THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
Loan H.w.nu it on Goi.i
■■ In certain great event inis there is no game, which so lar as hard-worked men arc concerned, will give them the healthful .satisfaction which they will ,|,-live from golf. Wo .in- always talking of shortening the bonis ot labour--a very pronci 1 object hut there is number ohieet as difficult to attain, and Hint is a way to occupy the leisure which shortening the hours ol labour is intended to produce. If anybody will cast their minds hack and think of their own experience, and contemplate the fate of a poor middle-aged man taken to ihe seaside by his wife and family, with no better occupation than to see his children dig castles ill the sand or bathe, with no means of tilling ihe weary hours of leisure, and will compare that state ol things with the prospect of the same individual transported io a healthy climate and beautiful scenery, and with a game which will exercise all his skill to play moderately, and much more than any skill he can perhaps produce to play the game supremely, he will admit that, at all events, so far the middleaged man is concerned, the blessings of golf have Won immense.”—Lord Hulfour.
