Then he invented a putting green made of cotton seed hulls, sure to wear long and well...
Guests saw the course, paid Mr. Carter to build others in their home cities. The U. S. asked him to design one for a District of Columbia park. At this point a great idea came to the Master of Fairyland Inn. He patented his special greens, the name "Tom Thumb Golf." Patents for his hollow log hazard and other features are pending.

Subsequent activities, which include robbery, violent quarreling, gunfire, are sometimes burlesqued, sometimes played "straight," never consistently acted. Once Actor Cohan comes down to the footlights and soliloquizes to the effect that everyone in the world is an actor, that he alone is a spectator, that some day he will meet the Great Author. Spectators take this to be in dead earnest, applaud loudly. Sole orthodox comic part is played by Joseph Allen in the role he created...
...Harvard Club seems assured of a final first place in the class C series, after whitewashing the Walkover Club of Brockton on Saturday. The Lincoln's Inn players, in second place, are reasonably secure, but if the Union Boat Club team continues as vulnerable as the Freshman found them, they may cede their third place to the Crimson C players...
