We hear much of the fisheries of Newfoundland, but the greatest cod fishery in the world lies thirty miles off the island zone of Labrador. This, with the seal-fishing In the Spring, forms the main source of livelihood for the fishermen, who constitute the population to be con- sidered. It is suggested that in any lease that may be granted the fishing industry will be specially ex- empted and retained for these brave fellows, and on this point there should be no shadow of doubt.

He suggested that the best plan would be to select the three clubs that are needed most frequently in a round of the course, and to concentrate on them for the purpose of advancement. And which are the three?

There are, indeed; some first-class players to-day who acomplish vir- tually all their shots with an equal- ly limited range of Implements, al- though they carry a considerably larger number possibly because an attenuated kit is regarded in these times as a sign that the owner need not be taken very seriously.

It must be confessed that for a long while these maxims have drop- ped and hidden their diminished heads before the widespread ad-} vance of new methods. Quick-up swings have been a feature of the ways of the younger generation; there has been a tendency to estab- lish the right hand and the right side of the body as controlling fac tora; and an even more pronounced disposition to check the club-head quickly after the impact, as though the follow-through had been proved useless and played out.

It has needed the loss of both the amateur and open championships of Britain to make people wonder whether new faiths are good faiths. Now there are indications of a rallying to the old ones,

It has been remarked that the Americans, instead of adopting the modern British system of hitting of the ball and stopping the club, wing the club-head through the position occupied by the ball, after the manner of the old-time players. The hit may produce a little extra length (or seems to do so because it is so strenuous), but it certainly does not promote the same accuracy of direction as the swing pure and simple
