The age of the globular cluster Lindsay 113 is 4 or 5 Gyrs, depending on the SMC distance modulus. The metallicity is estimated at (M/H) = -1.4. This age is consistent with the upper limit determined from the luminosity of a carbon star at the tip of its asymptotic giant branch. A second probable carbon star member is identified.
