Among the special rules governing
stroke competition are:
If a competitor play from outside
the limits of the teeing ground the
penalty shall be disqualification.
When competitors ball is within
20 yards of the hole the competitor
shall not play until the flag has been
removed, under penalty of one stroke;
when both balls are on the putting
green, if the players ball strike his
opponents ball the penalty shall be
one stroke. The ball nearer the hole
shall, on request of the player, be
either lifted or holcd out at the OPP
ton of the owner. under penalty of
his disqualification. Through the
green competitor may have any
other competitors ball lifted, if he
finds that it interferes with his
stroke. Each competitor may have n
fOre-caddie. but may not receive adj
vice from him.

His Second stomach.

Smugglers' brains are proverblafly
fertile, and a clever expedient was once
adopted to import brandy into Paris
without paying the Octroi duties, says
the Golden Penny. For several weeks
a splendid elephant and his keeper be-
longing to a circus had constantly gone
in and out of one of the Paris gates.
when one day custom house officer
suddenly thrust his probe into the
creatures side. The spectators were
Mortified. but the elephant did not APP
pear to feel any pain, while from the
wound fell four tiny barrels of brandy.
The keeper, considering that a little
extra size in the unwleldy shape of his
change would not be noticed, had in
cased it's stomach in the old skin of a
larger elephant and had filed out the
space with brandy-a very profitable
enterprise.

stances, shall be dropped in the haz-
ard.
