brought immediate suit and was
appealed to the appellate division of
the supreme court and was granted a
new trial upon the ground that, if he
established his proof, he was entitled
to recover substantial damages for
the use of the club of which he had
beer deprived through the negligence
of the express company.
The express company took he
ground that a golf stick was so UNI
important a matter that they were not
to be expected to expedite it's delivery.
The decision of the court establishe |
two points, viz. FRAT the company
had no right to discriminate as to the
value of a shipment, and, thai even
ti.'ugh an article be merely an instru-
ment of recreation, il may have 2
alu of use to the owner which
could not be estimat ID in dollars and
cents. The express company asked
for a stay upon the trial proceedings.
but the plaintiff having established
the principle pon which he brought
the first suit; namely, that the eNp"rss
company could be held responsible and
had no power to discriminate. declined
to bring the suit, the termination Of
which, if adverse, might reverse the
decision of the appellate court. SO it
happens hat SC small an instrument
as a golf stick was the means of Sc
curing a decision which will stand as
a precedent against express COM
panies for negligence IN future de-
~liveries of all classes of shipments
Golf is really a Scottish game, and,
with a few minor exceptions. is
played according to the rules and laws
of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club
of st. Andrews which was founded in
1774. 1t was played by a few persons
in America as far back as colonial
times, but was comparatively I'M
known here until the ST. Andrews
club opened its links at Yonkers, New
York, in 1886. In 1890 it was little
heard of, but by 1906 it had so spread
in popularity that there is no longer
a city or town of large size in the
country which has not its golf links,
