A ladies' golf tournament has just been concluded at, Christchurch. '. Miss N. Campbell, won the cup presented last year for tho championship of Canterbury, and .Miss Cra-croft-Wilson, as runner-up, also secured a prize. The first handicap medal match was won by Miss Mill (Dunedin), the second by Mrs. Wigram. • Miss Cowlishaw won the Coronation Medal. Auckland society feels that at last it is to receive its just dues. Too long has Wellington;' by reason, of its position, geographical and. political, usurped most of tho social privileges that'have fallen to the lot of tho colony, but at last Auckland's. wrongs are to bo avenged. Wellington is to be left out in the cold, Avhile the American Fleet plays about' Auckland and assures ev<jry Auckland girl that the harbour is tho most beautiful in tho wbrld. This happy event is to take place in August, but'the anticipation is already a source of joy, and already are 'entertainments being planned..
