Miss Upham lost the loth hole by blissing an easy putt and Mrs. ■ Banister, winning the 16th, squared the match. The 17th, 18tli and 19th were halved, and Mrs. Banister won the match at tlie 20th with a perfect four. In* her match with Miss Rathbone, which she won 8 up and 6, Miss V. Upham gave the finest display seen so far, doing the first nine holes in 38, two better than bogey. An interesting game was seen when Miss Culling and Mrs Weston met. At each of the first three holes Mrs. Weston took three putts, but was only l down, Miss Culling taking the third with a pretty four. At the next hole Mrs. Weston holed a long putt to square the game, but lost the lead when she lost her ball at the 6th hole. At the Bth Mrs. Weston drove to the edge of the green and obtained a great 3.
