It is always irritating to putt this score only enabled Alex Smith to on bad greens, and the greens are so bad at Van Cortlandt that what hap- pens upon them may be unhesitatingly ascribed to luck rather than to skill. It was pathetic and at the same time droll to watch some of our best profes- sionals—especially those who are strong on putting—when they came to the greens. They glanced at tin- hole in a perplexed manner, for there were miniature mountains to be tra- versed before the ball reached it. The player realized that when he was on the green he was really in the rough, and taking his midiron, or mashie, or niblick, he tried to play out into the hole. All this might be avoided if the care of the links was confided by the city to a competent greenkeeper who should have power to employ anyone he oleased regardless of political con- siderations.

So also in "ye royal and antient game of golf," the fine cigar, the choice cigarette and the fragrant pipe mixture form no inconsiderable portion of the pleasures of the game. The healthy exercise renders the palate peculiarly sensitive and critical, and a desire is felt for something better than "the usual" in the way of cigars and tobacco. To meet this par- ticular need and the increasing demand for something better, Messrs. Benson & Hedges are now importing the finest Cabinet Havana cigars, such as are usual- ly shipped to Euro]) .\ The Yillar y Yillar, Cabanas La Corona, La Flor de Cuba, ami LI. Upmann v Ca. The most celebrated of the Havana factories pack their finest cigars in cabinets of 500 to 10,000, the very cream of the Havana, costing from $35.00 to $60.00 per 100. Likewise, Messrs. Benson & Hedges import the finest cigarettes from Egypt or roll them at their Xew York establishment, choice Gubecks only being used for the purpose ($2.50 to $10.00 per 100). Their imported smoking mixtures, used for many years by English golfers, are also finding favor in the United States, and include His Majesty's Mixture, $3.00 per lb.; B. & H. Mixture. $2.50, and B. & H. Special (mild), $2.50 per lb.. in 3 1-3 and 8 oz. canisters. The celebrated B. & H. patent cigar humidors (see illustration) have become almost indispensable to the connoisseur who realizes that the condition of a cigar is as important as the quality of the tobacco of which it is made. These humidors are in ( >ak, San Domingo Mahogany, Rosewood, and Carcassian Walnut, with copper linings and Bramah locks. They range in price from S25 to $250 and are more acceptable as use- ful presents or prizes than the purely ornamental cup. Fine grained briars built to stand the strain of golfing and out-door use, with silver tops to prevent the ashes annoying the player, can be inlaid or engraved with designs or inscriptions commemorative of pleasant games and matches. Prices from $1.25 up. Silver and gold cigar and cigarette cases, pocket tobacco and match boxes, ash trays in precious metals or bronze in many designs, arc always in stock and can be engraved with club devices or inscriptions. One of the lacest I'.. & H. inventions for preserving cigar- ettes in perfect condition is shown in accompanying illus- tration. A crystal cigarette box is provided with a compart- ment containing an uncut lemon, the oil of which is comple- mentary to Turkish tobacco, and preserves the cigarette in perfect condition.

HERD and HARRY VARDON Cloth, $3 50, net (Postage 22c.) Illustrated by 26S Action Photographs The author has been fortunate in securing Mr. Harold H. Hilton to write a few words on each of the amateurs, criticising their game as he sees it. As Mr. Hilton is the only amateur who has twice won the Open Championship, and has a most keen power of observation, besides vast experience of the game, his views are a great addition and help to the correct interpretation of the Photographs. From these pictures he can see the stance at a glance, as each Golfer is standing on a square of four feet divided into six-inch squares ; and he need not be constantly wondering if he is on the right lines, and is standing as his model docs, or following his methods.

"A perfect bunk," declares the New York Times. "Everybody is reading THE AWAKENING OF HELENA RICHIE now. It is the novel of the sum- mer." "As an achievement in letters this story of passion and folly, repentance and renunciation, deserves to be ranked among the chiefest samples of Ameri- can imaginary writing.'"—Philadelphia North American. " Such work as this is bound to endure, must endure," says the Providence Journal. " It shows how good American fiction can be. The story charms insist- ently from the first page, but presently it flashes out into a tremendous drama, catching the reader in its onward sweep and holding him enthralled to the end.' Illustrations by Walter Applctoit Clark. Price $i.jo. Buchanan's Wife BY JUSTUS MILES FORMAN Author of "TOMMY CARTERET," "THE ISLAND OF ENCHANTMENT." The heroine is a beautiful girl forced by her family to marry for money. Her husband, Buchanan, shortly disappears, and a year later a body is found that Beatrix allows to be identified as that of Buchanan, her husband. Her marriage with her earl}' lover follows. A startling turn takes place and a strange series of events begin. The story remains poised over a situation dramatic and unique until the thrilling climax comes with a rush of surprise.

THE NOVEL UTILITIES COMPANY 171 World Building' New Torh 192 1906 1906 CHAMPION GOLF BALLS No. 2 Is the product of long and careful experiments in the manufacture of golf balls of the rubber cored type with the following results: A perfect playing ball at all points of the game. It has the longest carry, retains its shape, floats and stands abuse—the ball par excellence tor the expert as well as the medium class player who occasionally tops his ball. A trial will convince any player of the truthfulness of our every claim. No. 7 In making this ball we have endeavored to produce a ball absolutely indestructible in play, and judging from repeated severe tests we believe it will stand more punishment than any rubber cored ball ever before offered, and at the same time no principles that go to make a first class playing ball have been sacrificed. It has an amazingly long carry, both off wood and iron clubs and puts most accurately. It floats, retains its shape and will be found to be a perfect playing ball as well as the most durable. LADY CHAMPION A new departure in the manufacture of golf balls. It is a well known fact that the average woman golfer cannot hit as hard or secure the distance as the stronger sex. Then why not a ball made especially for them ? One that will go as far off a light stroke as the ordinary ball if hit hard. We have attained this quality in the Lady Champion. It is a trifle smaller and lighter than the regular and very resilient, and we believe any woman's game will be materially improved by using it. It will carry farther than any ball made and acts exceptionally well at all points of the game. It should not only appeal to women players, but find favor with golfers in general.
