Simmonds, Dykes and Ilughan (Carterton). At the 12th head there were B) all, and, with 7 heads to go, the scores were 1(3 —14. From then on Kerr put on 5 and 2, to Ilughan \s 1, winning by 24 to Hi. The runnersup in the A section were Fielding (Ilntaitai), and Ramsay (Hataitai), with 3 wins and one loss each. In the B section, Taylor, Hazelwood, Cooper and Crawford (Ilataitai) and Spiith, Hart, Fisher and Whyte (Carterton). lead with 3 wins and one loss each.
