GOLFER'S "BID"
DISAPPOINTED AUCTIONEER LAND SALE NEAR LINKS A golfer on tho Woollahra municipal links in Sydney recentlv made an auctioneer conducting a near by land sale think that at least one man was trying to combine business and pleasure. The land being offered at auction was tho Rose Bay Gardens Estate, portion of which faces the Woollahra links. The auctioneer, Mr. C. H. Crammond, was busily engaged in accepting bids for one lot. They came quickly and briskly from the circle of buyers around him. Then from a little farther away a loud shout was heard.
Mr. Crammond turned. "Did you bid four, sir?" he asked. The golfer, from whom the apparent bid had come, was perplexed for a moment. Then a smile gradually stole over the grim features which golfers generally wear and he enlightened the auctioneer.
"No, I didn't bid four," he said, "but I called 'Fore!' " and he pointed down the fairway, where it had seemed as if a cleanlv-driven ball was going to hit another player.
