I NEW YORK, Nov. 21. Why do golfers ties so many clubs Hsrs is a perfsetly elm pie question, and on first thought, apparently easy to answer, ft It la a fact that when pressed for aa -explanatloa more thaa on devote of the im reluctantly admitted that carrying a doxen weapon of all shapes and sites waa mora of a habit than a One day the attention vof professional waa directed to a i men who was hesitating, undecided which one of a number of lrona to Lue fop certain shot.

There must bs between 1,000 and I.0Q0 golfers today In Canada's metropolis, as agalnet as many hundreds a few years ago.

I hav Just received word that the wtll known Kngllsh architects, W.

Colt and Dr. Macken tie, who have recently formed partnership, are, too, contemplating ma King cue trio in the enrlnr. Mr. Colt has already several fins courses over hers to his credit, flotably the netrott country Club, (Cleveland, Hamilton and Toronto, The Royal Montreal and the Lamb ton Golf Club, Toronto, next month will hold their annual meet- inga, and both will show a balance sheet the best In their history. It is a very great pity that mora golf clubs do not fol low ths example of these very representative organisations and hold their "annuals' at the end of the year.

Many clubs wait until the sprtng to close up the pre vines year's business, and thsa is a rush and a scurry to get ready for the opening of another season. Ths Royal Montreal and Lamb ton are two of ths most successful clubs In Canada. If they find It la "good huetnaest.to hold their annual meet-Ihgs In December and start another golfing year In January, depend upon It other clubs would be-well ad vised to follow In their footstsps.
