They headed the field, two strokes ahead of A. S. Deane and Miss Wray. W. M'Phcrson and Miss Gaisford were sixth with 84.

They thus retained the championship. Miss Kay caused a sensation among the crowd at the eighth, 140yds, when she went within an inch of holing out in one. MTherson and Miss Gaisford in the afternoon went round in 89, their aggregate being 173.
