A GOLF STORY.
A curious incident is reported from St. Jean de Luz. Mr David Scott and 11. Carlos de Candaino were playing a niatcli a few days ago on the Nivelle golf liuks. Both had driven on to the second greeu, and were walking towards the Bole wheu a crow swooped down, picked up Mr Scott's ball, and flew away with it. The players had nearly reached the green, when a second crow picked up 51. de Oandamo's ball and made off in the direction of a neighbouring tree. Pursued by the goliers and caddies the bird dropped the ball, but pounced down and secured it again while the pursuers were still 50 yards away. Neither ball was seen again by the owner.
