THIRD ROUND OF THE OPEN [Per United Press. Association.] WANGANUI, October 8. The third round of the open golf championship began this morning in glorious weather. In the morning’s play Shaw showed good golf going out, reaching the turn m even fours, including a live at the ninth. He was three under fours at the thirteenth, but fives at the fourteenth and sixteenth, and a sixth at the,seventeenth marred his card, which showed 73. George Watt, the Masterton professional, went out in sensational fashion, being two under fours at the turn ; but he slipped a stroke at the fifteenth, again at the seventeenth, and two more at the eighteenth, to finish, in 73.

The best early card was returned by W. Kuril, who went out in 33 and came home in 38. E. Moss picked up one stroke on Shaw this morning, doing the round in 72. going out in 37 and returning in 35. Kuru struck bad luck in the third hole at the Dress Circle. He failed to get up the hill, which cost him seven.

Horton, the Masterton amateur, spoiled a chance to make a great round by taking eight at the ninth, going out in 42 and coming back in 36, a round, of 78. E. Guy did the round in 71, going out in 37, after being out of bounds at Land’s End. Coming home, h© had three putts at the tenth, holing in four.
