(By Wire—Special to News.) Wanganui, Last Night. The Wanganui tournament was continued today with light rain falling almost continuously. Goss and Imlay Saunders and Dodgshun and Hussey play In the semi-finals of the championship to-morrow morning. The first pair are both playing splendid golf and a keen contest is anticipated. Dodgshun, the Gisborne champion, is also in good form, and should account for Hussey. The Gisborne player returned the best gross score to-day (79), 38 out and 41 in. The New Plymouth players were again troubled by the greens, Hasell’s 1 down being the best in the morning, and Stephenson’s 93—13—30 the best in the afternoon. Several of the Waverley players are showing good form and the inter-club match with New Plymouth qu Saturday should be very interesting.
