Michael is beast. Can't we tow

Now the devoted Bob would havo
done much more for Miss Ireton than
to tow her car home, and he readily
consented. Bob skillfully managed
his wheels and handles and they pros

of the lights OF the lreton mansion.

Her words were a suggestion rather

Bob

CHAPTER VII.

CHAPTER VII.
Probably few golfers are aware that the
ancient game has taken root in Turkey
and that a golf club has been in existence
IN Constantinople for the last hFe years
This c1,,b owes its origin TO members OF the
British Embassy and few ot1cials. me
members play over the historic Yok
Madam. or Arrow Plain. short distance
outside Of Constantinople. The spot has been
for centuries q playground for the Sultans
and their suites. and many small marble
piIlars mark the distances Of phenomenal
shots with bow and arrow. While II may
be fitting that TO the men Of the long bow
golfers should succeed, it is to be hoped
they will not initiate the Turks by erecting
marble monuments in memory Of their
long drives.
Word has also been received to the effect
that a golf course is being laid out at
Algiers. where the English and the French
residents have made nine-hole course on
grounds overlooking the bay. a tine cIup-
house IN the Moorish style has been built
and the course is within ten minutes walk
OF the town. There are many GOOD courses
in France. one of the most picturesque
being that at HGrdelot- The water hole
Is one Of the most attractive of its kind
TO De found anywhere.
Recently the erstwhile open champion OF
Great BritaIr, Harry Vardon, visited Ire
land for the third time within year for
the purpose OF laying out golf links a
few months ago Vardon was in County
Cork attending 10 some green archtecturai
work there. and about year ago he was
at Iasdoonvarna, and subsequently at
Iahinch. where he spent an enjoyable holi-
day. Vardon has now been engaged to go
over Foxrock. and also TO lay out new
course IL County wicklow. Wicklow, be-
loved of the Dubliners as holiday resort,
offers many splendid opportunities for new
golf links. and the success which has at
tended the Greystone and the Woodenbridge
clubs should be an inducement or golf

The story is typical OF many West Indian
boys who fondly thought they could put

Somehow the idea has spread in the Carib-

the Northern cities are a paradise for the

being also more readily adaptable, has
made the greater progress.
