Archer, in his jspcecli prior to the presentation of prizes to the winners of thi> Timnru to Chri.stelmrch road race on Saturday night, "I have been asked to take up golf, but 1 de cided that I wouldn’t.

I’m too young jot.” This remark was greeted with loud laughter, and when it had died down the Maym had another joke coming. "Oh. I’m young all right.” said Mr Archer smilingly. "I was on a train flic other day. and. seeing a little girl opposite mo, I decided I would talk to her. "llttllo, little girl.' I said, ‘where are you going!'’ For a moment she stared at me. and then she turned to her mother. •Mother,’ she said, 'I don't know that boy’, (Loud laughter.)
