was very pleasant news to hear NO one
except a golfer and one who is familiar
with the game abroad may appreciate the
sensation, or rather, the shock, throughout
all ranks in Great Britain at the victory Of
an American in the amateur championship.
..Sandwich is a barren waste, suitable
for nothing but golf course that none but
an athletic golfer sure of his drives dare
venture on. The accommodations for play
ers and onloOkers We're typical-a fishing
village a few villas and a small hotel, with
the links TWO miles away. Ht uOuSt Vi tNc
st. Georges Golf Club is smaller and not
nearly SO well equipped as ours at the Gar
den City Golf Club, that has long been call
ed too small for comfort.
what impressed me most was the gath
ering of 800 or 400 of the finest men in the
united kingdom, comprising leadersin every
branch of professional and social life, who
were all expert golfers and keen enough on
the game to put up with all sorts of incon-
yeniences for a week in order to play in or
follow the amateur championship Here,
am afraid we would do much to make
the neighborhood comfortable that the links
would soon lose its character as a rugged
test of golf.
while golf is the game of the masses on
the public links of England and Scotland.

meetings are distinctly for the classes. The
men dress the part better than we do here.
Knickerbockers were worn by everybody,
and the variety of the outing suits possess

automobile and chauffeur always In walt

New York was badly outlucked in yester-

combinations of capitalists. The so- cialists exult in every failure of a strike, every disaster to trades un- ion, every stretch of authority by judge or governor against the working man. They are pointing to Colorado as the evidence that, even with pop ular majority on their side, and with the state legislature enjoined by the people to pass the necessary laws, not only are those laws for the benefit of labor not passed, but those who de- mand what the law aimed at, are treated as nuisances and as criminals by state authorities and their militia, at the bidding of capital. If this were what labor might expect in this country the socialists would be right, and the sooner such "a system of iniq- ulty and oppression were oyerthrown the better. 1t is ju& because these Colorado proceedings are contrary to American principles and laws that we are Justified in rejecting them.

SHOOTING AT BEECH BIRDS
Calls for the Display of More Skill Than Any Other Kana oI up-
 land Cunning.

When properly conducted, shore bird shooting may demand even more of the all-round skill than does any form of upland shooting, If there be among the beach birds easier marks than early cocks. bob whites or grouse, never have pulled on them, and I've combed several yards of beach at that, says writer in the Illustrated Sport ing News. Early in the season all np- land game flushes close to one's boots and, with the exception of the cock, usually flies straight away and very steadily, the speed gradually increas- ing as the birds advance Tn all gun work there is no easier proposition, plicity. Take your time, properly cover the bird and it's doom is sealed
 The wariest old rascal of them all Is the eurlew, as large as a domestic pigeon. These fellows usually move In very large flocks. and their rallying cry is long drawn, Quavering whistle. They are fat. strong birds, apparently almost tireless upon the wing, flying i'll rather close order, but the brown mass often changing formation with amaz- Ing facility.
 Upon one occasion lay on the sand and watched a huge flock manuevering far out over the lake for a little more than two hours, during which time not bird touched ground. At a distance the flock looked not unlike the smoke from steamers funnel. Again, the movement forcefully reminded me of a flight of passenger pigeons. Sometimes the veering cloud showed faint and re- mote, only to gradually draw nearer , till individuals showed almost within range and the air shook with countless pipings.
 At last, as if to reward sufficiently proved patience, the whistling thou sands bore straight for my hide As I rose to my knees the lot veered and streamed above the sand pit. Then for { seconds 1t seemed to rain curlew-- spat-spat-spat-spat.--all over the place.N A dozen were gathered to the two barrels and a few moments later 1 the distant cloud paled and vanished.

If the beet sugar farmers will raise their own seed Instead of importing it from Germany, says an exchange, or If they will establish q small raw SUI gar factory Ill each county, with q re- fining factory in tho center of the state, If they will feed the beet pulp to cattle and swine, and If they will raise fifteen tons of beets to the acre instead of the eight tons they are now averaging, Secretary Wilson, of the az ricultural department, is absolutely certain that they will put the cane sugar growers of the tropics ouA of business. For the present. NIT Wilson is consoling himself with thetexpecta- ton that the cane sugar planters, by their system of cultivating but sin gle crop will exhaust the fertility of their soil when the day of the beet su- gar farmers will come. This would seem to place the promise of substan- tial profit to the beet sugar interests pretty far in the future, but he refuses to De discouraged by anything So trif- ling.
