GOLF NOTES.
LAWN TENNIS.
[By R.HH.]
The immediate effect of abandon- ing starting times at Fanling seemed to be that there were, if anything, rather more players than usual out
over the week-end. Certainly there were more out on Saturday after noun. This, one imagines, was due not so much to the perversity of human nature as the, recent cooli weather, and doubts as to whether
tennis courts would be fit for play, Certainly golf has an enviable ad vantage over almost all other out. door games in the varying condi- tions under, or generally over, which it can be played, and whereas bad weather will make tennis or cricket an impossibility, as often as not it merely adds a spico of interest to golf,
Just lately the grass has been growing at an amazing pace at Fanling, and the rough is rather terrifying ng present, especially as the grass, besides being long and thick, is also damp and clings tenaciously to the face of the club. In parts it is something of ap athletic achievement to do much more than put the ball back on to the fairway again.
Rapid growth has not been com fined to the rough alone: the fair- ways, are beginning to look very wild in parts. The tractor and its string of mowing machines is doing its best, but it is impossible for it to cope with everything. As a re- sult, the further one can carry and the less one looks to run for length, the further one will get. The 4th hole was one of the best examples of this. The fairway had been ext from the green to just below the path across the course, while every- thing short of that was looking A shot hit to carry very wild. would just about reach the cut" part, but the low hit shot, which in more favourable circumstances Would bave run almost for ever, made a very poor sort of showing, and probably found a bad lie as well. It is certainly a good plan to keep the ball in the air as long as possible these days
"
I believe that the 3rd hole on the Old Course was done in one on Saturday afternoon. This hole is far the most popular on the course amang performers of this

One frequently hears arguments as to whether holing a tee shot is pure luck or not. Some players candidly admit that they merely play for the green, in which case it is manifestly pure luck that the ball should find the tin. Even when the shot is played for the pin and actually goes in the hole, rather than lying within a foot or two of the pin, there is more luck than anything tise. It is impossible to see and allow for the little undula- tions of the green when one is standing on a tee 150 yards away. That these little slopes should very occasionally turn the ball into a hole 4 inches in diameter must be counted as a pleasant piece of good fortune, rather than the acme of skill. At the same time, of course, it is generally proof positive at an extremely accurate shot, and the fact that it is not complete luck is fairly conclusively proved by first class pros, holing so much more frequently than enthusiastic rabbits The good player at least gives the ball more chances of Euding the hole, and occasionally it takes the chance.
Those who like to make the best. of the day, and get the best of the day, at Fanling, and who conse- quently play a round in the evening and catch the last train 'back, aro, reminded that the time of this train has been altered, and that it now leaves Sheungahui at 6.52, instead of 7.08.
*
It is curious how preferences for certain makes of balls vary from time to time. Not so. long ago, I am told, the sales of Dunlops and Silver Kings here were just about equal. But lately Maxfis have leapt into such sudden popularity that there is not one to be got in the Colony at the inoment. Such a tragedy as a complete cessation of Yaxilis is a thing which no golier could face with equanimity, but fortunately a cessation from over- popularity is not likely to have n very long duration.
To be compelled to play, with an- other make of ball is not really half such a hardship as one is apt to make out. The main trouble is that it certainly has a different feel off the club, and even good shots do not feel quite right. That gives one a feeling of anxiety, which is not good for one's golf, and the anxiety is apt to make one look up a little too early, just to see if that really was a good one. Each fault leads to the other, and so we fall to des- truction with ever-growing momen tum.

LORD BANBURY CRITICISES
CRANK POLICY.
The uproarious scenes at the re cent annual meeting of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals revealed to the public something of the dissension which has split the council into two factions and is likely to ham per a great, humane work.
Lord Banbury, the chairman of the council, who was howled down at the meeting, sent a letter to the Daily Mail, in which he said:
The meeting was called by the council to sanction two altera- tions in the rules. The first to taka a poll of the members on the election of a member to the coun eil without having to obtain the signatures of 150 members: The second to authorise the issue of proxies, thus enabling the 8,000 or 9,000 members of the society to control the society.
The real object of Mr. Stephen Coleridge and his friends is gradually to put on the council members who would endeavour so stop hunting and shooting. "
There are, unfortunately, many casea of eruelty, which can be dealt with under the existing laws and require the attention of the society. The attempt to stop hunting and shooting would only result in the time of the society being wasted in an endeavour which, cannot succeed and which, would alienate a large number of the society's supporters
Mr. Coleridge's Reply. Mr. Stephen Coleridge, director of the National Anti-Vivisection Society, gave a Daily Mail re- porter his answer to Lord Ban- bury's letter. He said:
My position is that in a great society founded to oppose all faims of cruelty among animals it is inappropriate that fox hunters should be on the council.
