GOLF.

Our Wellington correspondent states that the golf season was opened in Wellington on Saturday, when there was a very large attendance of members. A mixed foursome, for •which Mrs H. D. Bell gave prizes, was won by Mr George Todd (formerly of Dunedin) and Mr Ritchie (one of the lecturers at Victoria College). They came in with the very fine score of five up on bogey. The club is receiving large accessions to its ranks. Twenty-five new members have joined this month. The new clubhouse is a decided acquisition to the links. Amongst the visitors on Saturday afternoon were Mr Justice Denniston, of Christchurch, and the captain and officers of H.M.S. Tauranga. OTAGO GOLF CLUB.
