London. June 3. —A novel contest
has taken place here, when seven
university bowmen, using arrows and
straw balls, met and defeated a team
of picked golfers from Royston.
It is about 500 years since the
Scottish king commanded that ‘‘golf
be utterly cried down’* in order that
their people might practice archery,
so golferu need not be too despondent
at the result.
Rut although it is true that the
authenticated record golf drive is
445 yard*, while the record flight of
an arrow is .‘llO yards, yet in t
case it was shown that, in the or
dinary way, archer* can shoot furth
er than golfers can hit, ami the
bowmen won by 4 1-2 points to
2 1-2.
It was a strange sight. The play
ers. were accompanied by caddies,
but the latter looked more like
(,’upids than anything else, solemnly
carrying bows, arrows and clubs.
At each green the archer aimed at
a straw ball, and a correct hit cor
responded with the holding of the
ball by a golfer. From the tec the
arc-hem drove their arrows as did
the golfers their balls, and similar
penalties as obtain in the ordinary
round of golf rewarde d a badly
directed arrow.
Sinner or DupperV That is Lon
don's latest problem.
It arises from v the want of a name
for a new meal. Social London now
dines later and later. 9:30 and 10
being the present accepted hours. So
what is a hostess to say when she in
vites a guest? And is the guest to get
fiis dinner before lie arrives. or
should he await the point of famish
ment?
Several influences have helped to
introduce this new unnamed meal.
Visitors to the Riviera. \ru» tv ineyi
dance late, rise late, play games late,
still insist on an evening meal at a
late hour. And so, Ixnidon hotels are
now serving a meal at 10 p. m.—
by which time the dancing has
started—half dinner and half supper.
The 11 p. m. supper is also be
coming a little longer than it used to
be. The reason for this is that few
Londoners now dine before going to
the theatre. Sandwiches and cock
tails are now’ the accepted preplay
menu.
But what is the name to be given
to this 10 p. m. meal in the ordi
nary house or hotel? Hostesses and
hoteliers are both eager to know.
A statistical table issued by the
University of London show’s that

Oatlands Palace was Henry's fa

Henry’s fifth wife, is supposed to

It was the home of successive
queens until it was dismantled by
Cromwell as "a den of royal in
famy.” Its stones were employed in
the building of looks and bridges in
Surrey.
Every day discoveries are made on
the estate. The builders have ex
cavated a quaint old Tudor cellar
and a great brick drain running to
the Thames, which local gossip has
given a grizzly history.
