HOW TO PLAY GOLF.
A Few Rules That VIII Be of Assistanca
IN


to the Novice.
The most important thing, of course, is
the costume. After that comes the Scotch
accent. Both are expensive, but golf is
not poor mans game, you know. Then
buy or steal your golf clubs. There are ex-
actly 2, 347, 500, COS of them, but one will
do to start with. As to the costume, kits
should be worn if practicable, but the or
binary American or English golf suit will
attract sufficient attention to satisfy the
beginner.
When you arrive on the grounds, you
will remember what you have come for.
In case you forget some one will probably
remind you that it WASH to stand in his
way He will sometimes tell you this by
word of mouth and sometimes by meeting
your neck in the downward sweep of his
club. Both are impulsive movements, and
you will always remember if you live.
Don't be discouraged at hitting only the
atmosphere the first seven times you make
a drive with your weapon, your toe the
next IA times and the seat of bystander's
knickerbockers the next time after that,
but continue to persevere. In a month or
two you will be able to hit the ball and
land it into some bystanders mouth, and
then, oh, joy
Never pick up your ball in your hand,
drop it in hole when nobody is looking
and then shout, ''By .Jove, just look at
u
ally regarded as cheating. The etiquette
of the game is thus described:
First.-It is considered very bad form
for a player or spectator to talk, move or
breathe within 40 miles of the ball when a
stroke is being made. Tt is generally I'M
derstood that the earth stops spinning
around on its axis when game of golf is
going on for fear of jogging the player.
Second.-Players should not appear on
the grounds with golf stockings previously
worn while bicycle riding. This would ba
new pair of stockings, with different
plaid pattern, should be donned by every
player after each stroke at the ball This
does not apply to the lady players.
hird.-Turf cut or knocked up in the
air by blow that misses the ball should
be Instantly replaced, SO as not to spoil the
appearance of the links. Teeth of specta-
tors knocked out or skin damaged by wild
blows do not matter very nuch-unless
they belong to members of the same club
as yourself.
Fourth.-If a ball falls into pond,
lake or ocean, the player who made the
stroke must Immediately dive for it with
out removing his golf costume, and must
stay under water until the ball is found.
The fine against this violation of good
taste is forbidding the violator to turn
down the tops of his golf stockings more
than half an inch. This punishment is
seldom enforced, however, as it causes the
offender untold anguish of mind.
Fifth.-Gof should always be pro
nounced goff by those players who move
in the best society. For ordinary persons
it makes no difference. And on every &C.
casion should it be spelled with a capital

Passenger Agents Flock to Purcell
Where Ringling's Disbands Today.

There has been no call issued for a
meeting of general and travelling pas

ertheless- there is being one of the live
nest meetings ever held by those indi-
VlduaIs at that point today. The oc-

the passenger men is the possibility of

The circus will exhibit at Purcell on
the main line of the Santa Fe. TODAY.
and 1t has been planned for over
week that the show should disband
there The plan was known to General
Passenger Agent Black of the Santa Fe
II not really original with him, and
with the tact for which he is noted he
kept the matter quiet so that there
would be no question of the Santa F'e
securing the business. But in some way
information about the circus disband-
ing got abroad last night, and today a
score or more of passenger men of diff
Terent western roads are on their way
to Purcell to try and corral at least a
portion of the business for the various
roads they represent. Mr.. Black heard
that news of the plan had leaked out
