Golf Balls. Golfers of the various outlying club:-; round Christchurch recently have had occasion to lament the loss of scores of golf balls, with the result that school children have made it their practice during the term holidays to, go hall collecting. One hoy claimed to a reporter that he had collected as many ,as 30 golf balls on thie Hagley links, in spite of the bad weather, in the holidays. He was of the opinion that there were still more for anybody ’wtyo was willing to loot for them.

The Town of Bulla. An amusing story comes from Massey Agricultural College. A certain lecturer strode into the office one morning and said to the new telephone girl: “Get me 37, Bulls.” She looked at him, terrified, and replied: “Which paddock are they in?”

New Zealand Journalists. No fewer than seven New Zealand men are working on the literary staff of the Rand Daily Mail, the South African paper which was founded and first edited by the late Edgar Wallace (states the Otago Daily Times). They include the editor, Mr McLeod, of Oamaru, and the news and assistant news editors, Messrs Constable and Williams, both of Ashburton. Mr E. Murray Fuller said at Dunedin recently that he was ’warmly received by these New Zealanders during his recent tour of South and East Africa.
