GOLF WITH THE PRINCE.

Postmaster's Story of Thrilling Day.

"MY WORD, HE'S KEEN.".

London, May 25.

Mr. S. J. Jacoba, postmaster of the little village of Brancaster in Norfolk, is cock-n-hoop. He has played golf with the. Prince of Wules.

The fact that the Prince simply wiped the floor with him is no Bource of worry to Mr. Jacobs.

Ile thinks only of the fact that as soon as he had got rid of his morning mail' he went, ill at ease, to do his best. He did his best, the Prince made him feel "at home" and then he went under to a far better playor. Four and three as a matter of fact; and Mr. Jacobs is frank enough to admit that it might have been a lot worse,

Mr. Jacoba does not care a lot for telephones,. He did his best for a few minutes when talking to a Star reporter. Then his daughter acted as deputy for her father over the wire..

"I started very. nervously," said, "but after the Prince had been talking for a few minutes 1 felt that he was just an ordinary person playing me in an ordinary round,"

"I did my best, but the Prince is a very good player. He went out

in 38, which is one under bogey; well, you can tell, can't you?

"I seemed never to get going properly. I have been secretary of the village club, you know, for 80 years. I can play when I am on form.

"The Prince hit a very long ball. He has a knack of starting very wall, then falling off a bit, and then finishing right at his best: He has no real faults:.his golf is most even.

"My word, he's keen: When he 'messed up a short he said, 'Oh, good Lord,' and many a time he 'said, 'Well done,' or 'Good shot," to me."

Miss Jacobs took up the tale then.

"Do you know," she said, "when the Prince and my father were on the 18th green I asked permission to take a photo of them. The Prince was kind enough to let my father stand with him, and then. I took a picture of them."
