hole fell to Lowson in a splendid four, after laying a long iron shot within a few yards of the hole. The following five holes were keenly contested, Lawson getting two of them chiefly owing to the faulty play of his opponent close to the putting green. The last two holes of this round fell also to the Dr.-no thanks to bis own play-altho' he had the last hole in four thus making the medico four up on the first pine holes. Starting out on the second round ho played a very strong game while bis oppo- nent also played up in much better form. The latter's driving was almost as good as the crack's but the medico's phenomenal Iron play 'seemed to paralyse the A.R.G.. when the putting greene were reached. Four of the first six holes in this round fell to Lowson the second and fifth holes being halved in five and a splendid three respec tively. The A.R.G, however now had his tam, as the Civil Hospital representative got into Inextricable difficulties on the South side of the give up the hole. The race course and had penultimate hole fell to the "Dock" in four, but the last went to Mitchell-Innes, who got home in a well played five-leaving his opponent seven up on the match. The match between Rumsey and Stewart was much closer for a time, altho ultimately the latter drew away from the Captain. At first it seemed as if Stewart was to run "away" altogether, but after the first three holes the Boss of the Harbour Office,stuck gamely to his man and managed to reduce the odds against him to one after the first round had been negotiated. During the progress of the second round, however he went to the bad, getting some rough luck as well, and towards the close came utterly to grief Mr. Stewart ending six up. Both men drove in good form most of the way, but Stewart had the pull in the short game.,
Capt. Irvine proved altogether too heavy for Dr. Craig-whose original opponant-the "Reverend Mercury-failed to turn up. The result, of this couple's game being that the Secretary put seven holes to his credit. Things were looking decidedly blue for Captain Rumsey's side more especially as some casual spectators brought rumours of the defeat of the Chief Justice by his opponent. This however proved not to be the case as Mr. Fielding Clarke, after losing a few holes to commence with, pulled up level again with his opponent and actually Janded four up the gallant Captain's face now began to lose its sad expression. Just as it was gettingdark the Hon. A. P. McEwen finished the last bole with the welcome news that he was seven up, and then the Harbour Master's face beamed with
the company plentuse-whereupon adjourned for a refresher. Kirk and Dundas were unable to finish owing to the dark- ness, the former being 6 up at the fifteenth bole, so that the Captain's side would really have had a greater victory than appears in the scare-it being decided not to count in the last men's score. Now that the stone has been set rolling, and with cooler weather and the course in better condition, we confidently predict a large increase in the number of players of the old Scotch game in the Happy Valley. We would suggest to the Committee the use of a few men with scythes at different parts of the course. Why shouldn't Samuel Brown Esq. do this as part of his impravenient scheme as there is not the slightest doubt that if the grass was cut more frequently the turf would improve in quality and would not require so much patching up. We confuss we were not a little astonished when we saw what a good putting green the golf club have laid down.
