The state of the game in Manila ahorJd be very interesting.Mr. E. Molloy, a retired official of the Chinese Maritime Customs, was recently playing at Kensington. In 1891 lie was the champion of Hankow. He st’H plays a good game, though, if memory serves he is 70 years of age. but no one would ever believe it on seeing him.ROYAL AND ANCIENT AUTUMN MEETING.A few remarks were made in the last ifsue with regard to the Autumn meeting of the Roya! and Ancient, chirliy ir relation to Lord Forster. Other things 01 interest were that all the retiring members of the green, rules of golf, and championship committees were rc-clectcd. It waa unanimously decided that a proposal 6houid be brought up at the next Spring meeting of tho Koyal and Ancient Club that the rules of goli committee Should co-opt. representatives of the golfing unions throughout the British Empire to serve on this committee, withview to the closest possible piaison on ail matters concerning the game, thechairman of the committee read •» letter Irom Lord Forster, advocating such a course, and stating how loyal all golfers in Australia were to the governing body of the game. '1 he chairman of the green committee asked tor an udditio ml £250 lor the upkeep of the ccuisc* curing the present financial year, in addition to the 13000 already gianted, but intimated that the sum of 13000 a .kcd for, and granted, lor next year, would not be exceeded. A vote of thanks was passed unanimously to Mr. James Blackwell, the curator of the links for his unremitting efforts on behall of the old and new links, which have borne such rich fruit. A record entry was received for the Autumn Medal, no fewer thin 67 couples being town to play. This necessitated the first couple starting at 8.3U a.m.—very early for the new captain. Mi. R. T. Boothby, to play himself in—and play was kept up continuously until 7 o’clock in the evening. J. Gordon Simpson, with 78. beat Martin South, who was ft7. The heavy rain which fell overnight made putting very difficult, as in placetir.g green has been laid in front o! tne ciub house: the preparation andcost of this green has been deli ayed by Messrs. G. Solomon, r. A. Sergeant. J. J. Eyre and B. Mellin.The club shows a deficit, but this was only to be expected, considering the material increase in expenses due to a gie.it extent to the removal and re-crcction of the dressing-rooms and new lockers. The club has 70 full members. 60 associate members, with a total of 138. or an increase of 20 for the year. The B Grade team won three matches and lost three, while the C team won one match and lost three.FLYING IN THE RAIN.The weather has been playing curious tricks of late. This makes the eleventh week-end that rain has fallen some time or other. There vas a terrific duststorm at Concetd, followed by a thunderstorm and heavy ram. This was over a little alter one. so did not matter bo much. The storm reached Rose Bay about 1.15. and the rain came along with driving force. The first pair made a start at 2.15. and the rain was practically over. Notwithstanding the rain all the clubs had big entries, and the scoring was quite above the average. The Aus-tialian Club played foursomes for Mr. W. A. Purdom’s trophy, E. Scott Scottand H. M. Douglas t8) tieing for first place, with R. Bull and H. A. Parker (8)with a good score of 80. L. T. Fowler and N. S. Collie (9) and F. J. Douglas and G. K. Bain (10) were only one stroke worse with 81. No one else could do better than 84.At Cammcray mixed foursomes were played, and afterwards the opportunity was taken by the president, Mr. C. R. Crossman, to present Mrs. Arthur Wilson, with n p.old-mountcd fountain pen. The associates naturally regret the resignation of Mrs. Wilson as lion, secretary, a position which she has tilled so ably and tactfully. Miss Iiartridge has kindly consented to fill the position. F. O. Crossman and Miss Olive Walker (17) won with 66. I think the handicapper was over-generous, for no fewer than six pair6 were 7u or better. E G. Kent and Miss Metcalfe (25). J. V. Cobcroft and Misb Walker lt;28*. C. S. Tiley and Mrs. Tilry (32) were all 6S. W. P. Pope and Mrs. Allman (27) were 69. -nd T. Michel! and Mrs. Wilson (27) were 70.The Manly championship foursomes will be played on Saturday. This event always e.iuses a good deal of interest. The winners to date are : 1910. N. F.
