Yesterday Miss ! [Oliver Kay displayed some of the best I •golf seen here for years, with Mrs I Fullerton-Smith running her a very jgood second, '['he footwork of lhe j Tasman Cup visitors is one of their i j most notable features. They stand* firmly throughout the stroke and I Miss Horwell especially has ease of balance that; is good to see.”
