CHRISTCHURCH LADIES' CLUB

The annual report of the Christchurch Ladies' Golf Club states: The appended statement of receipts and expenditure for the year, shows a credit balance of £Ol 4s 3d, and the buoyant state of the club's finance ir particularly gratifying in view of th? fact that the furnishing of the elul.'s rooms in the new golf house will entail considerable expense. During the seasou, eighteen new members were elected, and tin* active membership now stands at 150, of which 16 are non-resident active members. There are also 54 honorary members, 23 absentee members, and C schoolgirl associates. This year the matches for the club championship and junior challenge cup were not begun until August 16th, and were completed within a fortnight—an alteration which met with general approval. The club championship was won by Mifs D. Chrystall, with Mrs Pumphrey as runner-up, and the .junior challenge cup was won by Miss X. Enright, with Mrs Duncan as runner-up. Though the Easter tournament did not attract many players from outside Christchurch", the committee, was pleased to receive entries from an increased number of members of the other Christchurch and suburban clubs, and it is hoped that their interest in this annual fixture will be maintained. The Canterbury championship was Avon by Miss Bcadc'l, and Miss 0. Kay was runner-up. Several players from the club competed in the New Zealand Championship Tournament, played iu Duncdin in October, and the club was also represented at tournaments at Napier, Wanganui, Palmerston North, Hcretaunga, and Miramar, the names of many of the members appearing on the prize lists, and Miss Chrystall winning laurels for herself and her club by doing a record score at Hcretaunga. The thanks of the club arc due to Lady AVigram, Lady Boys, Mrs J. 11. Hall, Miss Ocrard, Mr H. R. Blnir, and the committee of the Christchurch Golf Club for presenting prizes during the vear.
