WhiteParsons (Christchurch), and Mrs. Chapman and Mrs. Munden (Hutt) were .left to contest the semi-finals, which were to be played this morning. The rain, which started in the morning, slackened about noon, but came on again heavily in the afternoon, making conditions extremely difficult and unpleasant for the fourth round matches. In" the fourth round match, between Mrs. Slater and Mrs. Chrisp and Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Wilson, the former pair, started convincingly, taking the first three holes in 3, 5, 3. Steady play allowed their opponents to take the fourth in 5 to 6, but positions were reversed at the sixth. The only stroke allowance of the match was received by Mrs, Slater and Mrs. Chrisp at the seventh, but they only managed a half, their opponents going down for a bogey 4 to 5. At the turn Mrs. Slater and Mrs. Chrisp stood 3 up. Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Wilson showed steadier form! in the second round, but although they reduced the leeway slightly, they could make no marked difference to the score.
