The Golf reporter of the Atlantic City
Press evidently had things alittle mixed,
for in his notes on the Saturdays games
at Mortified and Bar Harbor he says
"As compared to the gamss played at
the various links throughout the Coun-
try, this club not only holds up it's end
of the game but excels in most cases.
The lowest gross-score and the only one
below 90, made on the Country Club
links. on Saturday, was 81, whereas the
Bar Harbor Club shows four players,
who were below 90, one of whom was
80 and two others 91." The lowest
score is what all the golf players want
and not the highest, dear brother.

south coast She reports that on Tuesday
Boatswain's Mate Nevis went into Cortes
Bay with small schooner the Bancroft had
caught. He had orders to anchor there
while the Bancroft and Eagle chased a
strange smoke.
Nevis thought he would do little work
on his own account, and, seeing two small
craft in the bay, he hoisted the prize
schooner's Spanish flag, and with his
crew Of three men, sailed up to the first
boat, presented a pistol to the Captains
head, and demanded his surrender. The
Spaniard surrendered in haste. Nevis
caught the second boats crew in similar
style.
Meantime Captain Glover Of the Ban
croft, seeing the Spanish flag on Nevis's
ship, thought he had been recaptured. He
sent the lighthouse tender Maple to aid
them. The Maple found Nevis blandly sail
ing out with six prisoners and two small
schooners.

The nation whiA governs almost

The nation whiA governs almost
one-fourth of the earth's population,
and upon the whole governs well,
spends over two hundred millions an
nually upon sport, and has invested
in the same way an even greater sum,
comments Outing. Perhaps there is
no higher test of a mans all-round
abilities than his power to govern
wisely; at any rate, it is truth to be
borne in mind, in this connection,
that the governing races of to-day are
races of sportsmen. The people who
play games are inheriting the earth,
perhaps because it makes them meek.
AS a matter of fact, we think it does
just that, among other things. The
French do not play games, and Mr..
Benjamin Kidd has shown how the
population of France is steadily de-
creasing, the deaths having outnum-
bered the births there for several
years Spast. The Spaniards do not
play games, and travellers in end stu
dents of Spain, and the Spanish,
agree that their two most salient
characteristics are overweenirS pride
and cruelty. The Chinese despise
unnecessary physical exercise, and
can scarcely be driven to fight, ever
for their country, and their lack 0.
