the grounds were thronged with vehicles and
traps Of all sorts and descriptions, ranging from
the aristocratic four-in-h hand down to the more
plebeian blackboard. while the driveway and
lawn facing the Punch Bowl we're packed With
spectators eager to see the play. The conditions
required each player to make two rounds Of the
seven holes, or fourteen in all, and the player
making 1t In the fewest number of strokes was

strokes but came to grief IN driving up the hol

lost his ball in the hollow and forfeited two |
strokes, ~ did James III. Darrach.
