INFLUENCE OF GOLF.

NIGHT LIFE IN THE SEVENTIES:

Mr. T. F. O'Connor, the" father of the House of Commons, asks:

Does anybody who lived in the pre-golf days realise what a transformation that game has made in the habits of the world? I remember the time-it is not much more than thirty years ago when I had sever even heard the word golf, or, if I heard it, felt any permanent impression of its mean- ing in my mind. I have lived to see the day when large classes of society have been reformed by this mugie game.

I am Cockney of the seventies, and London of the sevention way a strange place cumpared with that of today. People stopped up all night; there were several all- night rendezvous where even the great in the State or at least members of both Houses-lank champagne with the frail fair, and dil nut in that way imperil their public mares At the Argyll Rooms You Could see nightly Mabel Grey lovely creature ai tab: I never saw ber surromided by a whole court of "her

To-day the actor and the journalist go to the golf course, and drink but little as a rule. Lord Balfour's great mervices to his country as a politician are as nothing compared to the benefit be

No Haig & Haig Whisky is being exported in Decanter bottles.

We find it necessary to make this statement because our House was, at one time, a user of this bottle.

After long experience we find that it is not a good bottle. It is easily broken, and the sizes frequently vary, to the detriment of the buyers. We discon tioned its use in the interests of our customers.

We sell the same high-class quality Whisky in this battle. We have one quality only.
