NOVEL MATCH.

(Thou ocr own coBBBSPOKDMrr.)

LONDON, May 1,

Mr Harry Eountree, the well-known aortist (formerly of Auckland), won a golf match played under novel conditions at Littlehampton. He was opposed, in a better ball match, by Ted Ray and George Duncan. Instead of the usual stroke start, the amateur wtis conceded an allowance of 150 yards. In using this distance he was permitted to move his ball, say, from a buiiker on to the fairway, the distance between the two points being .deducted from the 160 yarda. That the professionals underestimated the value of sugh. a, concession was exemplified by the fact that Mr Kountreo won by -6 and 5, having used only 50 yards 2ft oi iho allowance.

Aa incident which showed the impotence of the professionals under the conditions occurred at a hole where a full wooden club shot is required to get on to the green. Duncan got a magnificent tee shot dead' on; Ray was short, but he holed out in two. Mr Rountteo was short, too, but ha took 20 yardc of hia allowance to halve the hole.
