1-The idea of letter golf is to change one word to another and lo it in par, a given number of strokes. Thus to change COW to HEN, in thres strokes, Cow, HOW, HEW, HEN.

-You can change only one letter.at a time.

You must have a complete word, of common usage, for each jump. Slang words and abbrevia tions don't count.

WHY LIEGE STOOD FIRM.

MONUMENT TO MAN WHO FORESAW ATTACK.

Brussels, May 27. King Albert has just presided at the unveiling of a statue to General Brialmont, whose splendid work for Belgium was never appreciated during his lifetime.
