The only new name ap- pearing in the list of nominees for the courcil is that of Lieutenant J. §. Oyster, Warren Gregory, who has served during the past year, having retired. The most important matter that will come up for consideration is the yues- ticn of adding nine additional holes to the links, making 1. a full eighteen-hole course, and of conveying water to all the greens by pipe. The land to be utilized for the additional nine holes is that be tveen the present course and the Ma- rine Hospital.

The injuries, while pain- ful and impalring the players’ usefulness, arc not of a permanent character, and | are attributed to lack of skill in the game rather than to anything else. —————— The total amount of money colned by all of Queen Victoria’'s predecessors on the throne was $,025,00000.
