NELSON, Sep. 4. The ladies' golf tournament was continued to-day m splendid weather. The semi-tinals of the championship produced great struggles between Miss JJurnes and Miss Pearce, and Mrs Slack find Miss Collins. Mrs Slack played a hard game throughout, and though once three down, was all square at the fifteenth hole. She foozled two shots at cho sixteenth and lost it, and the next ,Lole took foun to Miss Collins' three. Thus the latter won the match by two up and one to play. Miss Pearce and Miss Burnes fought a hard contest hole by hole. There wa& ra.-ely more than a hole between their scores. Miss Burnes, though not so experienced in championship play as Miss Pearce, ran her to all square at the sixteenth hole. Then Miss Pearce got a splendid mashie shot on to the seventeenth green, while Miss Burnes pulled ht-r ball, requiring three to get close to tlio pin, and Miss'Pearce holed out with a beautiful two. The inter-island game was won easily by the North Island by 18 points. Mrs Guy Williams secured the Mellsop Cup for the best three medal rounds being eight abend of the next player.
