Freeman did well at sleeves. And so far from being un-left hooking to the jaw too, and it lucky, she defeated Mrs. D. G. Madill, of Dublin, by the crushing margin of eight up and saven to play.
Green may have been worn in compliment to Miss Wethered's Irish opponent, but, if so, the sight of the national colour was about the only consolation which fell to Mrs. Madil's share. She played bravely and at times well, but in this strong south-west wind she was eclipsed She held her gently formidable op ponent only at two holes, the third, whict Miss Wethered lost, in six through finding a bad lie off her drive, and taking three putts, and the sixth, where three putts by the English player caused a half.
Miss Wethered consistently out- drove her opponent, sometimes by as much as fifty yards, and at the fifth hole, measuring 530 yards, she was just short of the green in two. Her all-round accuracy continued serenely pitiless. She won the first two holes each in four, and after the lapse at the third, took the fourth, Efth, seventh, eighth, aineth, tenth and eleventh for the match.
She was out in 39, and, when the procession reached its summary finish, held the wonderful average for St. Andrew's in testing condi-

MAINLY FOR THE MEN.
There is a small and very select club in London, known only to a few persons, where the Prince of Wulos has the distinction of being the only member ever to have start- ed a bridge game within its pre- cincts. It has been a tradition that the only card game to be played within the club would be cribbage. The Duke of Devonshire is a mem- ber and one of the finest cribbage players in the club. The members of the club all dine at one long table, and often the diners select their own joints and give orders as to its preparation. The doors of the organization are not open until dinner time in the evening and are closed after supper around mid- night. The club membership is kept small by continual and heavy use of theblackball," and even eligible young men are postponed for years.
