Ho Ka Lau, and Mrs. Ho Ka Lau, bounds at the Long Hole home, and, with Captain Stevens hitting an enormous drive down, the Elysian Fields level with the Beats Bunker, there was no more to be said. The 18th hole was halved in 5, where Captain Stevens, after another pro- digious drive right down to Robb's Bunker, was short with his second, and eventually found himself faced with a stymie he failed to nego tiate.

Stevens won it in 4 to become two up with two to play a very happy position as he had to give a stroke at the Bond Hole.

The ball caught that dominating little knob on the left of the green and curled of it down into the Pot Banker, that grave of so many hopes. To his eternal credit he got his fifth well out on to the green, close to the hole, and sank his patt for a net 5. But that wae not good ough for Captain Stevens made
