British servant The Onlooker saws the
householders now have to study the
comfort of their domestics as much as
their obn. and quotes one country
house where "a set of rooms is specially
allotted to them for recreation. compris-
ing ballroom, music room. library and
billiard room. in which marker is kept

oils. the American golfer. who defeated
the English crack. Peter Paxton.
Thursday. Nichols, who is of English
birth. returned here after having
passed many years in America. The
Totting Bee Golf Club compelled him
to lunch in the workshop. though the
members were glad to face the Decem-
Der storm to witness his play. Nichols;
said. Had | never been i'm America
and witnessed the lavish kindness be-
slowed on Vardon and other English
players ! might not have resented this
treatment. but you may be assured |
will never remain in England long and
If it were not for meeting Braid Satur-
day. who is a personal friend. | would
not play on another English link. You
may depend on it. Vardon Will not re-
main here long, for I know he will be
unable 10 stand this sort of thing after
the kindness he has received in the
United States
Tne curious thing about it all is that
America will soon outstrip England not
only in golf playing but in the manu-
facture of golf equipment. for they are
getting the best talent in England
which. under better auspices. is sure
to outstrip the home talent"
