GOLF COMPARATIVELY NEW

Golf in America. writes RAYMOND

NJ done IN public places by the best

when he choea Central Park, New
York. to practice the game learned N
is native town IF Dunfermline, Scot
lend. That enterprise got him ar
rested. John Reid, who had also come
- New York from Dunfermline, got
oclhard free from the police. Reid
and Lockhard put on their Knockers
and went TO Yonkers. There the
citizens were more hosuitable. and the
original twosome gradually expandea

which in 1883 became the first organ
lied golf club in the United States
the st. Andrews Club now established
at Mt. Hope, New York.
-Four centuries before the episode
in Central Park. the forebears OF
Lockhard and Reid were playing the
game in Scotland. There it became a
national sport. and was dignihed with
the attempts of parliament TO iegis-
late IL out of existence with ordinanc-
es that it be utterly cryit doune and

Despite the objections of the civil
authorities in Scotland, the game per.
sisted, and the increasing number OF
PLAYERS made possible the organiza-
ton of clubs, among them the Edin-
burgh Burgess Golfing Society in
1875. the HONORABLE Company OF
Edinburgh Golfers in 1744, and the
famous Royal and Ancient Club OF
st. Andrews in 1754-the club that
set the fashion in rules for the Ameri-
can game. When the game was

Putnam patriot., 1928-07-19

rs the old chronicle tells us, the saint
protested weeping Nothing Is re-
corded which tells of the rain falling
for forty days That was probably a
later discovery, and shows the legend
grew from the accident of a wet day
when the translation Of the saints
bones took place"
st. Swithin was a bishop Of VIII
chester and chancellor of England un-
der the great King Alfred. lie was a
man of the utmost piety as well as
sanctity. Just before he died he inn
piored the monks not 10 bury him as
bishops were always buried, in the
chaneel of the church, but outside its
walls, in the churchyard. He was too
lowly a person, he insisted, TO deserve
the honor Of burial within the sacred
precincts His wishes were respect
ed, and his body was laid to rest in
the ground in front of the church,
where II remained whole century.
Miracles Wrought
I But miracles were wrought upon the
bishops grave and other signs of di-
vine favor were so multiplied, that the
monks were scandalized that so holy a
man should be allowed TO remain in
the churchyard where only clowns and
sinners were buried. So July rs, OIL,
was set apart for the removal OF the
body, but on that day a mighty rain
storm burst forth and continued with
out intermission forty days. The
monks concluded that heaven was dis
pleased with this violation of the bish-
xsfta IraofauA -
moving his body to new tomb, they
built chapel over IL, where il lay.
Such is the legend. But history
does not corroborate 1t, and authentic
records inform us that the bishops
body was finally transferred from the
churchyard 10 the church itself on
July Is, 1901, in a splendid sarcopha-
gus.
So it has come to pass that IL is
declared II il rains on ST. Swithin's
Day. then IL will continue forty days
and nights.
The common adage in regard TO
Swithin's Day is to the effect that as
il rains or is fair, there will be con-
tinuous stretch Of wet or dry weather
for the forty days ensuing This was
expressed in an old rhyme:
ST Swithin's Day. II thoG dost rain,
For forty days il viii remain;
St. Swithin's Day, II thou be fair,
For forty days twill rain nae mair.
The belief is thus alluded TO in Poor
Robins Almanac for 1897;
In this month Is St. Swithin's Day,
on which, IL that II rain, they say,
Full forty days after il will,
Or more or less, some rain distil.
In various other European countries
similar belief prevails, but II is asso-
ciated with other days and saints. In
+ France, for instance, St. Menard' 8
Day (June 81 and the day of Saint
Gervais and Saint Protais (June i0)
correspond to St. Swithin's Day.
I S'il pleut le jour de Saint Menard.
II pleut quarante jours plus tard;
Sill pleut ie jour Saint Gervais et de
Saint Protais.
II pleut quarante jours apres.

This road is in deplorabe condition in many places
and IN addition to the evereXiStng danger which this
road offers to motorists 1--WE refer to danger too we'll
known to need commenD driving is made doubly dan
gerous.
Not all valley residents know that Calexco high
way Is not part of the state highway system BY all
means should be- CaleXco being the southern termi-
nus of the trunk line that bsecs the state lengthwse
There is much traffic over this particular
ton and not all of 1t Is represented by those seeking
returning from diversion at MeXicali Even those who
are so occupied are entitled to drive good roads
The chamber of commerce has referred the mat
ter to the board of supervisors and while that body
should take steps to negotiate an agreement for a6
