In the second round, Mrs. Wilson went out iu 43 to Mrs. Blain’s 44, which enabled the Miramar player to turn for home 1 up. They halved the tenth in 5, but Mrs. Blain turned on a birdie 4 at the eleventh (353 yards), which squared the match. The short twelfth was halved in 3, but Mrs. Blain again turned on a birdie 4 at the thirteenth (380 yards), ■which placed her 1 up. They halved the fourteenth in 4, but Mrs. Blain then played sterling golf to take the fifteenth (270 yards) in 4, and the sixteenth (270 yards) in 4, to take a match by 3 and 2. Mrs. Blain was one under bogey for the seven holes played on the run home. Mrs. Ferguson (Auckland), who won her way into the semi-final of the Wanganui open championship last week, again showed that she is a player of merit by beating Miss McClure by 4 and 2 in the first round yesterday, and accounting for Mrs. Farr in the second round by 4 and 3. The Middlemore player played very steadily throughout the day, doing round about S 3 both morning and afternoon. Back to Form. Miss Gambrill this season has regained her best form, and is hitting a great ball off the tees. She had to go her hardest to beat Mrs. McMillan (Titirangi) in the first round, and so well did the Aucklander perform that she was 2 up with 3 to play. Miss Gambrill then came on to her best form, and, squaring the match at the eighteenth, won a great fight by 1 up at the nineteenth. Miss Gambrill then went on in the afternoon to beat Mrs. Treadwell (Hutt) in the second round by 3 and 2. Mrs. Partridge (Miramar) gave a taste ‘ of her quality by eliminating Mrs. Stout, the Wellington champion, by 3 and 2 in the first round, and then beating Miss ] Hanson, the Miramar champion,' by 3 and 2 in the second round. i The Semi-Finals.
