The visiting players created a most favourable impression upon the several hundreds of golfing supporters who wero privileged to see them in action. The conditions for play wero anything but pleasant, a strong south-westerly wind, accompanied by occasional showers, affecting the accuracy of tho driving and approaching. However, tho visitors adapted themselves much better to the conditions than their opponents, and considering that the contestants played from the men's tees, apart from the fifth, twelfth and eighteenth holes, the scoring was very creditable.
