expenditure of each player. on sub- scriptions, railways fares and caddie fees, one immediately arrives at the clossal sum of f3.50o.000. This. how ever is a very much underestimated amount. as most players nowadays be- long to three or four clubs. while en- thusiasts can claim membership with five or six
 This f3,500.00o, however. represents only a fraction of the money spent by golfers A very fair estimate of the expense in the matter of balls is five shillings week per player. Some kind of balls and do not play more than once or twice a week may not spend more than two or three shillings week. On the other hand. many men spent ten or twelve shillings a week. This implies that the nations golf bill amounts annually to f7,000,000
 By decrees golf clubs, as they pros- per, are putting up commodious and handsome buildings. where ample ac- commodation is provided for persons who desire to sleep the night there.
 This Is regarded by many interested in such institutions as the thin end of the wedge, of the American country club idea. That is to says the club house in the country. where the jaded dwellers in cities can recuperate at the weekend. golf being the chief recrea- tiorf and attraction
 There is practically not a case at tho present time of golf club In difdcul- ties. Various trades may call out thout the stress of hard times. but the fi- nance of all that appertains to golf has never been in such flourishing con dition.

Orders Court Martial Against Haxers
 nt Annapolis.


 Washington, Dec. 26.--Secretary Ronaparte has made the first move to- ward the detail of the court martial for the trial of Midshipmen Coffin and vandever on charges connected with the hazing of Midshipman Kimbrough by ordering four naval offic vs to pro- ceed to the Naval Academy and per- form duty on the court martial
 Under the law and regulations Ad- miraI Sands. superintendent of the academy must himself appoint the court, but in this case it is believed to- be desirable to have on the court some officers not directly attached to the establishment and therefore free from the influence from the local at mosphere. So at Admiral Sands re- quest, the secretary today designeNi these officers to proceed to Annapolis; Captain Corwin. Commander V. s. Nelson, tenant-Commander Horace W. H. Harrison, and Lieutenant John w. Timmons.
