TO-DAY'S PLAY

Heavy rain set in early this morning, and has continued uninterruptedly, making the course very heavy for the second day's play in the New Zealand golf championship tournament. It.was at first'thought that it would be necessary to postpone play to-day, but the first pair went off promptly at 8 o'clock. The local amateur- A. E. Ekstedt, who crashed badly in the second round yesterday, did a 73 this morning. B. V. Wright, of Timaru, another of the young players, was round in 75; and B. M. Silk, of Wangauui, was' 77. J. D. M'lntosh'was round in 74, thereby improving his position. Shaw, under the wretched conditions prevailing, was not exhibiting the same high standard of play as yesterday. His out journej' this morning was accomplished in 38, and he was back in thirtysix, 74 for the round, and second best figures .for. the - morning, alojag jyith

M'lutosh. Shaw's total is now 211, which is 17 strokes beter than his nearest attendants, Collins and "Wright, who aia equ; 1 at the head of the amateurs. Collins did the morning round, in 76.
