GOLFING FEATS,
RECORD OF SOME REMARKABLE- PERFORMANCES,
Golfers, like anglers, have something of a reputation for "drawing the long bow" when expatiating upon their pro- wess on the links, writes Horace Wynd ham in the Brisbane Chronicle, Yer there are so many remarkable feats, and feats, moreover, which have, the merit of being fully authenticated, in connection with the Royal and Ancient” game, that such exaggeration is entirely un- necemary. Here, for example, are a few taken at random from the minute-books of the leading clubs of Great Britain and America The first fow, it will be noted, bad their origin in wagers.
The most famous match· on » record, arising out of a bet, was probably one played at St. Andrews in 1868. be- tween two famous sportsmen of the period, Lord Kennedy and Mr. Cruik shank, of Langley Park. The content was limited to three holes, and these, ac- cording to the terms of the wager, bad to be played after 10 p.m., and with no light except that of the moon overheard and a lantern on each putting-greep. The amount,at stake was" £600 a hole. It was, however, only claimed once, as [two of the holes were halved:
Some ten years later the same course saw the progress of another curious match. This was to test the ability of a certain member of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club who, one night at dimmer, had backed himself to play 18. complete rounda, to be followed by a 10- mile walk, within the same 24 hours. Starting at six on the morning, "he finished the last round shortly after 8. in the evening, and then set out to walk 10 miles along the high road. It moed scarcely be said that he accomplished his ask with the greatest ease.
The celebrated Hoylake_course, which MR. is among the largest in England, once witnessed a peculiar exhibition which Mr. John Ball, the amateur champion, andertook for a wager. The conditions were to complete a full round under 90 strokes within the limit of two and a quarter hours, and not lose a ball. Although a heavy mist prevailed at the time, the feat was carried out success- fully, with several strokes to spare.
AMERICAN ECCENTRICITIES. American clubs, as might be expected. have quite a reputation for eccentric contests in which the result has rested on a. bed. One of these was decided at Pittsburg in 1809, on which occasion 28 members of the Alleghany Club wagered 4,000 dollars that their best player could drive a golf ball through five miles of the city streets in 156 strokes-
The champion not only did this. but be notually got round in 30 strokes under the minimum. As, however, ha contrived to do over £100 worth of damage to windows and conservatory frames on route, his pecuniary, profs' must have bece seriously affected.

A MONUMENT TO ADHIRK.
Professor Stephen Leacock was guest of the London Society at dinner at the Hôtel Cecil and spoke on his im- pressions of London. Dean Inge pre-

Mr. Leacock said he had been in Lon. don two months five days and in few minutes, and he felt transformed. He came here a raw Canadian; he was now a cooked Londoner. He had nothing but admiration for his hosts' fellow-islanders who crossed the Atlantic anxious to pick up iropressions like huckleberries on the other side. As far as he knew Mr. H. G. Wells had outdistanced all rivale in
that art, by having formed 2,788 impres- sions in a fortnight; or at the rate of four and a half per second. (Laughter.) Personally, he could only pick up im- pressions som fore he landed in this laboriously, although he had sold thera country. (Laughter.).

He would sur bar at Capar, a distance of nine miles, in 200 shots.
The wonderful mastery over his clubs of the first-class golfer is sometimes cap able of astonishing resulta. Among ex- amples may be mentioned the fear of the local professional attached to the North Irch course at Perth, who once teed a ball on the open face of a watch, from which position he drove it without injur the glass, Same-19 years ago & mem DK ber of the Westbrook Club 0.8.A., is said to have achieved a still more extra ardinary performance. This, according to the secretary's report, took the form of balancing a ball on the top an egg and then sending it a couple of hundred yards up the course, leaving the shell intact. One does not like to doubt the veracity" of this story.

He would explain that the legislative chamber was very little used, because at the present bime legislation was not conducted there but elsewhere, as, for example,
in the
home of Mr. Lloyd George, or in Ireland, or in any other convenient spot, and then at "the earliest convenient moment the members were mummoned together to hear the Inters thing in legislation and were expected to cheer or groan or, if they chose, to do both. (Laughter.)-
