GOLF IN SHANGHAI. MR. BLINKO WINS HONGKEW

PARK CHAMPIONSHIP..

NEW RECORD ESTABLISHED FOR 18 HOLES.

One of the golfing competitions which has excited a very great interest in Shanghai the first of its kind to be played-took place at Hongkow Park last Sunday, and not only resulted in A. R. Blinke winning the event but also establishing a new record for Hongkow, says the FC. Daily News. This was the championship of Hongkey Park, the conditions being that entries should be confined to members of clubs which normally play over the links there. This brought forth a considerable amount of talent, for not only did players belonging to the Junior Golf Club entes, but there was also a large entry from the Hongkow Golf Club; Japanese Golf Club and the B. C. C. Club.

Capt. Larsen, one of the witnesses, paid the deceased a guarantee of 92,000, whet forming a firm, of which the deceased represented himself to be the agent. It has been discovered that confirmatory telegrams sent to Captain Larsen, were sent by the deceased himself.

Tsai, another witness, who said he was secretary to the deceased, told how cables were sent to Shanghai by the deceased to the effect that the ship and cargo were ready, and asking for money. Tsai said he know of no cargo or ship.

On the 'resumption of the inquest- lasi week, Mr. Yoshida, manager of the China and Southern Bank? gave evidenen He said there was a branch of his bank at Saigon. On hearing that Shroeder was dead he wrote to Saigon for a letter referring to an agreement by which Schroeder was released from prison. The letter showed that deceased, owed 396,000 gold which he was to pay off by instal

Some of the holes at Hongkow are the most difficult of any course in Shang hai owing to the special hazards-by clumps of tries, ponds, paths, etc.—and it was on the whole & very good test of judgment and more especially of short play.

The reason is that in the first instance they are dealing with existing and ob servable facts and conditions, whereas in the second they are groping about in the region of visions and prophecies not based upon knowledge or experience. The Erst argument is founded upon truth, second upon error.

AMERICA'S EXAMPLE,

If there be a lurking fear on the part of labour" that the promotion of such a plan on an extensive scale would be anticipated by the present owning classes, who would decamp with their ill-gotten gains, or if behind all their bravado and pretended contempt for the capitalist there is a sneaking realisation" that his parasitic efforts are of real, and in fact vital importance in the organisation of production, and that such a movement would drive him from these shores, the answer is that any attempt to introduce real Socialisin would most certainly pro- duce this unwelcome result, whereas a gradual application of the stove ideas on a well-considered plan would probably meet with wide encouragement.

Everything depends on the "inevitabi- lity of gradualness," to borrow Mr. Sid- ney Webb'a phrase. The workers can. and will eventually, provide the capital required in the industry in which they are employed, as they are already doing ex- tensively in the United States of America, and as they are beginning to do in this

country.

The more the student examines the works of Socialists with an honest desire to appreciate their point of view, the more clearly he sees that the undoubted and glaring evils which exist are not br any means inherent in or necessary to
