NOTES ON THE PLAY.

The first surprise of the day was Wethered’s downfall at the hands of rthe Irishman, Cecil Ewing. Both drove prodigiously, but when one up and five to play Wethered developed a disastrous hook, whereas Ewing’s long approach play was immaculate. The English champion, Bentley, was two down at the turn against Peters and putted brilliantly homeward, but his second shot, landing in the roadway at the seventeenth, cost Bentley the match.

Both Fcrrier and Timmis played a little wildly in their match. Ferrier turned one up in thirty-seven, his figures being 5,4, 5,4, 4,4, 4,3, 4, and Timmis thirty-eight. Ferrier was two up at the tenth but _ Timmis squared the match at the thirteenth, where he holed a twenty-yarder for a birdie three. Ferrier became dormy two, but at the seventeenth played a wild second, the ball running through the green across the road and jumping the railway wall, Timmis winning the hole easily. The last hole was halved. The match was not notable for quality. Ferricr’s score in was 4,4, 4,4, 4,4, 4,7, 4 (39), an aggregate of 76, while Timmis had an aggregate of 75.
