Joncs v. Sweetser.

In his contest with Sweetser, Jones became a rhythmic gulling machine. The pair had not met singe Sweetser beat Bobby in 1922, when he won the title. Jones set about avenging this with a birdie three, at the first hole, and a birdie four at the fourth, where he was 'three up. He became four up at the sixth, but made his first mistake. at the seventh, where he drove out of bounds and conceded the hole. Here Sweetser began to place his long approaches dead to, the pin. and had reduced the deficit to one down at the tenth hole. It was a dramatic fight.

Jones' lead seemed slipping away. He was two strokes under par for first six holes, but five over par in

How Second Round Went. The first round cards read as follows:

Provision Restored.

Probably this gives sufficient power to fix any date for the trial of a case-committed to the criminal sessions, but it is arguable that it only gives power to fix some date within some actual criminal ses- sion of the court.

Further, if a case is tried on some date which is not within any actual criminal session, ordinary or special, provided by Ordinance or directed by the Chief Justice, the usual rule as to commence- ment of a sentence. i.e.. that it ilates from the first day of the session, is inapplicable. For these reasons it has been decided to res- tore the sub-section in question.
