And how much anything of a standard at all, and if we may affect have they bad? apply is similiarly to other matters, it is ovident that the game of golf is of the greatest popaler importance for the moment. In last week's Puch (saya Mr. Horace Hutchinson in the Westminster Goudic) were three pictures to which the gene figured in one of them only incidentally, in the other two with a feature of the game forming the leading interest. This may be taken as a sign of the times, for not many years ago any reference of the kind would have been entirely lost on the vast majority of the students of Punch. Indeed, if it be not Alacreating the secrets of the prison-house, I have | myself been privileged to see a letter from the Editor of Zach written, not so many years ago, to one of his staff, who was a golfer, from Wastward Ho in which this passage of fine tut wholly unconscious humour figured; think you would like this place, there are such the golfing sands (sic) boxe."

As a curiosity, it may be mentioned that the Fossische Zeitung professes to regard Lord Loure downe's speech as a and exhibition of the conse quences of the British refusal to ensenrage the German Fogdad Railway project. "The cal culation," it says, "bas not worked out. The English sommarily rejected the band which Germany offered them, and by so doing they have not improved their position with Emesis. They may now reflect whether this is a wise policy." Son matter of fact, no out over iming- ined that the situation would be materially ulter ed by the rejection of the German proposals, but it would certainly have on complicated if there had been accepted. There are indications that the British determination to keep the for. mini of any railways which may touch upon the Persian Gulf in British hands is being appreci ated hors, and that it will be taken into account both in the sphere of German policy and in the future projects of German fiusu ciers.
