F. D. Hunter, who was in second position afler Saturday's rounds, gave the winner stiff competition, leading him by one stroke at the end of the first eighteen holes yesterday. With a fine finishing round, however, Broadus not only made up the one stroke, but finished seven ahead of Hunter, who took second .place.

Incidentally, it is interest- ing to note that the Australiana scored as rapidly as Kent when play ing against counties, but only at the speed of Sussex (and Middle- sex) in Tests.
