Thrills Golf Fans
BY SOL METZGER.

Bobby Jones was fighting that
second day at Oakmont this past
June and a great gallery piled
along with him as he made his bid
and later fell far behind in his
quest for the u. S. Open. On the
fifth hole Bobby made his most
spectacular effort. A long drive
pushed to the right wound UP in a
furrowed trap and his explosion
failed to get it out. Then came a

Marshal Haig Gets Truth.

Brown has a brace Of good stories
about Andy Kirkaldy, the Scotch vet,
eran, who is said to have been one of
the headiest golfers that ever lived.
One day Andy was playing round
with Field Marshal Haig, the British
commander in the World War.
Haig isn't much of golfer. On one
hole he was particularly bad, and
Andy couldn't contain himself.
Its a good thing you're a better
general than golfer" he said, 'or God
help the country"
On another occasion the old fellow
was having a round at st. Andrews
with the Bishop of hampton. On the
fourteenth hole the bishop got into a
terrible lie in the He'll Bunker.
Andy handed him his niblick and
waited for the worst. However. the
bishop played the best shot Of the day,
almost holing out.
"Egad," quoth Andy. hold on to
that club to your dyin' day. 1t may
help you out in the next world

near edge of the green, 40-odd feet
fr ON the pin--and a great din of
applause.
When Bobby reached the green
he found his ball just to the left of
a ridge that ran toward the pin.
The cup was also to the left of this
ridge, on a slope away from the
top. Bobby had an ugly putt, for
those greens were fast. Taking a
bit of time to study the line, he
next engaged himself in stroking
the ball. Bobby stands with feet
well together, legs straight but not
stiff, elbows turned out and wrists
and fingers in control. His putt is
pendulum like. His stance is some
what open. This putt held the
ridge line perfectly until about a
foot from home, then it gently took
the down hill curve and fell in for
q par 4, as spectacular a par as
was played at Oakmont, all .hings
considered.

Character Changes

Since 1890 the character of the fair has changed. The different agri- cultural societies have commercial ized them. Business enterprises in the towns in which the fairs were being held made an effort to further their own interests at the expense of the crowd. While the fair as such failed financially, liberal contribu- tions were made from year to year by those whose business interests profted by the wide open town.
 "The purpose of the fair-to aid agriculture for the betterment of both rural and urban life-must be borne in mind. The fair must be an educational institution and cannot be commercialized if any benefits are expected to be derived from it. While the purpose of the

H. w. A1bertS Addresses Agricultural Fair
 At Juneau

Prof. H. w. Alberts, head of the United States Experimental Stations in Alaska, one of the speakers on last nights program at the South eastern Alaska Fair, gave an inter- esting talk on the history of fairs, entitled Fairs and Fairs in Gen. eral."
 Agricultural fairs in this coun- try were first organized more than 100 years ago." said MT. Alberts. "The first fair held in the United States was an exhibition at Wash ing, D. C., lasting three days, begin ming October IF, 1894. In 1909 the State of New York appropriated $2O,OOO for two years to be divided among county agricultural societies. Since that time the legislatures in the different states have appropriat- ed funds for agricultural exhibitions
 Golden Age
 What may be called the golden age of agricultural fairs, extend ing for a period of approximately 20 years, was from 1850 to 1870. During this period the agricultural fairs were the predominating form of associated effort among the farm CTS. gE
 'They performed a great ser vice in diffusing new ideas, in cre- ating an atmosphere of social unity, and in introducing better methods of farming, new types of stock, grains and fruit, and in furthering the use of farm machinery. The educational feature was prominent. Tn Massachusetts,, for instance, men like Webster, Everett, Emerson, and Thoreau delivered addresses. The affair often included horse racing and was gala day, but it had a se- rious purpose and did a great work It was, for all this period, the chief institution for the formation and for the conservation of rural inter- ests.
