ARDEER GOLF CLUB

The handicap competition for the captain’s prizes has now been completed.

In the first class Mr. Robert Adam and Mr. J. R. Motion were left to play for the first and second prize. Mr. Motion got a start of two holes from his opponent, but the latter, notwithstanding that Mr. Motion was playing a very fine game, carried off the match by three up and two to play.

In the second class the contest lay between Mr. William Law and Mr. T. M. Wilkie playing level. Mr. Wilkie, though very fortunate throughout the competition up to this point, had to take second place, Mr. Law defeating him by three up with two to play.

BOYS SENT TO A REFORMATORY

At a J.P. Court in the Town Hall, Ardrossan, yesterday two boys named SAMUEL TAYLOR and WILLIAM ANDERSON, were charged with contravention of the Trespass Act, in so far as they had been found in a brick kiln at Auchenharvie Brickwork on the previous evening. The boys were old offenders and had no home.

Taylor was sent to prison for 10 days, thereafter to be sent to a reformatory for three years. Anderson was sent to prison for the same period and to a reformatory for four years.

Hi, PT and Irene,

thanks for this. The brickworks was beside the bridge which went under the Caley railway at the end of Moorpark Road West. That would be where the golf-course is today.
As we often say on here, 'every day is a schoolday.'
JD.
