The club championship .has not yet been decided, and the somewhat unique ; position in which it:stands at present is feauuing considerable interest. Three members are left in for the final, vi?.., T. W. Newman. William Price, ; and B. A. Franklin, i who have- to play off. ' The final matches have been in hand . between these three for , several weeks without any definite result being; arrived at. Thefirst : rodnd of i three matches resulted in ' & tie, each having, one win - and one loss. The same result attended "■ the second and third rounds, which were completed on Saturday. This shows the three contestants to be evenly matched. j' The next round will be played during the coming week, and will be watched with keen interest. \ ... . ■ -
