Lancashire won the first hole after lunch, to the intense, though sportingly suppressed, delight of the big crowd: lost the 2nd, won the 3rd, halved the 4th in a fault- less 3, lost the 5th, where Mrs. Garon, after fufling a pitch, hit the pin with little chip. Then she seemed to. falter, and Miss Corlett won the next three holes. She looked like adding a fourth when her very fine wooden second finished within five yards of the pin.
MISS CORLETT AHEAD But Mrs.. Garon put hers on after it, and there was a half in 4. Two up to Miss Corlett, who was out in 42 to Mrs. Garon's 44.
Then Mrs. Garon's turn came for a thrust, and she won the next two holes all, square. And after that came the ofght- successive halves, while the drenched crowd, spiking each other with umbrellas as they rushed excitedly down the fairways, began to wonder when it would be dark and what was the longest final ever known.

TARLETON FIGHTS A DRAW

London, Oct. 11. Johnny King (Manchester), the bantam-weight champion, and Nel Tarleton (Liverpool) the Feather-weight champion, boxed a draw in their long-awaited meeting at 9st, ha feather. weight limit, at Liverpool Stad- ium last night.
The contest was over 12 rounds to protect Tarleton's title, the Beard of Control having refused to sanetion it as a championship (Man- bout. Mr. Tom Gamble chester) refereed owing to the in- disposition of Mr. C. I. Douglas.
After the fight opinions were divided as to the wisdom or other- wise of the referee's decision.
