There was considerable pressing while playing the li Ist live holes; l.m when more upon and less difficult country was readied the pairs wasted very I'ttle time. There was a lack of caddies, many of the competitors having t -, carry their own bags. There should Imvo been very little difficulty in arranging the matter. Hound about the loth green (Spionkop) is a. favourite spot for spectators to take up iheir position; and the question arises whether they should not be kept further away out of consideration for the competitors. On Saturday afternoon some of the players while approaching this must have fell considerable anxiety as to whether their shots would he stopped by the crowd. It is pleasing to note, however, that so far the public generally recognised the enqueue of golf by keeping silent when play is in their vicinity.
