II the origin OF golf dates as far

game Is not such recent Importation
as most people seem to think Curt
ously enough, the earliest reference TO
golf in America is found. as it is in
Scotland. In bylaws prohibiting it as
being a public nuisance. IL certainly
must have been played In New York
state 2i0 years ago. for In hunting back
among the old ordinances Of the New
Netherlands colony, Josiah Newman OF
New York city has discovered the fol-
lowing reference. which seems to place
the origin OF the game here beyond
question as early as 1859. 1t is a rather
remarkable passage. and is given here
in full: The W. commissary and COM
missaries OF Fort Orange and village
OF Beverwyck. having heard divers
complaints the burghers OF this place,
against playing at golf along the
streets. which causes great damage to
the windows of the houses and exposes
people TO the danger of being wound
ed. and is contrary to the freedom OF
the public streets; therefore their wor-
ships. wishing to prevent the same, for
bid all persons playing golf on the
streets, on pain of forfeiting f. % for
each person who shall be found doing
So" This certainly dIsposes OF the
claim of the Montreal Golf club to
being the first to introduce golf in
America.
