NEW ZEALANDER’S PROWESS. Writing in the London Evening Standard, “ Olympian ” has some interesting comments about the prowess as a golfer of a quondam New Zealander. Thus: “Dr. Gillies, who believes in adding to the gaiety of golf, amused his fellow-medicos at Sideup last evening by a new departure in high tees. The doctors were playing a friendly match against the club. “ Often Dr. Gillies, who is an honorary member of Sideup, has gone round the course driving from the top of a lemonade bottle. Last night lie varied the manoeuvre by teeing tlie ball on the head of an india-rubber doll, after the manner of William Tell and the apple, only that in the doctor’s case the tec was a dummy. The doll was supported by a liberal foundation of sand. “ With no more than the ordinary number of waggles, the doctor, amid laughter and applause, made an excellent clean shot from the first lee, and won the hole in four.”
