THE JAPANESE AS GOLFERS.
The war has brought "a considerable number of Japanese to London (says a writer in the Evening News), and they have discovered another "good thing" of the West—the game of golf. Harry Vardon, the world's champion, who has been teaching several of the Japanese, tells me that they are exceptionally apt pupils, and improving rapidly. When they have been instructed how to swing the club they do not proceed, like the average Englishman, to make an immediate swipe at the ball. They walk to one side, think over carefully all that they have been told, and practice tUe swing two or three times, to make sure that they have absorbed the right idea before attempting to hit the ball. With their wonderful agility and keen eyes, the Japanese will be great golfers some day.
