Lady Golfer in Uganda. Mips Dccima Moore, is one of the very keenest of golfers and has had such a variety of experience that surely no other ady has (says an English paper). She has just returned from a tour lasting nearly a year in the African interior, wandering through Uganda nml to the sources of the Nile, and' she had lier clubs with her all the time and played some interesting games in strange plates. A unique experience was the golf that she lrad at Kampala, in Uganda, close to the Equator, on the privato course of a native King, his Majesty Daudi Chwa, whose territory is under British protection. Daudi Chwa is young and very enlightened. He has an English university man for tutor and he has developed a pnssion for golf, which he plays quite well. 'Daudi Chwa can drive a good ball,' play iron clubs nicely, and putt with precision. He knows what thq golf fever is. His course is, for the Equator, quite a good one, though the "greens," as in so many places in Africa, are mere sandy "browns." You may always get a game at Kampala, even if the King is otherwise 'engaged, and you may buy. balls and clubs there as well. At Kampala, as at other like places, you are not to be content with one native caddie, but may have, a small company of them, one to carry the clubs and the others to go forward seeinp, that the way is clear and smooth, and marking down the ball when it is played. The King was so pleased with Miss Moore's interest in the game and her appreciation of his enterprise that before she left he formally named one of the holes on his course after her. "The Decima," as it will always be known in the future, is a good hole too.
