PROFESSIONAL RESIGNS. (PBSSS association tilegbam.) WELLINGTON, June 12. A hitch has already developed in the arrangements by which the ■ professional golf teachers were brought out to. New Zealand. The Council of tho New Zealand Association called on F. M. Dean to undertake a three weeks' tour in North Canterbury, and he refused, claiming that his engagement was for the North Island only. Mr Abbott, who is away from New Zealand. was cabled. He replied that Dean's acceptance was unconditional. Nevertheless, Dean persisted that he. would give up his position rather than go south, and the Council accepted his resignation, informing him 'that it was greatly disappointed at his action, which was regarded as a distinct breach of the agreement.
