strokes, plays with an accuracy and
finish of stroke equaled by but few

her net score of 63, or three strokes

that the entry list for the match was

One Good Turn Deserves Another.

A Scotch farmer, celebrated in his
neighborhood for his immense strength
and skill in athletic exercises, very fire.
quently had the pleasure of contending
with people who came to try their
strength against him. Lord D., great
pugilistic amateur, went from London
on purpose to fight the athletic Scot.
The latter was working in an enclosure
at little distance from his house when
the noble lord arrived. His .lordship
tied his horse to a tree and addressed
the farmer. Friend, l have heard
marvellous reports of your skill, and
have come a long way to see which of
us two is the better wrestler" The
Scotchman, without answering, seized
the nobleman, pitched him over the
hedge, and then set about working
again. When Lord D. got up, well
said the farmer, ~have you anything
to say to me ~ No. replied his lord
ship, but perhaps you'd be good
enough to throw me my horse. Pub
