their prospects by giving another disap pointing display. Fifeshire beating them by a wide margin. The "Wee County's" defenders offered a very feeble opposition to the varied astack of their opponents, while there was also a marked falling off in their fielding. Fifeshire, on the other hand, showed a marked improvement in every department, Their batting was sound. Polec, who were the lenders in the Western Union Championship, only made a draw of their match with Clydes dale, and West of Scotland are now the enly club with a full percentage of paints.

LADIES' GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP.
June 24th.
Mrs. H. G. Percy, Alnmouth, won the Scottish Ladies' Golf Championship nt Gullane, by beating Miss Elsie Grant Suttie. Longniddry, formerly Open as well as National Champion. in the single round anal by one hole. The new Cham- pion has come to fame at & bound. With ber change of name by marriage and her twelve years' residence in England, sport, in these parts had more or less lost track' of the Miss Gertrude Mitchell who played. hockey for Scotland. She has played most of her golf in Northumberland, of which country she recently won the cham- pionship. She began to come into notice when, in partnership with Misa Strain, Turnberry, she competed in the Eve foursomes, and news of her exceptional approaching and putting began to get about. Right through her progress in the Championship her chips and putts either won matches comfortably for her Mrs. or turned the scale in tight ones. Percy has a short, rather stiff-looking swing which makes her comparatively short through the green, but within her range of the pin she has played many steady strokes, though her success has turned largely on the extraordinary num- ber of putts she has holed from distances that are usually well served with the re- gulation two.
PRESTWICK
Prestwick, the scene of the Open Cham- pionship, is, from a spectator's point of view, thoroughly delightful. It is full of tragic possibilities for competitors;
meaty"
incidents abound. Players come by sudden and sensational ends, That terrifying first hole skirting the railway Off the rails there and on to the iron rails and a player gets a nezva shattering start. Then follow the capac ious Cardinal bunker, the innocent look ing and bonnie wee burn skirting the fourth, and the towering saadhills of the Himalayas I recall the late Ben Sayera spending a rickering few minutes on the Himalayas, With every blow at the ball poor wee Ben kept slipping further down the treacherous lopes It was a moving picture! Of Prestwick's beauties. and merita as a course there is no question. Mr. Bernard Darwin, in his latest book, saya Prestwick has no enemics He de clares: A man is less likely to be con- tradicted in landing Prestwick, than in singing the praises of any other couree in Christendom. There are probably more people who would put St. Andrews (Continual on next Column).
