GOLF TOPICS.
The presentsson at home has, from all accounts, been record ono, all our envies those on leave from the Colony who have had the opportunity of seeing the pick of the world golfers playing bu course. All the big events have savoured of international struggles. Of the invaders, the Americans sent the largest contingent, but France, Spain and Australia, also, were represented. In spite of losing the Open Championship to America, the Old Country emerged from the invasion with great credit. One does not begrudge Americs her success, but one cannot help remembering that the present Open Champion won the bonour on his native heath-in fact he is another of those dud 'Scotsmen !
The way in which our amateura acquitted themselves makes one rejoice. The Ameti- can amateurs seem to take the game more seriously and study details more than our own players do, but, notwithstanding, the amateur final was fought for by two Britons, and that was not because America did not send the pick of har players But the Enest amateur performance of all was in the Open Championship, then Mr. Wethered tied for first place, thereby bearly retaining the title for the bid Conatry. It was a great performatics when one looks at the list of eatrants. One had almost despaired of ever again seeing an amateur win the "Open."

WHAT THEY MIGHT AND WHAT
THEY HAVE DONE.
The following interesting observations by the Commissioner of Police appear in the Shanghai Municial Gazette (
There is an 18-hole eclectis competition STREET UNIONS AT SHANGHAI on at present, which closes at the end of August, for a cup presented by a metiler who is too bashful to allow his nami" to appear in connection with it. Bo far over, so cards have becu taken out. One can almost hour the Secretary shouting to the crowd to pass along please, but really it is not so I know, because I happen to be one of the ten players who have taken out 8 or more cards. Any how, we are having a YETD pleasant struggle on our own, and something nett 60 nett is going to be the winner.
Golf is one of the few games which is more dangerous to those not playing than it is to the players. I mention this in case the military authoritica, who are responsible for pitching their tennis courty in about the most dangerous spot of all, are not aware of this fact. suppose some unfortunate golfer will have to damage some ail! more unfortunate tennis player before those responsible will take notice. Anyhaw, don't let them say they haven't been warned.
DEEP WATER BAY.
However,
Deep Water Bay course, or the bathers' paradise, is the popular rendezvous for summer golfers, and if we all had care it would be necessary to have a special squadron of police there to direct the trafic of golf balls, plus a special hos pital: It is unfortunate that there is a little room, but the sub-committee res ponsible are doing all possible to reduce the danger to a minimum. The fourth hole, when completed, will be a great improvement, and players playing the first hole will do so more light-heartedly in future. believe matting ters are to tried, and, although they are not ur good as grass. they are far better than so-called grass tees, and on occasions one does waste so much times on this course looking for a little grass on the too on which to rest one's ball.
When street, unions were first formed locally during the latter half of 1919 there. were hopes that they would be carried on somewhat on the lines of ratepayers' associations which are established in European cutries, and that the pro- moters would. by constructive criticism and by educating their members, endes vour, to assist the authorities in the management of Municipal affaire. The delusiveness of such hopes has been proved whenever a serious question, such as the lierusing of rice shops, has arisen. During the shartage of 1920, when rice reached the unprecedented price of $16 per picul, the street unions were loud io their condemnation of profiteers and smugglers and alleged dishonest practices on the part of local rice dealers.
Tbo
translation of an articlo, which i in the Chinese newspaper Esin Shun Poo of July 10th, 1920, shows the that attitude of the street unions at time
of
The Amalgamated Association Street Unions has written to the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, stating that, owing to the dearness of rice, & rios supply committee was inaugurated in the premises of the Chamber of Commerce and two representatives from the Amalga mated Association were allowed to co operate with the committee to ascertain the quantity of rice stored in various rice shops. It was decided that the work of investigation should be concluded within three days hut up to the present the price of ripe is still as dear as before and the people are panic-stricken. This is dus to the fault of the Chamber of Commerce in having failed to announce to the public the quantity of rice in stock in this locality. Therefore, the Amalgamated Association urges the Chamber of Cote- merce to publish a detailed report regard to the quantity of rice in stock, other wise cutaiders may allege that the Cham ber of Commerce is helping the dishonest rice dealers,'
Of the invaders, the man who seems to have made the greatest impression is Kirkwood, the Australian champion, who appears to be able to make a golf ball do everything but talk. Mr. Graham, possibly the finest judge of a golfer, paid him a great compliment by, saying that he had never seen a brainier" golfer since the days of Mr. Harold Hilton in Eis prime.. He was unfortunate to run up against Abe Mitchell in one of his

had those who were trying to secure the arrest of the accused. In contrast to this, when a Sikh trooper and Chinese constable were shot, whilst in the execution of their duty, by a Chinese on Thibet Road, on June 19th, there was not a word or a sign from the street unions that they were anxious to see the murderer brought wo justice.
There are several improvements to the course, notably the re-construction of the 7th hole, which has been converted into an arm-chair hole. This hole was never a good one, and the alteration is very welcome. There are many other minor improvements, and the course generally should be in very good condition after
long rest.
the opening of the old course is more er less the heralding of the new season, when those of us who laid our clubs, to earth them once again, and proceed to rest during the summer months will un demonstrate on the drawing-room carpet the correct way of playing approach shots, till eventually our spirit carries us too far and there is a crash.
