ENGLISH GOLF STORIES.
Some of the Yarns Told In Britain's
$500 Club Houses.

There arc nearly 800 golf club hous IS
in Great Britain and the Strand Maya
Zinc is trying to discover the funniest Of
the golf stories which are told in these
haunts. Andrew Lang offers the follow
ing as his contribution:
"A determined player got into sand
pit and for a long time all that his OPP
ponent saw of him was only distinguish
able through the dense clouds of sand
made by the violent action of nblick.
eat last the, resolute veteran emerged
from the pit, and his opponent. without
expressing any surprise or coincidence or
annoyance at the delay. merely asked
him how many he had played. Evident
ly the other was not in revealing mood
II went into that place he replied
Jelly, at quarter to ]. You are at lihar-
ty. sir. to form your own estimate.
The scene of another yarn was the
links at Westward Ilo where two play
ers We're driving off from the fifteenth
hole. one of them WAS possessed of a
quiet. pawky kind of humor. while the
other was of the hit high and often
order.
Not knowing the course. the slasher
asked his partner for the line of the hole
and was told to play on to DR.. SIS
house which was pcrched on the sky
line. The slasher let out, and his ball
was skied to an enormous height
"You mistook me- said the quiet one.
81 meant his earthly. not his heavenly
habitation."
on the course at Biarritz there is q
certain hole which can be reached in one
shot from the tee. The green. however
is blind, lying over the crest Of a hill.
1t is therefore customary to send n cad
die forward to mark the ball.
on one occasion Il golfer hit y good
straight shot over the hill. the ball drop
ping dead on the line for the hole. Great
was his rejoicing when coming up the
hill to hear his caddie shouting that the
ball WAS in tho hole: indeed. the player
WAS 50 pleased (nevcr having performed
the feat beforeD that he made tAe cad1ie
a present of five francs.
The sequel of this event is remarkable
III" story goes On that on the following
day no fewer than seven players o.
reaching this particular green found
thnv had hhled out from the tee.
The occasionally enlvening effect Of
golf was demonstrated in the case of an
elderly Indian colonel whose boast it was
that he had a very tranquil disposition
which nothing could rufe. He took w
golf, and for d long time his friends
failed to notice any disturbance of the
colonef's outward calm. hut one day
when PLAYING 2 foursome he got into 2
notorious Devils Punchbowl bunker and
spent a terrible fifteen minutes trying
to find his ball and then to play it ont

In his letter Mr.. Kotzschmar saws

The department was informed, and
they ordered a special car, with bar

and had Thurber bring the seals into
