The Old Course, stretched more or less to its full length and with fast fairwaye, is excellent good fun at present, and certainly the few extra yards make a very great dif ference. The more one plays it the more one realises what an admir.. able improvement the new back tes at Sandy's Pulpit is It now needs a realy first class shot to Bad the middle of the green, for now balls travel less ferociously up the final slope and almost always take a turn to left or right unless they are very true hit. Plenty of players have managed to be pin high on the left, or pin high on the right, but there are not very many so far who have been pin high on the pin, and to get a 3 from left or right of the green peeds very accurate pitching and putting. Except for the really big hitters it is quite a long way up to that green and ualeas one is right up on top the bottom of the pin is not visible and it is a very good or a very lucky pitch that goes dead. A 4 should be, I de not say is, still a comparatively easy figure to get, but a 3 has now become fiendishly difficult.

MACAO. RECREIO.

A hockey match was played be tween the Club de Recreio and the Macao Hockey Club on Sunday, at Macao.

The game started at a very fast pace which was maintained throughout. Recreio scored within. the first five minutes, but Macao attacked strongly and equalized just before half time, the teams crossing over at the interval with a score of 1/1.

The second half was hotly con- tested and seven goala-were scored, of which Macao claimed four and Recreio three, the game resulting in a victory for the Macao Hockey Club by the odd goal in nine.
