ABOUT READY TO PLAY GOLF
CLUBS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD BEGIN
MING THEIR ACTIVITY.

IMPROVEMENTS MADE IN THE LINKS-THE ST.
ANDREWS Observation-Disclosures M
PRovEMsNrs IN THE MORRIS
COUNTY GROUNDS.
With great regularity the golf season in this
neichborhood opens every year at almost the
same time. that is. in the two weeks between the
middle Of April and the first Of May. Some clubs
olways occupy a longer time than others In their
S, ring preparations. but there are few which. by
the later date mentioned have not got their sea-
son fairly under way. The fine weather of the
last few weeks has been unusually favorable In
permitting steady work uron the various courses.
so that at all the clubs the members will begin
playing this year upon grounds which are in
much better shape than they generally are at
his season The only comment necessary upon
the prospects OF golf in 1897 may be made in
the statement that since last year not one club
out Of the scores belonging to the United States
Golf Association was diSbanded that. on the con-
trarv nearly every one has increased it's men,
tershp many Of them being obliged. in conse-
ouence to enlarge their accommodations; and
that dozens Of new clubs are coming into ex-
,stence every month. Ii is confidently predicted
everywhere that both of the amateur champion
ship tournaments this year, the mems contest to
be held at Chicago. and the women's at Man.
chester Mass. will bring out entry lists larger
than ever before.
Among the more important clubs by virtue OF
its seniority first mention is usually accorded to
ST Andrews when golfins progrG mines are under
consideration 1t generally deserves this also on

A few months ago, a young
man, the son of naturalized
American citizen, was arrested
while on a visit to Germany and
forced into the army. Although
he protested against his treat
ment, nothing was done for him
by the American representatives
abroad. Quite recently he was
brutally struck by the sergeant
of his company, and in retaliation
he knocked his assailant down.
To escape the severe punishment
which would be meted out to him
for this offense, he fed from his
garrison and sought refuge in
| the American consulate. This
proved but a poor asylum, as the
American Consul promptly ad
vised him to give himself up tc
the authorities, advice which he
was perforce compelled to follow
