The rain held off and a stiff westerly wind made golf suficient- ly dimeuit and interesting when, at half-past 9, Moreland drove the first ball of the Championship against Oulmet. And what 1 match this was: a true pleasure to witness and a perfect model for all our young players to imitate. Here was no wasting of time, no fussing, no attitudes, no lying on stomachs; it was beautiful golf, beautifully played, and the 18 Coles were finished in s few minutes. more than two hours Quimet, who was putting well, ever for him, began with a 3, and Moreland promptly countered himself with a fine run-up and putt with a 2 at the second. A serles of perfectly steady halves followed, and then Oulmet, ran away with three holes in a row, holing "one very long putt for a 3. He was out in 33-magnificent golf.

Ouimet lost yet another hole at the 14th, where, for once, he missed a holeable putt. He stopped the rat by winning the 15th in 4, and two more 4's left him all even with one to play. After all this splendid golf the last hole was a little disappointing. Moreland played a good pitch to take the ball cican and go for his 3, but he fluffed the shot and took 5. the one weak stroke I saw from these two fine golfers.
