Interfering with others' sports is a human failing. A fisherman who .did not know a mashio from n niblick, or a green from a fairway, wns talking-to a t golfer the other day about golf (says tho Sydney "Sun").- He had seen the game from a distance only, and it seemed to him to be what the old Balgowloh coachman described it as'playing marbles with a long stick. "You could improve the golf gamo a lot," ho said. "Yes," replied tho golfer. "Its effects on human morality could be improved on wet days by gagging the players." "I dou't mean that," said the "VViiltonian. "I mean it wants speeding up. You people make a great mistake in trying to get round in as few strokes as possible, and . beating o bogeyman. All the competitors slTould start at once froni scratch, and the ono who gets round in the shortest time should win the prize I'd let each one carry a spade to clear away the stones, an axo to chop out obstacles they couldn't dig out, and I'd employ hounds to find the ball." "Yes," said the golfer, "and open -the nineteenth hole after 6 p.m. You might as well complete the revolution."»
