The field in the British Amateur Open Golf Championship was re- duced to sixty-four to-day when the third round of the competition was concluded. The joint favour- Ites, John Dawson, the best of a number of American competitors, Cyril Tolley and T: P. Perkins still survive, though the American and Perkins have both, had severe Lusales.

The only real surprise up to the present has been the elimina- tion of Roger Wethered; a former holder of the title, by William Bullock, of Cathkin Braes, who has been playing uncommonly good golf this season,

Course Controversy, T. P. Perkins, the holder, figured in a widely discussed in- cident occurring in the morning, Perkins refused a request of the pair following to play through on the grounds that such a request was most unusual in a champion- ship. His opponent, J. Stroyan, of Sunningdale, was willing, but Perkins would not give way on the point. He eventually beat Stroyan by six up, and five to play, ..

In the third round, Perkins was not in the same dazzling form Opposed to 0. Shankland, of St. George's Hill, his match proved to be one of the most sensational struggles in the history of the; championship. Shankland played extraordinarily well, and at the end of eighteen holes, the match was still undecided. Four extra holes were necessary before Per- king qualified for the next round; the 19th, 20th and 21st were halved, but Perking holed out a stroke better at the 22nd.

London, June 12. Important pronouncements re- garding the Labour Government's attitude towards the development » of civil aviation were made at the Air League dinner, held to-night.

Commander Kenworthy, the well- known Labour MP., stated that ho had the authority of Lord Thomson, Air Minister, for saying that the Labour Government was prepared to give every assistance to civil aviation.. acroplanes as a great aid in the regarded consolidation of the Dominions and the Colonies, and hoped within a measurable time to have à regular Air Mail Line in the West Indies, and other's to the Cape and Australia.

The Goverment

The Government also considered it an immediate need to have a line of aeroplanes operating across the North Sea, connoting Ireland with the European and Asiatic air routes.

The Labour Government, hald Commander Kenworthy, interested in aviation because it stood for peace between the peoples of the world.-Reuter..
