The latest golf anecdote comes from Berhampore (says the “New Zealand Times”). Two players went out the other day with caddies, one of whom was a diminutive novice. It was as much as he could do to keep his bag of clubs from trailing on the ground. When his player drove his ball off the tee he was utterly at a loss where to look for it. His elder caddie associate ultimately pointed it out to him, and the little one rushed to secure it. He evidently thought that he had to play the part of a retriever, for rushing to it he grabbed it up exultantly and started on a return journey to his player in double quick time. For a period there was consternation on the links. “Leave it!” was shouted to him on all sides, and he dropped the ball in his flight as if it were a hot potato or a bomb about to explode, and ran for his life. His bewilderment was extreme, and it was only when the elder caddie explained matters to him that he meditated : omething to the effect—“We live and learn.”
