DOMINION TOURNEY. THIRD’ ROUND RESULTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) PALMERSTON N., Oct. 25. Heavy rain set in early this morning and continued uninterruptedly, making the course very heavy for the second day’s play of the golf championship tourney. It was at first thought it would be necessary to postpone 'play today, hut the first pair went off promptv after 8 a.m. The best round up till noon was that cf 78 by W. A. Keeling, who yesterday could not better 84 and in all other rounds up to this stage wan 80 or over. Deta.i'is of play are : Third round: Cath.ro SO (aggregate 240) • Fryer 83 (243); Reillv, 82 (245); Keeling/ 78 (248): Clarke SI (249); C'ook, 89 (250) ; O’Callaghan, 82 (251); r.

Ekstedt, the local amateur, who crashed badly on the second round yesterday afternoon. He did the course in 73. Wright (Tinmru) also did a. good round of 75. Silk took 77. Shaw, under the wretched conditions prevailing, was no'o exhibiting the same high standard of play as yesterday. He went out this morning in 38 but had not completed the round at 1 n.m. J. D. Mclntosh did the round in 74. thereby improving his position. Wright has now displaced Silk at the head of the amateurs.
