Within t.he last few days a horse mower has been employed rutting the fairway, which will ’be more congenial to tlie members.

At present a- modal match is in pro: gross, and will be completed by July 31. It is expected that some creditable cards will be banded in. The course comprises nine holes, covering 2060yd5., with a scratch score of 36, and carries many natural obstacles, hut owing to the heavy soil and stock marks, a local rule has been framed allowing the ball to be ]daced on the fairways at t lie option of players. The club captain, Mr. F.
