THE EXHIBITION MATCH. WIN FOR PROFESSIONALS. The exhibition four-ball played at One Tree Hill coarse res tenia 7 afternoon attracted a large gallery of spectators, who ■A'eie treated to a verr interesting ezDosition ol the same. Sloan Morpeth and £. M.. Georpe, the two leading members of the M&augakieirie Club, played E. JMoss and E. S. Doujrlas. the Middlemora and Maungakiekia professionals. The issue was not decided _ until the 18th creeu. where the professionals won. 1 up. The? -were 3 up at the eighth, and maintained that lead until the 13th. which Georce won. The 14th waa haired, the amateurs won the 13th and IGtiu the ITth wag haired, and eren at the 18th Morpeth had only to sink * moderate DUtt. to ecraare the match. This h<s failed to do. with the result already staled. ... The sram» started crmetly. but at the second hole Donslas. who was throurh the crests with his second, holed a mashie anproach for a three and a win, two under bogey. The foarth. borer" three, was won by George with a nice two. bis tee shot hsrinc come to rest within rrri-y handy distance of the put. At the fifth Moss piayed a beautifully-rndired second rirbt up to the pin from well over 100 yards out. and holed a threr. to win. one under boger. The seventh, haired in fours, was notable for a beautiful recovery by Geonre from a bunker on the edee of the ereen. Exdioctinc out. he laid his third absolutely dead. At erery bole in the round bosev or better was needed to win. The weakest, was the Llth where all sot. fours, bnt Georce railed to hole a short putt for a three and a win. The contrast of strips was interestiuff to the onlooker, the effortless ease of Moss contrasting particularly with the trciaendous power shown by Morpeth. The 1 fitter, fresh from his Australian tonr. tub naturally watched rery closely. He started tmcertaiii.br. driving n. lone ball. imt.. producing a pronrmnced hook, which sent him far off the line sereral times. Later he straichteried and his efforts at. the 15th. 16th and 18th in n«rticular were exattmles of the drirjn- that impressed Australian critics so deeply.
