. Scottish pictures, drawn with pen and pencil . aders may noteven yet precisely know what this royal and ancient game may have proved so benighted asto confound it with curling, asplendid game, also, it is true, asplayed over the vast smooth ex-panse of some frozen loch. Golf isyearly becoming more appreciatedsouth of the border, and yet its proper home is still in the North. Nogame, writes an expert, stirs a keener enthusiasm in its votaries ; and veryfew people who have ever fairly coinniiiicil themselves to the serious practiceof it will be found to deii) its extreme fascination. It is a manly andeminently healthful recreation, pursued, as it is mostly, amid the frc\sh seabreezes ; while as exercise it has this particular merit, that, according topace, it may he made easy or smart at pleasure, and tluis e(|ually adaptsitself to the overflowing t^.xuberance of youth, the matured and temperedstrength of manhood, and the gt^ntler decays of age.
