CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF.

DOMINION TITLE CONTESTS. OPENED IN DRIVING RAIN. EARLY SCORES IN "OPEN." (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WANGANUI, this day. After a spell of line weather, and with the course in first-class order, it was most unfortunate that the weather broke for the opening day's play of the New Zealand golf championships at the Belmont links to-day. When the early players were dispatched ther was a cold southerly wind, with driving rain, which looked like continuing all day. Consequently the conditions were most unpleasant for the players, and it was expected that the scoring would be materially affected. There is a very strong representative gathering of amateurs, and the list of professionals is larger than it has been hitherto. The following are the scores in the first round of the Open: — D. Collins, SO; M. Fenwick, 81; G. W. Ritchie, 82; D. Grey, S3; W. Lints, 83; J. Wait, 83; N. H. Fuller, 84; F. Quia, 85: M. B. Reilly, 85; R. 0. Gardner, 85; N.' Bell, 85; N. Seifert, 85; F. G.
