D. G. A. LOWE AWARDED GOLD MEDAL OF ASSOCIATION
(By Air Mail)
London, October 14.
The General Committee of the Amateur Athletic Association have passed Sydney Wooderson's 880 yards time of 1 min. 49.2 Secs., run at Motspur Park on August 20, as an English native record.
Wooderson actually beat the world record, previously held by America. His performance is among those which have been re- commended to the British Amateur Athletic Board for ratification as British records. Application for world recognition will probably come afterwards.

Sydney,.October 10.
A suggestion that Australia should compete in the next Curtis Cup golf match, as well as Great Britain and the United States of America, has reached here from England. Hitherto only Great Britain and America have contested the cup, but it is thought that as the trophy was presented in order "to stimulate the rivalry between lady golfers in many lands,” the time is now ripe for a wider contest.
Should the English suggestion result in an invitation. Australia would not be unprepared. The Australian Ladies' Golf Union has been building up an international fund to send a team to England. With Australia in the field, there would be the possibility of a cup match being played in Australia.
