GOLF.

A peculiar match at golf was played recently. The Kettering School Board lately had a hot dispute with the urban council about the site of a refuse destructor, and at length decided to settle the matter by a game of golf. The urban councillors won, and the school board has had to withdraw the opposition Referring to this the Globe says:— "This novel method of deciding disputes would not be always satisfactory. If, for example, patriots and proBoers attempted to settle their differences on the links, the latter would never stand a chance. Their lies are always &> bad.' New York.exchanges of March 29 state: — is more than likely that a team of six of the most, expert amateur golfers in Groat Britain will visit this country during the coming season and Way America's leading golfers. While the United States Golf Association felt it could not officially _ invite them at the expense of the association, it has no objection to their coming over as the guests of an individual club, and being entertained by the various clubs while they remain in America., Therefore the FoxHills Golf Club, one of the most progressive in the United States, has decided to invite a team of six of England's best to come over as its guests. .The team will, of course, cross the ocean at its own expense, but upon their arrival they will receive a hearty welcome, and will be taken care of by the club while they remain, no matter how long they wish to stay. Mortimer M. Singer, the former captain of tho club, will sail for Europe early in June, and extend the invitation. The Englishmen's visit will Ik: a golf sensation. It will give the general public an opportunity to see how our homebred golfers compare with those abroad, and it will give the visitors a chance to see how thoroughly welcome they are in this country. The match foi the Fry challenge trophy, which was to have been played on Tuesday last, was postponed till to-day. Certain players went out early in tho morning, found some of the bogey cards in the clubhouse, and played against the bogey score shown on these cards. The official cards were somewhat different, and it was resolved by the committee that the match should bo replayed. Players may compete any time during the day. The proper bogey score is as follows:— 5, 4, 6, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, out, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 4. 6 in. A very large entry has been received for the match. Simultaneously with the Fry challenge trophy match the usual monthly bogey match will bo played. Any players competing for this match as well as the Fry trophy, must obtain a special card from the clubhouse-keeper. On Saturday next the foursome matches for the captain's prize will be played, and , members are reminded that entries close with the hon. secretary on Wednesday next at five p.m. As several workmen are engaged at present on the hill, members are particularly requested to be careful not to drive into them, and especially to give due warning if playing in their direction.
