Yv’ilder (Christchurch), 2 up and 1 to play; A. Duncan (Wellington) heat Pare Keiha (Gisborne), 0 up and 5 ; W. B. Colbeck (Auckland) beat C. Tareta (Hawke’s Bay), 4 up and i>; H. T. Gillies (Auckland) beat C. E. S. Gillies (Auckland), 2up and 1. Some finals for the championship are being played this afternoon, as follows: U. T. Bull v. A. Duncan, and W. B. Colbeck v. 11. T.
