Lord Aberdeen has issued novel 'chul-

The challenge has been acepted by ex-Lord Provost Sir James Taggart and by Dr. Tosher, the country analyst, and the members of the Rotary Club will decide who is the winner. All three competiters are endowed with pawky humour, and Lord Aberdeen specialises in "bruid Scots."
À DAMAGED ROMANCE.
The Earl of Kinnoull has left South-
decided to sell the whole of his Huntly estates. They extend to some 80,000 acres of valuable arable land, and the sale will be one of the most important hell in Scotland for many years. In 1819, it will be recalled, the Duke of Sutherland exposed for sale lands to the extent of 114,509 scres, but thes were mostly sporting; and within the last few weeks the Taymouth estates of the Marquis of Breallbane have changed hands. There are rumours of still further changes afferting large estates in the North, and the property market is therefore in a very unsdttled state. Excessive taxation is given ng the reason for the break-up of the Huntlympton in R.M.S. Edinburgh Gaulle, for property, and in a letter to his tenants the Duke of Richmond and Gordon says- "In view of the long association, extending over generations, between my family and the estate, you will believe me that it is only grave necessity that compels me to take this step." The estate agent declares that practically the whole of the money derived from the 60,000 acres is absorbed by taxa tion and the cost of repairs, and that there was no alternative but to dispose of the
lands.
THE HAMILTON ESTATER

So ends the first chapter of a romance in the life of the twenty-year-old George Harley Hay, fourteenth holder of Peerages that began with Sir George Lay, Lord High Chancellor of Scotland, when Charles I was King. Before leaving, Lord Kinnoull adanitted in conversation that his people were sending him to South Africa as the result of a joke played by him and. a charming young widow on a London registrar. Twenty is rather young for the responsibilities of marriage in the opinion of Viscountess Dupplin, who, left a widow after two years or less of marriage, has devoted her life to her sou, her second interest being music. The family seat, Duplin Castle, now. belongs to Lord Fortoviat, Lady Duppliu and her son keep- ing a lesser place near by, Balhousie Castle.
THE WHISKY QUIE.
Mr. Justice Darling's joke, in a recent case before his Court, that a Scottish re- medy for cold-spirits of uitre and tincture of rhubarb-must be "very un- ciest, before the introduction of whisky," reminds me of a story I have not seen in print. The wife of a laird, visiting a lonely, outlying farm on the estate, was struck with the healthy looks of the family. "How well your bairns look," she sail to the farmer's wife." You are far from a
Is St. Andrews famous Old Course unfair ? Some of the English professionals would reply with a decided "Yes." After their experience in the £1,000 tournament, they declaim against its hidden pot bunkers, against the hillocks which knock the ball into these bunkers, against the depth of many of the sand bazards, and a great deal more to the same effect. Most of these protesters, however, are of those whose namnes generally fall under the caption doctor in case of need; do you keep any "Na, na," "other scores." One plain fact emerged at medicine in the house?".

of hummocks and sand dunes he had the staggers," and felt that he was driving into the unknown. The Mother Course, 38 it might well bo callel, will survive such erit'cs. If bankers wore all shallow pifting little things that only required one struke to clear, how much sport or fun would be left in the game? What of the Cardinal, the Himalayas, and Hell? And the "unfairness" of the course did not prevent Braid and Vardon and Hilton. and other super players from efercising their skill in golf
INTERNATIONAL GOLF. 1
The great crowds at Prestwick on the occasion of the international golf match between England and Scotland are oas more indication of the revival of interest in amateur golf. It was the first meeting of the kind since 1912. The interval of ten years has left its mark on the men who in the past were assured of places in an inter- national side. Bome of them are now in the ranks of the veterans though it would be difficult to state precisely at what period of life a golfor enters that mellow stage. The changes in the personnel of the To- spective sides were sufficiently numerous, at any rate, to impart a strong element of uncertainty as to the outcome of the match. The list of players, though composed mainly of freshmen, won by no means undistinguished nor untried in the hard school of championship golf, and the several matches which went to the decision of the issue were cach well fought. Once again the English team had to acknowledge defent, Scotland having three wins to one
