From the beginning of the great struggle, however, Barnes was in the picture. A record opening round of 70 gave him a useful lendi, and probably inspired him with confidence in his ability to pull through; but in the end victory waited on him, for MacDonald Smith, the ex-Carnoustie golfer, who like Barnes has won fume in America, had n fewer than five strokes in hand when he entered upon the final round after Barner and other challengers had completed their account. How Smith host that golden opportunity was not the result of an isolated disaster. If it was due to nervous "strain, his breakdown was all the more remarkable in view of the tine temperamental equip meat he had shown on the previous day, when he leapt into Erst place with round of 69, which eclipsed Barnes's short-lived record score.

a task that now lies before the younger generation. Some of the younger men have disappointed the hopes and belied the promises built upon their performances in recent times, but they may take heart from the fine example set by Compston, of Man- chester. The challenging quality of Ray's golf on the final day is also a reminder to players so brilliant as Duncan and Mitchell that their lace is still in the vanguard. The abnormally warm weather of this memorilble Jude created conditions at Prestwick which reduces prodigiously long driving to almost a commonplace, but the hard ground set up a fresh set of problems in controlling the ball near the green and in putting. The glories of Old Prestwick are undiaimed, but que can recall chata. pionships played inder circumstances which called for a greater variety of strokes over However large the the famous links. player's kit of clubs, it was shown that the course could be compassed with no greater armoury than a driver, a mashie, and a putter, with occasional resort to an iron- and a niblick for trouble.
NOTES ON CRICKET.
Capital week-end weather gave us good cricket, and some heavy scoring, Cricket and enthusiasm as a rule are things apart, but the exciting nature of the finish at Dunfermline stifted the phlegmatio: Fifery to the extent of carrying a successful bowler shoulder high to the pavilion. Probably the totally unexpected character of the whole match combined to this culmination. Oa no calculation had Fifeshire à long odds chance of defeating Forfarshire, yet the Stirling outsiders won on their merits. Coapty's performance was even better. Aberdeenshire have been "bonnie fetchners" this season, while Stirling have been at the mercy of all.
But Stirling's win by six wickets was the outcome of good, sound batting, in which Dr. Melville, of Glasgow University and Poloc, was a bright figure. Outstanding in the Western Union games was Ayr's first win. Berridge, the Atild Troon professional, was an easy first in the joyous performance. Next in order. came the West's demonstration of what amateur talent can do. Royal High School gave u glimpse of their best form when they defeat- ed Stewartorians, and there was an exciting finish between Heriotonians and Edinburgh Academicals. Principal results:-
