A Scotch golfer of twenty years' standing writes to the ' Daily News ':—" I am greatly pained to hear the name of the royal and ancient game habitually mispronounced by novices in England, who persist in sounding the letter 'l' in the word, although on every green from John o' Groats to Airlio it remains silent in the mouth of player and caddie alike. It would be us correct to accentuate the 'l' in ' calf' or 'half'as in'golf. 5 " Duke George of Saxe-Meiningen, in the thirty-eight yeara of his reign, has never allowed a death sentence to be carried out.
