the ball has to be considered before choos- ing the club and playing the stroke.
 Lang's meaning was not that the ball could; be aid dead to the hole 1t could be showed in with almost any club in the bag
 The running-up stroke with the mashie is peculiarly useful under certain oircum- stances. If there is small rise before the putting green, so near the hole that ball lifted over it would inevitably run over the gren, though the ball were cut ever so shrewdly, then it is almost necessary to run the ball up. That may, of course, be done with butter if the ground that the ball has to traverse is smooth and even all the way; but that does not always hap pen. Often what happens !; !hat immed- lately in front of the ball the ground is rough, even if not distinctly hazardous; indeed it seldom ocurs that the ground just before the baN is SO smooth at any considerable distanc from the hole that a butter can safely be used. With the maShie the ball is sent away with low flight by cutting close behind it, never ris- ing more than a yard from the ground, and so carrying the rough ground yet still when it pitches having a deal of force left in it to take it running on up the little incline and so across the plateau to the hole

SPORTY FEATURES
 IN GAME OF GOLF
Trying Times in Ditch or Ravine When You Must Use Your
 Mashie and NibIick.

By James Laing, Crescent A. c. Profess
 sional
 After the drive from the tee the driver is carefully restored to the bag and Is not brought into play again until the ball has been holed out and the teeing ground for the next hole has been reached.
 It ds between the tee and putting green where every club invented for the use of golf is brought into play. The driver is supposed to rule supreme over all tee shots unless the hole be so short that a click or midiron has to be called into play for fear of overdriving the hole, while the butter is the absolute monarch of the put ting green.
 The driver and butter therefore mark the start and finish of the play at each hole, while the other clubs play their part in the interim. The driver and butter play an active part in the game, even though they are only used at the start and finish of each hole
 In case a hole is from four to six hundred yards long, the brassey or sleek is liable to play an active part, everything depending upon the lie. If it should be good the

MY FIRST TIME
 ON THE STAGE
BY STUART ROBSON.

My first appearance on the stage was not complete success. I was a boy in Balt!- more- My companions were Frank c. Bangs, John Wilkes Booth and Theodore Hamilton. I saw but little of Edwin Booth. He, being several years older than any of us, naturally resented a close com panlonsfip. The only time I ever came in close contact with him was once when he and my Ibig brother and J. S. Clark gave performance of The Shivering Idiot,' a very sad play in seven acts dn big gar ret room of my fathers house. 1 remem- Der there was a placard on our back gate which read: Boys, three cents; small boys, two cents.
 For some slight offense my mother had prohibited my appearance in the garret that afternoon, but ambition will mount, you know so up I went. Edwin Booth had the heavy role, and it was the duty of his brother Wilkes to tie him to a tree and saw his leg off, assisted by the full strength of our very powerful company"
 It was my part to raise an axe, which had been previously covered with stage blood, and chop his head off to slow music banjo, triangle and bones. I stepped for ward spoke my little piece if l meant it, and fercely raised the axe, when heard my mother coming upstairs and calling for me Tn tones that promised a light wind, followed by sharp gae''
 I dropped the axe and fled the indignant actors after me with reproaches for break ing up the show, and the audience-six boys and three girls-clamoring loudly for the return of their admission fees. My mother withdrew me tendery to the priv acy of her own apartments, where she ad- ministered an argument which cured me, for a time at least, of the fever which Voltadre says attacks every member of the human race.

brassey will be used, and if bad the cleek will be called upon. When the distance to be gained is hardly sufficient for full cleek shot the midiron is brought into play.
 The sportiest feature in the game of golf is the playing through the far green, or that portion of the hole between the drive from the tee and the putting green.
 It is in this section where all obstacles Me and where the greatest precaution is necessary. As rule, there is rough ground of some sort, if not ravine, ditch, stream or bunker necessary to be carried to the drive, and the hole is not considered good unless there is punishment of some sort for a topped drive, which is a com mon occurrence when a player becomes careless and takes his eqe off the ball even for an instant.
 It is at thds juncture the other clubs are brought into play, according to the
