LADIES' TOL'RXAMEN T. The Manawatu Ladies' Golf Club's annual tournament was commenced on the Hokowhitu links yesterday. Though, a high wind made good play difficult, the other conditions were splendid, the course being- in great order and the greens running last and true. Nothing very brilliant is expected on the lirst clay of a tournament and the scores handed in were up to the average for flrst-day performances. The best gross score was put in by Mrs G. Williams, whose 86 was a very creditable round. Her lirst half was especially good, as she completed in 39. The qualifying round brought out keen competition for the last two places, five players tying. The arrangements were in the capable bands of Miss D. Blackmore as secretary and Mrs L. Seifert as club captain, and they were carried out with complete success. In the qualifying round for the championship, Mrs L. Seifert, Mrs Junes. Miss Blackmore, Miss P. Sim and Mrs Monckton tied for the two last places. Four holes had to be played before a decision " was reached, Mrs Seifert and Miss Blackmore Idling the positions.
