Captain Pattullo won the Royal and Ancient medal twice, with scores of 104 and 105. Mr. Robert Lindsay won with 110, in 1846. Captain J. C. Stewart is admitted by all to have been a most brilliant player. In 1853 he made the grand score of 90, beating the previous best by no less than nine strokes. Between 1837 and that date a hundred had only twice been broken. He was in the 72nd Highlanders, and is still a member of the Royal and Ancient. Gourlay was the well-known professional at Musselburgh; a good player, but not quite among the first of his brethren of the club. He was a celebrated maker of feather balls, which fetched as much as five shillings apiece, so it is said. How twenty to one came to be offered to the referee in a big match the Nestor of golf fails to explain. Perhaps autres temps autres mceurs. NOTES FROM AN AMBUSH BY FRED. YVHISHAW The 'Ambush, ' on this occasion, is one of those little conical shelters built of pine branches leaning one against the other, five or six feet in diameter at the base and tapering to a point at the apex, with which some of my readers may be already familiar as the vantage-point whence the Russian sportsman hurls his deathdealing bolts upon the birds and beasts which pass unsuspectingly within range of his smooth-bore. The time of year is springtide, and the hour is one of the 'small ones ' which follow midnight--the hour and the season when the lengthening day and shortening night have aroused belligerent game-birds to thoughts which have long been strange to their breasts; pleasant domestic thoughts of love and wooing, of the overthrow of rival lovers, and of the delights of hectoring and bombast. I have already described in other pages the interesting and original procedure of tha...

Excerpt: ...stranger, playing for the first time at Eton, who has been accustomed to a good light, would find himself equally puzzled by the close proximity of the trees, and very apt to lose sight of the ball after it has left the bowler's hand; whilst in the late afternoon, when the sun is going down, the shadows cast by the trees are very baulking to those unaccustomed to them. Moreover, as a rule, the wickets are much deader and slower than at Harrow; so that really each school would have, as is usually the case on its own ground, a decided advantage to start with. It has also been said that the removal of the match from Lord's would seriously impoverish the M.C.C. coffers. This reads like a joke, and was probably intended for one. If really meant, the propounder of such a statement must have been ignorant of the resources of the M.C.C., which is probably one of the richest sporting clubs in the world, and if necessary would be able to recoup itself in many ways for the loss of the school profits; though the question of money-making in connection with the University and School matches is such a repugnant idea that it should not be entertained for a moment. The county clubs, of course, have to consider the question of s. d., and a good match extending to a third day means a welcome addition to their funds; but M.C.C., with its four thousand members and an unlimited candidate list, can well afford to be above all mercenary considerations. At the same time, the removal from Lord's would be a great upsetting of all the old traditions under which the match has hitherto been played, and there are many who feel that they would not like to see it, except on the old ground which has been consecrated by immemorial custom, though at the same...

Excerpt: ...that suggested that Amazon had sought sanctuary in the cowhouse. I have done some roughing it in my time, and I am not over-particular, but I admit that it was rather a shock to meet the turkey itself again, more especially as it was the sole item of the menu. There was no doubt of its identity, as it was short of a leg, and half the breast had been shaved away. The aunt must have read my thoughts in my face. She fixed her small implacable eyes on mine for one quelling instant, then she looked at Robert. Her nephew was obviously afraid to meet her eye; he coughed uneasily, and handed a surreptitious potato to the puppy who was sitting under his chair. 'This place is rotten with dogs, ' said the aunt; with which announcement she retired from the conversation, and fell again to the slaughter of the parlour-maid. I timidly ate my portion of turkey and tried not to think about the cowhouse. It rained all night. I could hear the water hammering into something that rang like a gong; and each time I rolled over in the musty trough of my feather-bed I fractiously asked myself why the mischief they had left the tap running all night. Next morning the matter was explained when, on demanding a bath, I was told that ' there wasn't but one in the house, and 'twas undher the rain-down. But sure ye can have it, ' with which it was dragged in full of dirty water and flakes of whitewash, and when I got out of it I felt as if I had been through the Bankruptcy Court. The day was windy and misty--a combination of weather possible only in Ireland--but there was no snow, and Robert Trinder, seated at breakfast in a purple-red hunting coat, dingy drab breeches, and woollen socks, assured me that it was turning out a grand morning. I distinctly liked the looks of...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Badminton Magazine of Sports and Pastimes, Vol. 4: January to June, 1897 It is seldom one finds such roe shooting as in the circum stances we have sketched, but the roe is always a great addition to the battue in the North. A chartered denizen of the wastes and woods, he seeks the deepest solitudes of extensive plantations. Hence he is scarcely the ornament of the landscape he ought to be, for he rarely shows. Strolling quietly about with the gun in the woodland glades, you may occasionally catch the gleam of a white stern vanishing behind a tree trunk. Few creatures are more graceful, and very few more destructive. The roe steals out to feed at night or in the early morning, and there is no prettier sight, except to the unfortunate farmer, than a family party in the high green corn, delicately nibbling the tender blades. Somehow they are less shy in Germany, where you may see them any day of an afternoon grazing with the cattle in the sequestered valleys surrounded by woods. With us, when they keep themselves to themselves in their sylvan retreats, they make frightful havoc of the young saplings. That is the best antidote to sentimentalism with the tender-hearted shooter who is greatly inclined to spare them for their beauty, and feels remorseful when he plunges the hunting-knife in the quivering chest. Nothing keeps one up to the mark at a Scottish battue like the expectation of roe. Instinctive timidity has bred intense suspicion. The sight is as keen as the sense of smell. The.
