The Princes were tumultuously cheered as they strolled in the Prince George kicked off in the second half.

MODERN IRONS BETTER.
Those of our golfers who belong to the old school will readily ad mit, I think, that the game has improved considerably since they first took to it, writes C. B. Mac- Farlane in the Evening Nows.
This improvement is due very largely to the great progress that has been made in the manufacture of cluba and balls.

W. G. Grace's bat was once found to be the same, much to W. G.'s concern and the amuse- ment of others.

Clubs of fifty years ago were extremely well Anished, but they were cumbersome affairs, and the modern golfer would not be able
