He would describe the tok- ing of a 7 at the eighth hole at Hoylake, in the last round of the recent championship, as a clear case of slumber. This was a hole he could reach in two shots, with the

assurance of a reasonable chance of á 4, which would have given him a score of 35 for the 'outward journey, an achievement, as events turned out, that would have placed him in an unassailable position.

trou, than a number of mechanical. mistakes," says Mr. Jones, "main- ly because it is harder to bring the mind back to the business in hand than it is to correct, or guard against, a physical mistake recog- aised as soon as it appear." This one lapse of concentration cost him not only three precious strokes, each worth a king's ransom, but it threw the championship back once more into the melting-pot.

Memories of the old clipper-racing days are recalled by the death at Melbourne of Capt. W. H. Bennett, a native of Chatham, England, the veteran former commander of the famous sailing ship Loch Vennachar.
Once before Capt Bennett - was reported dead. That was in May, 1920. He celebrated the mistake by giving a jolly Juncheon party, the same day.
Miss Wethered's Concentration. This is supported by the famous incident in the finel of the English championship at Sheringham, when Miss Wethered defeated Miss Cecil Leitch for the first time. As Miss Wethered was putting on the seven teenth green for the championship, A train, shrieking and whistling, thundered by not many yards away. Without the slightest pause, Miss Wethered holed the putt which commenced her career as the peeres of the world's lady golfers. Miss
