Shanghai, July 13.

London, June 24. Fadgham (Sundr.dge Park, Kent) gained the crowning triumph of a wonderful seas011 before a record crowd a.. Hoylake yesterday by winning the open gout championship with an aggre- gate of 287 strokes for 72 holes
When the final stages began Padghain was level with Henry Cotton, one stroke behind the joint leaders, W. J. Cox and James
Adams.
A fighting round of 71 put him in the running, but Adamas emulated that
score! Cotton round in 70, joined Adams in the .ead, with one round to play.
He ho.ed putts of nine feet each on the first and third greens for par 4's, and putted perfectly to gain a 4 at the ninth and be out in 35.
A beautiful mashle niblick pitch enabled him.to-get his 4 at the tenth, after playing two shots in the rough, and all the way he was fighting against a tendency to hook his drives:
Padgham is always best over the last round, and all of the storming thousands who raced after him on that final effort expected him to break 70.
They

It was omninous when he took. 37 to the turn, but the tall muscular Padgham was master of himself in the crisis.
Padgham finished with another 71, and then retired to the club house to await, with philosophic | Fadgham calm, the advent of his nearest rivals.

A putt of two yards for a birdie two at the short thirteenth made him two under 4'8. He was in the rough at the Afteenth, and again at the sixteenth, taking 5 at each hoje:
Adams appeared to have spoiled his chances by taking 38 for the first nine holes, but he holed from 8 yds, for a birdie three at the tenth, and was successful with a four yarder for a birdle two at the eleventh to keep well amongHe was over the leaders,
