Mr. E. Cock, President of the Club, said he started to play golf in 1903 and since then had often wondered why he was not a golfer. He had now come to the conclusion that as he had never been able to beat his wife at golf he had decided to give it up. The Club, he said, was holding its own and had possibilities. He had been very struck by the Improvements made to the course, the credit for which went to the members of the various committees who spent a good deal of their time working on behalf of the Club,

ATLANTIC AERODROMES

M. Louis Bleriot states that he has in collaboration with Mr. Armstrong, the American engineer, constructed a machine which he thought would meet all the requirements for a regular trans-Atlantic service. The scheme would embrace saries of floating "islands placed along the best route at intervals of 810 miles. They had decided upon aeroplanes fitted with wheels and having four engines.. In case of a forced landing the wheels would automatically become detached along with the engines, leaving the hell to float until help, which had been wirelessed for, had arrived.
