JAPAN AND MEXICO,

THE EYE OF THE GOLFER.
Mr. Horace Hutchinson writes in a Home paper :-
Lately we have had rather a futile ex- From Magdalena bay the reports of position of the art of playing golf with Japanese designe upon the American con- the eyes bandaged, in the form of a match tinent have shifted to Manzanillo harbour, in which a professional of the first class, There, according to dispatch from blindfolded like the classic god of love, Mexico City, the Mexican Governplayed an amateur of the second class with ment has already expanded on port works both eyes open.

sary to play before he was beaten and Had it been otherwise, done with. Nature herself would almost seem to have stood convicted of a work of supereroga tion in troubling to supply a man with eyes at all. The singular impertinence of this most gross practical contradiction of the ancient maxim about keeping the eye on the ball was sufficiently demon- strated. Our forefathers, besides their most notable achievement in producing such progeny as ourselves, had a cortain- share of wisdom for which we do not always credit thern..
There is now a rumour (Mex.) that Japan has been secretly negotiating to bay out the whole business and establish a naval base there. "Absolutely accurate, detailed information covering the entire deal is said to have been given to a correspondent by Rum Garcia Alfaro, who is described as being one of the Superintendents of construction on the Manzanillo works..
No books of reference being available which contain the name of Ram Garcia Alfaro, it is possible at this distance only to speculate as to that personality. It is probable, however, that he is a great humorist (Mex.). Certainly his story of Japan's secret negotiations was a good on the correspondent
une to put over who wired it.
But is it not time that these rumours of Japan's alleged purpose to obtain a naval base on the American continent were discontinued t The first one made interesting enough reading on a dull day until it was denied by both Japan and Mexico, the Foreign Minister of the latter country declaring that neither Japan nor any other Farsige Government could get a foot of Mexican soil without fighting for it."
Since then the Lodge resolution has bean passed by the United States Senate, and the principle of it accepted by Mexico And Japan, whose interest it is to be on friendly terms with this country, is not likely to challenge this extension of the Monroe doctrine.
But, after all, ridiculous affair as was this so-called match, is not the most sur- prising thing about it not that the blind- folded professional should have been beaten by so many holes I think I have been less than kind to the merit of the amateur opposed to him in rating him as of the second class-but that he should have halved any, even so few a three
a it not most surprising that the match should have been made at all, or that a man should be able to hit the ball-that be should not starkly miss the globe-with no eyes to guide his movements? That is the really astonishing and interesting point of the whole I am told-1 do not believe all I am told that Mayo and. also Taylor have driven when blindfolded balls teed on the glasses of watches, with the watches beneath the glasses. Whether their own watches or borrowed for the occasion is not stated, nor whether they were watches of great price. It might Still another rumour which from time make an interesting match-I am not sure to time is given currency has to do with that I would not take either of those Japanese designs upon the Philippines professionals on at the terms-to play As to this, the statement of Kinosuke them with the handicap that for each Inui, vice-President of the Great Lakester-shot they drive off the faces of International Arbitration Society, in watches-their own, watches-even with lecture at Stanford University on Thure day probably accurately expressed intelli- gent Japanese opinion.

It is wonderful enough, on LONDON, November 27th. consideration, that it should be possible The Pall Mall Gazette publishes athus to swing and thus to hit even with forecast of the report of the Indian Army Commission. The most striking feature of the report is a recommendation to abolish the port of Commander-in-Chief with the termination of Sir O'Moore Creagh's tenure, The report suggests the replacing of the Commander-in-Chief by a small Army Council, headed by a Chief of Staff, whose duties will be proximately similar to those of the French Chief of Staff. The Pall Mall also says that the report proposes the creation of the post of Inspector-General for the whole troops in India, both British and native.
the eyes open and firmly looking at the object to be struck. Most of us have been astonished at one time or another to watch two street workmen, or sometimes three at once of his species, striking in succession and with perfect timing and with heavy hammers at an iron crowbar that they are hammering into the ground, and even more astonished perhaps at the temerity of the person who without an apparent tremor of the nerves, holds that crowbar in position with his hand. If one of those hammers deviated by a couple of inches from the correat swing his arm must be broken like a stick. Yet they do not deviate. But we can scarcely imagine that the nerves of the holder would not develop some little tremor if the three men were to be set to work to swing their "one-man beatles" on to the bar with their eyes bandaged. The hitling of a gulf ball correctly is an affair of much more nicety, and it is far more likely that a man would miss that small object by two inches. The fact that he does not so miss it is a witness, which is independently confirmed by other testi- mony, that "eye" in the sense in which we commonly use the term in speaking of the above wire the "Times of Ceyball games, is of much less importance Jon comments: The apparently in- in golf than in most of them, or than in such sports as shooting.

The report will probably suggest a reduc- tion of the strength of British units in India to a peace footing, and decentralisa- tion of control will be recommended with a view to economy. No officer of the headquarters staff will retain the same power as he now possesses.
