At St. Andrews
An Eye-Witness account by Bernard Darwin
S.B. from Dundee

The Open Championship is the most important golf meeting that takes place in these islands.

This year the Championship is being played on the historic St. Andrews course. Today the final rounds are played, and Mr. Bernard Darwin, the famous amateur golfer, and now the leading expert on the game, will broadcast an account of the event. A running commentary is, of course, out of the question, but Mr. Darwin will, from the Students' Union building, which is close to the course, describe the morning's scores and the prospects for the afternoon: Then at 7.55 this evening he will describe the final stages, and announce the result.

Sung by DALE SMITH
Wir wandelten (Wo wandered)
Auf dem Kirchhofe (In the Churchyard)
Immor leiser wird mom. Schlummer (Ever gentler grows my slumber)
THE poem of We watulered, by Daumor, is a loving recollection of perfect happiness in listening to the voice of a dear companion. The music typifies Brahms' gift of writing melodiously in phrases that flow and glow with fine character.
If any composer had an aptitude for writing pictorial music, the poem of In the Churchyard (by Liliencron) would surely bring it into action : ' The day went out in rain and storm. I lingered by many a forgotten grave, amid weather-beaten stones on which I could scarcely read the names.'
Tho third is one of the favourites among
Brahms' songs. Its mood of drowsiness and restrained passion gives beauty to the lament of one who is dying heartbroken.
