MRS EDWARD RIDDIFORD, ot Wellington, has presented a medal to the Hutt Golf Club for competition among lady members. The rules under which it is won are the same as those for the Boyle medal of the Wellington Club—monthly competitions for a year. The first of these is to be played on Saturday, 23rd May. The tennis players have returned to Wellington from their Sydney trip in good spirits, and very hopeful of future success.
The lady golfers had a very exciting day on Friday, when Mrs G. Gould’s trophy was competed for and won by Mrs Vernon, Miss N. Reeves coming a good second, being only one behind the winner. The prize was a handsome silver buckle, designed with the letters C.L.G.C. Mrs Gould provided afternoon tea for players and friends, a large number being present.
Tennis has been very brisk at Cranmer Square courts all the week, and on Saturday presented an extremely lively appearance, all the courts being in full play from two o’clock till dark. Among the players were Mesdames Hurst, Seager, G. E. Way, Misses Van Asch (two), Marchant (two), C. Lean, Jones. Bullock, Aitken, Thomas, Harman, E. Cox, Messrs Wilding, H. Reeves, Perry, Hale, E. R. Webb, A. Appleby, H. Henderson, Bickerton, Ross, Rutherford, R. D. Harman, Laurie, Day, Seager, Styche, Croxton, Dr. Nedwill, etc.
