FROM THE VALE OF LLANGOLFLYN.

DEAR MR. PUNCH,--I have just seen your Number with the Song of "The
Golf Enthusiast." It occurs to me that no one has ever mentioned the
fact that the Romans knew the game, for does not VIRGIL sing, "_Tee
veniente die--Tee decedente canebat?_" I have not the book, and
therefore can't give you the reference--but I know I am right, as I am

A WELSH GOLFER.

M. LE PRÉSIDENT (_breathlessly_). "J'EM--BRASSE--LA RUSSIE!!"

("An interesting incident occurred during the official
reception held by M. CARNOT at the Mairie. A child dressed in
the Russian national costume presented the President with
a bouquet, at the same time reciting a brief complimentary
speech. M. CARNOT smilingly embraced the child, saying, 'I
embrace Russia.'"--_Quoted from Daily Papers_.)]
