NEW YEAR Vandals On Horseback: For Collecting Money

The British Red Cross

(By "Birdie")

ONE COULD NOT HAVE WISHED for finori weather than that of the New Year holidays. Tho course at Sheungshiu looked very fine under the brilliant sun, but its lovely surface was the cover- ing of a hard and sub baked soil. Puffs of "smoke' signalled where the ball had fallen. A little extra covering of sand on the greens, however, made thom quite playable.

In weather such as this it is difficult keeping the course in good playing condition, and I can assure the two "sportsmen" on horseback who galloped over the course on New Year's day from one end to the other that the Club does not need their efforts to till the soil. Unfortunately, the course had only a few players thereon, and these two "gentlemen" were out of range of both voice and ball.

There could be no question that they had not re- cognised a golf course, and indignation in the club house
