NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION* HIGH COMMISSIONER'S PRIZE. [fBOM oun OWN CORRESPONDENT.] LONDON, May 8. The Now Zealand Association is holding its annual 18-holes stroke handicap golf competition at Fuhvell, Middlesex, next week. This has been a very successful function for the past few years. Previously, the secretary of the association has arranged for the competition on a Sunday, thinking that moro players would be able to get away. This year he circularised golfers, suggesting a week-day, and just as many acceptances were forthcoining. It is evident that New Zinlanders in London do not let their work interfere with their golf. Mr. T. M. Wilford, High Commissioner, is presenting a prize for the competition. Unfortunately, owing to the injury to his knee, he will not himself be able to play., but ho has promised to be present at tlio luncheon.
