For the learned
have divided Golf into several categories. There is Professional
Golf, the best Amateur Golf, Enthusiasts' Golf, Golf, Beginners'
Golf, Ladies' Golf, Infant Golf, Parlour Golf, the Golf of Scotch
Professors. But the true Duffer's Golf is far, far below that. A
Duffer like me is too bad for hanging. He should be condemned to play
for life at Chorley Wood, or to bush-whack at Bungay.

FREE AND EASY THEATRES.--We have no sympathy whatever with the idea of
a Theatre Libre or with a Free-and-Easy Theatre, but we shall be very
glad when all Theatres are made Easy, Easy, that is, as to sitting
accommodation, and Easy of egress and ingress. But if the space is
to be enlarged, will not the prices have to be enlarged too? 'Tis
a problem in the discussion of which _The Players_, which is a new
journal, solely devoted to things Dramatic and Theatrical, would find
congenial employment.

VENICE AT OLYMPIA.
["The water in the canals is two feet in depth, and is kept at
a temperature of sixty degrees."
_Vide the Press on "Venice at Olympia."_]
[Illustration]
O Jane, thou jewel of my heart--
Thou object of my hopeless passion,
Though Fate decrees that we must part,
I'll leave thee in some novel fashion!
I will not do as others do
When cheated of prospective bridal,
And quit the Bridge of Waterloo
With header swift and suicidal.
