NEGRO cADDIEs DOWN SOUTH.
0bliging and Cheerful Helpers the Visit
ing Golfer Finds Them.

The winter resort golf players meets
a refreshing novelty in the negro Caddy.
Sometimes the boy" is a grizzled old
fellow rising 80. who totes the bag of
clubs about with the alacrity of youth.
The caddies come in all sizes from &
feet or more with the muscular build of
prize, fighter down to lads just about
able to handle the bag; but no matter
what his age or size, the negro caddy has
infinite ability to be cheerful He doesn't
adopt the somewhat cynical manner of
the white caddy and his manners are
better.
For another thing the black lad ordi-
narily has the eye of a hawk and traces
the balls with marvellous sureness. One
caddy said he hadn't lost ball i'll the
two years he had been caddying, which
is remarkable record.
The negro caddy comes into his work
with an amiable idea that he is the
partner of his employer. The ball is
ours" Whose ball is that near the
PM" asks the golfer. That's ours. sir, ;"
the caddy says.
When the golfer gets off good long
bah from the tee, the caddy does a lot Of

bah into the cup, too in much the. same
way but his sense of etiquette is too
strong TO permit him TO make any noise
while the play is actually being made.
No matter how much of dub he has
for a boss at the time, he doesn't sneer or
say anything impertinent, which is re,
lief to the player from up north. who
knows the unpleasant habits of some Of
the white caddies The only bad habit
the boy has is to gamble on the result of
the match he's accompanying. 1t can be
seen what test of cheerfuness it is for
him when his player is a dub and misses
