The draw is also an- nounced for the first round of the Senior Cham- pionship.

S. V. Gitting' scora up to the 34th hole was 43, 47, 47 and 85-172; Lee's score was 50, 47. 45 and 37-179. These gures, considering handicaps and the state of the Course, are remark- ably good. Gittins was four up at the end of the Arst 18 holes, and Lee reduced the lead to three at the end of 27. Winningi the first two holes of the last nine, Lee was then only one down. They halved the thirtieth, but the 31st and disastrous for Lee, and 32nd was
