Much interest was taken on Monday by members of the Golf, Section of the K.C.C. in competi• tions arranged for the holiday. In the morning, a one-club com- petition was played, as a result of which Mr. G. W. Avenall and Mr. W. T. Elson tied with scores of S6 each. In the afternoon, these two competitors played off, and Mr. Avenall won. A Four- somea match between sides captained by Mr. H. Overy and Mr. J. Hyde resulted in the former scoring three points and the latter one point.
