Certainly one cannot blame this division for the whole season. the course, which is if anything and although the first team was expected to win without much playing better and better every difficulty, they had week. The rough now, except in the most impossible places, treats one quite kindly, while the fair ways are excellent.

The number has been of players going out steadily increasing for a week of two now, and quite a number were staying out at the Club House over the week-end. Then too starting times for Foaling on Sundays and Holidays are to begin next Sub day, and the free and easy feeling of the summer months, when ons could start more or less when one liked, and play fast or slow ne the spirit moved one, will soon be gone. So far as this cures slow lp play it is an advantage in every goll way, for dawding round a .coarse, a habit into which it is very easy to fall in the hot wea- ther, does not do much good to anyone's game.

Mr. and Mrs. Glover had already penetrated into the interior 1,000 miles beyond any point reached by a white woman, and some idea of what they have endured is given in Mrs. Glover's present message, which was received, dated 19th, from Carnot, Ubangi-Shari- Chad, French Equatorial Africa.

It is alleged that Ferri's idea was to enter the Casino at night after it had been closed, and put a small but powerful magnet into one or two of the roulette bowls, and that Bonsignore, a croupier of the Casino, had arranged to have Ferri admitted clandestinely to the Casino by a watchman. In the meantime the management of the Casino had been secretly informed of the plot, and in the early hours of July 24th, after Ferri had secured admittance to the saloons,
