��Playing Golf on the Roof

THE already familiar practice net of the golf stores has been turned to the use of finished players by a Boston hotel. On the roof has been set up the usual sort of net into which the player drives, but in- stead of the canvas back being merely to stop his ball from flying off the roof, it is painted to show what sort of shot he made. On the right are two sections, "low slice" and "high slice," and on the left two correspond- ing sections, "low pull" and "high pull." Numbers in- dicate the distance that would be gained by either, and whether the ball would go out of bounds before stopping. The central panel is dotted with numbers indicating the lenght of drive which would ha\e resulted on a normal course. Where\er the ball strikes, the can\as shows the value of the drive, as to distance and direction. Below the charts is a space two feet high marked "bunker."

THE fresh-air habit has at last been recognized by a Boston hotel keep- er, who, winter or summer, will let you sleep on his roof under a tent, if you have paid for a room down-stairs. Need- less to say this hotel is becoming popular.
