H.B. CHAMPIONSHIPS AND TOURNAMENT. The H.B. golf championship and handicap tournament were continued on the Waiohiki Links yesterday. The weather was warm and still and several good scores were registered. In the second round of the championship L. Bridge (Lower Hutt) beat E. C. Smith. (Napier), 2 up. This was rather unexpected, as Smith was reckoned to be fit for the final. Smith started badly, his opponent being 3 up on him after the first three holes. The local man, however, rallied well and at the 15th was all square. He lost the 17th and 18th and thus the match. Bridge and Goss (Wanganui) met in the final to-day over a 36-hole course.
