Oliphant. (W. Heinemann.)—This is an "enlarged edition," of a book which pleased the great army of golf enthusiasts, and which, in its new shape, can scarcely fail to be still more welcome.

They're hard to find at this time o' year —(it was shortly after the autumn medal week)—but ye can fa' in with them at times. It's varra encouragin' tae the likes of you, sir." There are some humorous poems of considerable merit, and an ingenious paper with the title, "Shakespeare on Golf."
