One of the notable features of the golf

an encouragement of social club life. An

work so hard az a rule that they do not
take life very seriously in their hours of
leisure. He began TO address them on ht-
erature. and you will presently be able to
imagine the sort Of stun he talked: It was
not long before he touched on George Mer-
edith and expressed opinions which might
have caused an outburst. Instead Of tets
some one suggested deferentiaily that he
talked too generally. that he would be bet
ter comprehended IL he illustrated his Views
by a reference to any one of the nove is.
He thought the suggestion a wise one. and
left the choice OF the book to his audience.
The original proposer of this eminently rea-
sonable plan Immediately suggested Tess
of the D'UrbervfIles." and the other went
ahead, obligingly accepting the choice.
What he said does not need to be recorded,

Americas Natural TrottorS

FROM the Illustrated Sporting News
VI our American animals the moose oil,

native wilds they frequently travel very
Iast and for long distances, but when taken
young, trained and driven to harness. they
seldom show much speed. Near the border
line between Maine and Quebec 1 saw a
young bull caribou hooked to a rough LITTLE
cart This caribou was docile enough. and
would willingly jog along the road for short
distances, but it showed no spirit In fact.

better. This specimen was captured I'm

ness, as two-year-oid. He behaved quite
Wen on the road. and appeared rather to
ENJOY the task of drawing his owner about

Automobile Cars in France

The trials Of the automobile cars by the

many years are past we may see the pres
ent costly system Of railway travelling by
long trains badly filed and running at wide
intervals largely given up for a greater
number of small automobile trains well
filled and running oftener. On suburban
and metropolitan lines especially. but also
on such lines as that from London to
Brighton. there might be a regular success

hour without any difficulty.
