Distinguished keepers of the British Museum take it in turn to guard the great building. Two or three times a year they disappear from their homes and go into retreat into one of the wings of the museum, where the trustees provide apartments, servants, and a housekeeper to attend to their wants. “If we can’t play our golf—a game that is supposed to be played by gentlemen—without having to resort to disgn esting raffles and the devices used by some clubs, then we ought to be ashamed of ourselves,’’ remarked a member of the New Plymouth Golf Club indignantly (reports the ‘Taranaki Herald”), when it was suggested at the annual meeting the other day that the club should considei going in with some other sports bodies of the town and organising a big art union as a means of providing funds to pay off its overdraft. “There is too much talk about finance and not enough about golf in this club,” he added, and his sentiments were received with popular acclamation.
