More re- cently the royal and ancient game of golf has \bfeen transplanted from the hilts bf Scotland. But burling Is far mote ancient than any of these. The Scotchman, proud of the antiquity of golf, points to the time stained documents carefully \pre- served In Edinburgh showing that as early as 145T the- game was distracting the attention of the Seottishyottthfrom more serious things, and to this day hurling has continued through all the centuries the popular game pf the Irish people.—Brooklyn Eagle.

Other smaller reptiles browsed on the foliage of the then existing plains and were pursued'and preyed upon by: feil rep^ tilian monsters of various kinds.
