SUDDEN DEATH OF SHANGHAI'S PROFESSIONAL GOLFER.

The Shanghai Settlement, especially the golfing and sporting community, suffered a severe shock yesterday says the NC. Daily News of Thursday, by the news, which spread in the course of the forenoon, that Mr. Richard Graham, the professional of the Shanghai Golf Cluk, had been found dead in bed. The event occurred with such tragic suddenness that it could scarcely be realized, for up to the previous day he had been engaged in his duties and there was not the slightest indication of so sudden a termination to a career which had started in the most auspicious inanner. He had been in Shanghai only a few weeks, but short
though the time was he had many friends
and the members of the Golf Club had
been congratulating themselves upon having secured the services of so able a man. He had been in good health up to the time he was last seen alive, and, while the result of postmortem examination is awaited, it is believed that he must have passed away during the night, a victim to heart failure.
Richard Graham came to Shanghai by the P. & O. S. Nyanza on October 8, having been engaged some monthe carlier by the Golf Club. He came with the highest recommendations, having been assistant to Tom Ball at Raynes Park. and his arrival was looked forward to by many, for the want of a professional in a place like Shanghai, where golf has taken such a firm hold, had long been felt. It was expected that, in addition to giving lessons, a good deal of his work would at first be given to the completion of the links at. Kiangwan, but while ho had spent much time there, he had also been much in request by the golfers on the Race Course. His play was much admired, and having done a thirty-three for the nine boles at the Race Course and. a seventy-eight at Kiangwan, great things were expected of him. With the races falling this week, he had naturally a good deal of leisure, and on Monday he had gone to the Hongkew linke with 3r. J.
