Mark Seymour, winner of the event last year, was beaten in the first round of the Dunlop-Scottish Match-Play Championship, on the course of the Panmure Club, near Carnoustie, recently. when he lost by two holes to D. Millar, of Blair- ! gowrie.

Seymour took the lead at the first hole, but Millar drew level j at the third. Millar was bunkered at the fourth, which he lost, "and the holder retained his lead to the turn, which he reached in 35 stro- ! kes against Millar's 38. The next Ave holes were halved. Millar drew level with a 3 at the 15th, where Seymour was bunkered, and took the lead for the first time at the 16th, where the holder was again trapped in sand. Seymour looked like winning the 17th. but Millar
