VANISHING GOLF BALLS.
A MYSTERY SOLVED. Where were the golf balls going to': asks the Elthani Argus. Elthnm and New Plymouth players scratched their skulls for an elucidation of the mystery during their week-end match. The teams met, at Waiwakniho. Between the 11th and 12th holes nearly every player bemoaned the loss of a golf ball. The lupin-covered hill seemed to swallow them up. Several players watch another drive ihi' ball over the hill. They followed, but the ball was missing. Tln;y watched another player drive over the hill, and from the lupins' two boys scampered out, picked up the bull and ran for shelter.- The golfers made an "arrest.” The boys hud u bag of about 40 bulls! The mystery had been solved. And the police, it is understood, will do the rest.
When plat ing F. Quin, in the final of the championship, A. Smith drove over the hill. He could not find the bull. He lost the stroke. Ultimately Quin beat Smith 3 up and 1. And golfers now say tliul Smith 10-r not only his ball at the lupin-covered bill, but also his championship. Smith, they report, holds that view.
