RIVERSIDE CLUB EASTER TOURNAMENT. LIST OF PRIZE WINNERS. The Easter tournament held over the weekend by the Riverside Golf Club, under ideal conditions, proved a very successful and enjoyable outing to club members, besides a number of players from clubs throughout the district.

The following were the eight players to qualify for the championship: Messrs D. Carruthers, F. Pool. J. Donald, O. Williams, R. Wearne, R. Harrington, L. Roff and B. Braggins. The final was played yesterday afternoon and resulted in a win for O. Williams (Tyneside), D. Carruthers being run-ner-up. Each round was keenly contested, but experience told in the final.
