GOLF.
Something new in the way of blinkers and hazards was experienced last week on a country golf course. The club is indebted to a pair of prominent farmers for the use of their paddocks as a course, and in the field where the first hole is played graze a-number of prize Shorthorn cattle. The shot from the first tee was a good one, but on going on to play again neither the hitter nor his partner could locate the ball. The herd was peacefully chewing the caid, and gave no indication of anything amiss. Another ball was produced and the game progressed until the spot was again visited, masticating something round and white aroused suspicions. A stern chase was set up, and the cow, evidently thinking discretion the better part of valour, dropped the missing ball. The contingency had not been allowed for in the rules, and members are wondering what the exact position is.
