GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP.

GIESEN ELIMINATED.

The second round of the Tedding Golf Club’s senior championship series on Saturday afternoon saw L. M. Giesen, title holder for the last three years, eliminated on the 19tli green by V. J. Stitchbury, a plgyer who has also held the club championship in pastyears. At the tenth hole Giesen was leading 1 up after a rather patchy half round by both players. Better play was seen in the home run, but at the 16th green Giesen was still holding the lead of one. The 17th, however, was lost to Stitchbury who never gave' up his efforts, while a half at the 18th found them all square. At the 19th Stitchbury got close to the pin with a good three, Giesen being left a long and difficult putt to halve the hole for four. Giesen played a great shot, but missed, Stitchbury taking the hole and the game. ' Results in the championship games to date are as follow : .Senior. —First round: H. S. Farquharson beat \V. Seifert.
