MAR ATMOS GOLF.' 
In all seventeen balls were lost and sixty- 
two dropped and strokes lost. Several of the 
daily papers made amusing remarks respect- 
ing the match. One correspondent said “ it 
reminded him of those semi-legendary runs 
of the old Welsh hounds in the days when we 
arc told that they used to run a fox the whole 
of one day, then turn in for the night at the 
nearest farm-house, and take up the running 
again with the dawn ol the next day.” 
our salvation, as the corn-fields, having so 
recently been rolled, were smooth. This 
saved us many hundreds of strokes, as 
the brassie and cleek could be used with 
advantage, whereas in cases where this had 
not been done the niblick was the only club 
that could be taken. 
THE LAST STROKE (NO. 1,087) ON THE LINKS AT LITTLBSTONE. 
Joking apart, however, the 
game proved not only novel, 
but of extremely varied interest, 
much more so than is obtain- 
able on any ordinary golf-links, 
and may be highly recommended 
to any golfer who would like a. 
new experience. We should very 
much like to see a match be- 
tween champion players of forty 
miles across country, and we 
think the whole golfing world 
would note with interest the 
way in which they acquitted 
themselves in the trying cir- 
cumstances of Marathon golf.
