INVERCARGILL TEAM VISITS ST. CLAIR. Twenty members of the Invercargill Club journeyed to Dunedin to . play a friendly game with the St. Clair Club over the week-end.

The results were as follow:— Fourballs. C. B. Wight and W. Clayton beat C. A. Masters and R. A. Wilson 5—4. D. C. Bennie and F. Drake beat A. Thom and M. O’Dowda 2 and 1. B. C. O’Driscoll and C. G.
