GOLF CLUB
Golf, as a game, started in Calcutta in the initial phase of the nineteenth century. Dumdum had hosted the first game of Golf which was organised by some enthusiastic British officers of the Dumdum Cantonment. However, the game became popular since the establishment of the Royal Calcutta Golf Club in 1829.

GAS LIGHT
The supply of gas through pipelines started in Calcutta on 6th July, 1857. The gas thus received, illuminated the streets of Calcutta for the first time. Gas was also supplied to the domestic houses as a fuel to the stoves. However, gas-light was in vogue in Calcutta aeons ago. A clipping from Samachar Darpan (30th March, 1822), deserves mention in this regard.

GRAMAPHONE RECORD
The first Gramophone Record was made in Calcutta. Hemendra Mohan Basu imported the 'phonograph' of Edison and made the cylinder record. The records were popularly known as Bose's record. Rabindranath Tagore recorded the 'Bande Mataram' here in his own voice. The 'Gramophone & Typewriter Ltd' recorded the first Indian song in their Beliaghata factory in 1898. Moreover, the company opened its first branch in Calcutta in 1961. There are different opinions about the recorded song of the first professional singer. The inventor of disc record, Frederick Gaitsburg of Berlin, arrived in Calcutta on 27th October, 1902 to record the songs of the native singers. His desire was to send these records to Hanoever, make them into discs and then sell them in Calcutta. He is said to have gone to a theatre hall on 5th November, 1902, and recorded the songs of Gaher Jaan. Gaher used to sing in diverse languages and ended up saying "My name is Gaher Jaan."

Another opinion suggests that the 'Gramophone & Typewriter Ltd.' recorded the song of Sashi Mukhi on 25 cm. disc in 1902 for the first time. The song was adopted from the play 'Sri Krishna'.

GARMENTS-MILL
The first garments-mill in India was established in 1818, at Ghusuri(Howrah) in the vicinity of Calcutta.

GOVERNOR HOUSE
