GOLF.

MIXED FOURSOME. {final competition of the SEASON. The curtain was rung down on the 1913 golfing season in Gisborne on 'Saturday afternoon, when a Mixed Foursome was played.. The fates have /not been too kind to these popular (competitions this year, as although (the weather was beautifully fine at 2 o’cloek when play started, inky-black clouds banked up in the west as the afternoon wore on, and about 3 o’clock a sharp shower of rani, accompanied by hailstones, gave the players a drenching. This is exactly what happened during the' course of the last mixed foursome played on the links. On Saturday, though a few of the ladies ran for shelter, the majority of the quartettes played right through the rain. Thirty-one pairs competed on Saturday, and after a most interesting contest the winners turned up in Miss Adams and August Paku, who from the scratch mark did the 16 holes in the good score of 75. The winners were closely run by Miss Sw6et and Howie, and Miss P. de Lautour and R. Barker, who each finished 77 net. The following were the best cards handed in:— . Miss Adams and Paku 75—scr—7o.
