The real start, of course, has preceded this month by several weeks, for example, when on the sands of the world-fa- mons Ormond beach vourse, Bernin and Cedrino made notable the meet of 1908, which had been anticipated as certain to score a very pronounced failure. The mile and the 100-mile re- words, deemed unbeatable, apd the B00-mile mark likewise, fell before the determined onslaughts of these plucky speed merchants. Think of it ! aver: aging seventy-seven miles an hour for almost four hours, which was what Cadrino did, beating, hands down, the best previous average of seventy miles an hour scored in the famous Grand Prix on a circular track in France, The performance of this Italian, whe has long raced in this country, and that of Bernin, also well-known, form- ol 8 most effective beginning of the soason for the automobile enthusiasts who have so much to anticipate in Preparing for Despite the money stringency there js every indication that this season will witness an unusual amount of auto. mobile touring, Garages have been very busy during the past month get- ting cars into shape, so that good ato mechanics are very scarce, The silos agencies have contracted for more ears than they had last year at time, Everybody except the smn who has heen uging his car all h . the winter months, imper- vious t6 snow or wintry winds, is busy How getting ready for the real season of the more or less silent steed.

Simplifying The Golf Rules, While no changes in the actual play- ing rules of the ancient Scotch game were expected by the followers of the sport in this country or abroad as a result of the plea made by the United States Golf Association to the St Andrew's Golf Club last fall, a re vised code, which has for its object a simplification of the wording of the rules, was sought and obtained. Re- cently, the action of the Sedtch head of the game was made known by the United States Golf Association, and it was thereby learned that much more intelligent definitions have heen incor- porated in the playing rules, so that there will not be the doubt and un- certainty in regard to the right or wrong of points that have been much debated by contendine players in the past. Changes in the rules were not needed, all golf players know that, the general revision in 1897 having settled for all time much-mooted points, and the changeg in minor de tails which the action of the Ameri can players in their appeal to St. Andrew's brought about are really hardly worthy of notice. At this time it is rather amusing to comment on the attitpde of the Eng- lish "pros." in the matter of com- peting in the United States' open tournament, scheduled for "Myopia next August. No one had extended ap invitation to the quartette named-- Arthur Massey, present open cham- pion of Great Britain; James Braid, twice title holder of the same: Harry Vardon, four-time winner of the honor and J. H. Taylor, who has been champiol' three times--and their an- nounced disinclination to accept an invitation which has not lwen given to them is rather amusing. Not that they would not be welcomed, for they would, but certainly it is rejected.

The Kaiser As A Motorist, The Emperor of Germany has long been 'a most ardent motorist, primar- ily, because of its economy. He found he could reach certain places where his duties called him, by automobile and thus do away with the great ex- pense of a private railway train. Then he took up the sport for its own vake, and his cars with the imperial crest serving in the place of a number having long been conspicuous in the streets of Berlin. Recently he visited the Automobile Club in that city and talked at length on the desirability of pushing forward Germany's auto- mobile interests as manufacturers and as sportsmen. He has always follow- ed. with keen interest the big interna- tional contests, attending in person when possible races in Germany and seconding in every way the enthu- sinsm and support accorded the sport by his brother, Prince Henry, who will be remembered as visiting this country on the occasion of * tha launching of the American built Me teor, the kaiser's yacht.

He was going to call wpon girl's widowed mother to ask daughter's hand in marriave, At last, everything was complete ex- cept his eravdt. Pefore him, on the dressing table, were: two cravats bp- tween which his choice rested. One, 'y neat black with a narrow white stripe which he had bought himself. The other, a cravat which the girl had given-him fora present--a tie such as only women purchare. "I I wear the hlack and white one I'll look my best," he mused. "On the other hand, if I wear the one she gave me Tll please her immensely, but will look like a fright. Then he whistled, walked around the room and carefully tied his cravat. The mother = said "yes," 'although there were tears in her eyes, and the jgirl thought he was the handsomest and best dressed man in the world, { Which cravat did he wear ? | the her gards color until she is five years old- or, when without sign ol protest she leaves all bright tones to her younger sisters, and is seen thenceforward in the dull, drab tints of brown and dark gray. until her striped kimono is ged for a checked brown or gray at forty-five.
