WHAT GOLF LACKS.
So far as 1 ean judge, the gen- eral estimate of golf club scere- taries is that only about 25 per cent. of the members take part in competitions.
No doubt this is a tribute
to
the character of golf as a game without regard for the possibility worth playing for the game's sake.

BRITONS LAG BEHIND.
John Low's Idea,
We might prefer to call such an event as this merely the challenge tournament of the club, since our Interest in goats has not yet be- come a by-word.
Whatever Its name, it could do n good deal to hring into competi- ! tion a lot of members who ordin-! arily fight shy of the established medal days, and who are so firm- ly entrenched in cliques that they seldom play with more than two or three of their fellow members. After all, it would need a pecu- liarly exclusive or ill-circumstanc-
