LADY GOLFERS.

The Christchurch lady golfers who journeyed to Dunedin have been most successful. Mrs Lomax Smith is now the champion of New Zealand. It was exceedingly plucky of the Christchuich Club to try its skill against Dunedin, as this club has only been formed about a year, and the game has been played for several by the southern ladies. Mrs Lomax-Smith has from the first shown a special aptitude for and love of the game, and is certainly reaping a reward, having won two medals in Christchurch, and now carrying oil from Dunedin the champion piize of a very handsome tea and coffee service, and also the prize in the handicap match, a beautiful salad bowl.

On the last Bank holiday several Blenheim bachelors drove into I’icton with the idea of having a picnic in the afternoon and a dance in the evening. The weather was not propitious, and the picnic was abandoned, but the dance, held in the Public Hall, was an unqualified success. A heavy downpour of rain kept many away, but those who were brave euough to defy the elements heartily enjoyed themselves.
