Results of the championship matches were:— Senior.—ln the semi-final T. Casey defeated A. R. Kitto 2 up. In the final, B. M. Silk defeated T. Casey 4 and 2 over 36 holes. Casey played well to defeat Kitto in the semi-final over 18 holes, completing the course in 70, three under par. In the final, at the end of 18 holes, Silk and Casey were all square, the game being one or fluctuating fortunes, onl ysix holes being halved.
