The Tidmarsh-Macßeth game uas very interesting, and good' °olf was played throughout. At the end of the fi ’st round the Aucklander had a lean of three, yhich he increased, and «a s four up at the 22nd. MacBeth took the next five holes and, was all square at the 27th. There was a neck and neck go to the finish, where Macßeth let Tidmarsh in In the afternoon round Macßeth was four under fours for 15 holes Both played excellent golf. Torrie Bell required his third 76 of the tourney to be three up on W. Wvnne. in the first round Wynne taking 39. Bell maintained his consistency in the afternoon, and ran out a winner at the 31st hole. GRANT’S FINE WIN. onald Grant’s 75 on Saturday evi dently inspired him to the good golf that he has in his bag. and to-dav he played the best golf that he has played in this country. The pace be set was too hot for the ex-amateur champion and Dominion representative, Leo Quin. Establishing a lead of two up Grant never let up. and finally won four and three He meets the local champion. N. Bell, tomorrow, and a tight game is assured.

B. V. Wright had the upper hand of W. F. Ralph, and was four up at the 22nd. From then on he fell back. At the 34th he had a chance to get in the lead, but failed, and Ralph, taking the next two holes, won the game

Morgan Duncan and Digby Giles had a ding-dong go. nothing more than one hole between them all the journey, and the 36th had to be nlay ed before the Australian returned. KAPI’S GALLANT EFFORT. Goss, starting one down in the afternoon, rattled a 35 out and established a lead on R. D. Wright, which he was equal to keeping. There was a very fine exhibition ot long driving in the Grey-Tareha match, in which honours were equal. Grey was sounder than usual in the other parts of the game, and was nutting with accuracy. Kapj made a gallant effort to save the game at the 34th Hitting his second, a magnificent brassy shot, he landed eight feet from the pin, but missed his nurt and here the game ended. R. M. George soon established a lead on the Eltham player Dale and was five up at the 7th. Dale reduced it to one up at the 13th. and the position was the same at lunch. In the afternoon George had to nlay his best to win. Dale is a consistent and improving player. Arthur Duncan had an easy game against J M. Hussey, but he will require to improve his wooden nlay to o-o much further in the chamnion ship. His short game is still sound. MACEWAN PROMISES WELL. The veteran H. B, Lusk was kept busy bv lan Mac Ewan. who was not equal to availing himself of Lusk’s mistakes in the morning round, and as Lusk played excellent golf (two over fours for 15 holes) in the afternoon. the younger player could not keep pace. Mac Ewan is a very nromising player. Sime and Bellingham had a very close game all day The latter is an improving player, and Sime had to produce good golf to win. Colbeck, Horton. Morpeth. Wager, and Black, as anticipated, had easy wins. Black returned a 73 and is at the top of his form, as is AVagg. THE PROFESSIONAL GAMES. Moss always had the better of bis game with J. A. Clements, and at 'he 19th he was two up. Clements nlaved a great uphill game, and at the 30th hg had a fighting chance, nut stymied himself R. C. Butters was two up on C C. Clements at lunch. Clements made all square at the 22nd. and took the next three holes, making him ‘hree up at the 26th Butters, recovering. took the next five holes and won. The margin of Mclntosh’s win over Blair does.not indicate bad play 011 Blair’s part," As a matter of fact Blair nlayed good, sound golf, hnt the Masterton professional produced one of the very brilliant games that he is capable of and which, unfortunately for himself, he does not al ways produce. GALLOWAY. SUPER-GOLFER A surprise was in store for A. J Shaw, as J. R. Galloway produced golf to-day that would have taken a super player to vanquish. It was not till well in the straight that Shaw got the lead, but only momentarily, as the Palmerston North man was equal to the occasion and wiped off the deficit by three and 1 two. Ilustrating the standard of <rolf provided by the professionals to-dav. their morning rounds were; Mclntosh 71, Butters 74. Galloway 74, Moss 74, Shaw 75. C. Clements ”6. Blair 76, J.
