Golf playing in the city Seems TO be
| growing more and more popular. And
| there is no knowing what very healthy
| specimens the people OF Richmond will
| become after induging in such healthy
as well as pleasant, game. II is said
that in the seventeenth century Queen
| Elizabeth and her mobiles, in plumes and
velvets, used 10 spend much OF their
leisure time on the golf links, and that
| the royal lady's temper seemed much
sweetened thereby. And Charles the
| First. too, was a devoted player. on
his visit to Scotland in 164 no was
| playing on the Leith links, when init
nation was given him Of the rebellion
in Ireland and he then went 10 Holy
| rood in much agitation. In the year
1884, in the city OF Richmond, there are
! some very fine players, and two very
advantageous golf-links. The links out
| by the Deep Run Hunt Club are now
about finished, and there is some talk
| Of celebrating the opening of the ground
! by a golf-players' tea. Another piece or
news from the Hunt Club is that the
| ladies whose husbands belong TO the
| club, and who frequently take advan-
tage Of the comforts and pleasures Of
fered by the organization, plan to pre-
sent the gentlemen with a handsome
flag. The design of the flag is TO be Il
diamond-co red. In accordance with
! the picturesque hunting fashion. on a

the East" at that time. and then will
return 10 the city by the goth. in order
not 10 lose the exciting races TO take
| place at the Deep Run Hunt Club. New
York is Just now acting as magnet
on a number OF our citizens who da
not care either for races or horse shows.
These are chiefly ladies who do not be-
hold the lilies OF the field, but do think
| that the shops OF New York can AFFORD
