BUNKERS-£1367.

REMARKABLE BALANCE-SHEET.

For the magnitude of tlio figures and tlio extent of golfers' enthusiasm indicated by them tlio report just issued by tho Mid-Surrey Golf Club, on whose course at Richmond there is more play than on arty other in tho world, is easily a record. The year's income, derived chieflj from the subscriptions of more thaii a thousand members, comes to £7614 a record in itself. Entrance fees amount to £1329, locker rents £2lB, and green fees £607. All,this money and £6O besides has been spent on the club and course. There would have been a balance, as on previous occasions, but for the heavy expenditure on completing tho now system of bunkers which has done so much to improve the course and has attracted attention all over the country. Jn tho ordinary course £1761 has been paid in wages to the men who work on the ground, and in addition £1367 on bunkering pure and simple.'
