like the Race club course, the links

Here it is where internecine golfing
warfare is waged. Here, where the
comfy of nations sometimes gets
skewgeed; as, for example, when some
Nipponese from Toxic defeats an

siastic golfer arrives on the scene.
Race week." at Kiangwan affords
a perplexing problem for the golfer.
In the fall, tennis has been ushered
