A white-bearded caddie, aged 78, is to be seen plodding merrily round Addington golf links, near Croydon, Surrey, with a bag of clubs stung from his straight shoulders. The club members are proud of this pic- turesque caddie, who must be one of the oldest-if not the oldest- in the country. He is Mr. Richard Glover, a tall, red-checked man with

Not only does he carry his bag of clubs four miles when he makes round of the course, but also he walks daily to and from his home at Croydon, which is four miles from Addington. On one oc- casion recently he did two rounds in a day, which, with his journey to and from home, involved him in Mr. walk of sixteen miles. Glover is the father of eleven thil- dren, of whom all but one are alive.
