PATEA NOTES

SOLDIERS’ PARCELS

CHAMPION'S GOLF MATCH A sporting event of great interest to general sporting public and golfers in particular, has been arranged for Saturday next, on the Patea golf links. Mr. J. P. Hornabrook, New Zealand amateur and open champion, has agreed to play a match and give a demonstration of golf shots, etc., for the benefit of patriotic funds. Mr. Hornabrook will be matched with W. G. Sutton, a prominent golfer, also M. Casey and J. G. Edwards, top players in the local club. The match will be a four-ball, played in conjunction with a medal round, and Mr. Hornabrook’s demonstration of various golf shots will round-off a particularly interesting game. Admission to the course will be by ticket, procurable from members of the committee or the Patea Patriotic Social Committee. All proceeds will be handed over to the Patriotic Social Committee for the benefit of the local soldiers' parcels fund. RIFLE SHOOTING J. HUSTON AND R. PARKER TIE FOR HAMILTON CUP There was a variable light and tricky wind on Saturday afternoon when the service shoot competition was held for the Hamerton Cup. J. Huston and R. Parker, both scratch men, scored 62. Conditions were two 7-shot shoots application at 300yds. The tie will be decided by a shoot off on closing day. Scores were: J. Huston, 30, 32, scr., 62; R.

Redfern with a brilliant 48 off the rifle—a very fine performance. Rifleman Martin thoroughly deserved his win as he has shot consistently throughout the season. First year members have shot remarkably well this year, and if supplies of ammunition are available it is certain that many of the members will become first-class shots. Scores: C.
