LIST GOLF.

Memorial Day and the day follow ing saw many dcvotees of the ancient and honorable game of golf faithfully trudging over the links at the Shuttle Meadow country club exulting in a long shot or good going for several holes and Respondent over a slice or a pull developed for the day, seemingly, and killing the game. For versatility, to the average player, that sport is un- eXcelled in the animate or inanimate world, wherein lies it's attraction we suspect It seems a simple matter to many people to hit a ball, and hit it again until it rolls down d hole. It isn't-it surely isn't. Ask any golfer anywhere. If he tells you how easy it is for him, watch him play. Then ask him again.
 The city, through good mana cement and good fortune, has one of the finest golf courses in New England in it's Shuttle Meadow links. There could not be selected a more ideal situation for the scenic beauties and adapta bill ity than has been made. The profess sonals who laid out the course have chosen well which is proved by the rapidly growing membership of the club. Many of the members come from adjacent cities which have courses of their own and several of them have given up all club conncc- tions with any but the local organiza- tion which speaks volumes for the | course here. It is a valuable asset to New Britain and one which should not be ignored by the citizen, be he | golfer, dub or one who has not yet at 1 tempted the game at all.

The Ccrcay Papers.
(Ncw, York Tribune)

says one clause Of the treaty:
 "The German government also is to restore 10 the French government cer- tain papers taken by the German au- thoritics in 1870, belonging to Mir. Rouher."
 Eugene Rouhcr, the Eugene Kou- gon of Zola's novel, was the most in .timate friend of Napoleon III. and one ,of the chief organizers of the san guinary coup d'etat of 1851, by which the prince president became emperor. A species of Colonel House, ROuhCr for the next twenty years was the only contidant of the crowned adNenturer of the TuilericS trusted with all sC- crets But Napoleon lived in fear of the Paris mob, and if his fall came did not want his private papers to be seized. So they were intrustcd to Rou- her. who stored them in his chateau at CerCaN.
 When the war came, in 1870, Uh- lanS reached the chateau before it was stripped. Packing cases were found. and examination showed something important uncovered. off went the documents to Bismarck, and it is re- putCd that after a short session With them the old fellow came out smiling and whiStIing. almost dancing. Soon after the London Times was furnished with copies of a letter written by Ben Cdeti concerning a project for the annexation of Belgium to France and of LuNcmburg by Prussia. This pub HcatiOn closed tho door to any hope that Great Britain would go to the aS- Sistanrc of France, and if Great Brit ain did not, Austria Hungary did not dare The CcrCay letters had much to do with the terms Bismarck was able to impose.
 But in other respects their influence was greater. For a long time the southern German states were unwll- ing to consent to u German empirc in which Prussia should be master. Their rulers intrigued with Napoleon and with .Au$tria- II HungarN between 1866 and 1870. The CCrCaN documents, al- though never published, were suppOs- cd to include evidence that made it impossible for the rulers of the south Crn German states tO resist Bsmarck's arguments. Mysterious interviews took place, and men who had been in dependent became subservicnt In the then state or German popular opinion they knew bismarck could drive them from tL siIa1 ,rones.
