It was a' ding dong iignt to ihe fiiteenth hole. Douglas lost the match toy faulty; putting. The long game of both players was faultless. M'Ewdh laid himself' a stymio at tlie first, then laid Douglas one. The Wellington player tried to cut round, missed, and lost the first hole. He won the second in a fine 5. .M'Ewen, finding a bunker off his drive, took 5 to reach the green. Douglas missed a two-foot putt for a half in 3 at the third. Ho then captured the fourth by ja perfect 4. il'Ewen's second ran . through the groen into the rough, and was trapped. Two poor shots with the,iron and then a fino putt got M'Ewen a half at the fifth, Douglas taking three putts from six yards of the pin. A lovely 8 at tho sixth made Douglas 1 up, M'Ewen failing with a five-foot putt to halve. The seconds were a bit wild at the seventh, but again superior putting won M'Ewen tlie hole in i 4. Douglas sent his second at the eighth against the fence, just escaping going out of bounds. He got a fair recovery and a 5. M'Ewen had a fino 4 and was again 1 up. Brilliant long play secured tho ninth in i all. Then M'Ewen lost his.lead at the tenth, Douglas holing a perfect 3. The next two holes were halved in s's, Douglas having short putts to win both, but tipped the hole yach time. A pulled second lost Douglas the twelfth, the Aueklander holing in 4. Playing the fourteenth M'Ewen laid a chip shot a few inches away and got a 4. Douglas hitting tho hole and jumped out for a half. M'Ewen 2 up. M'Ewen increased his lead by a brilliant 4—two long wooden shots, a pitch, and a long putt. He was now doriny three.. Douglas, won the sixteenth by-a long iron shot to the green. M'Ewen - bunkered off his drive and took 5 to find tho hole. Both players chanced two's at the short sixteenth and halved in 3, tho match going to M'Ewen by 2 up and 1 to play. .

Bidivill held Tarelia to the fifteenth hole, when a faulty iron shot made him 1 down. He lost the next in the match; 2 up and 1 to play. Both wero playing excellent golf and finished under 80.
Young Crosso put up a great performance against Turner. He went out in 41, and was going 85 home. It was brilliant golf. ' ''Morpeth always had the lead, of Lusk. The Auckland player reached the turn in 40 and was 1 up. Then a 2: a 5, and a 8 settled the match. I noticed that Morpeth's hands were badly blistered, and this may interfere with his play to-morrow.
Golfing enthusiasts will be interested to learn that Mr. E. S. Douglas,* who won the N.Z. Championship at Napier recently, used Worthington ■ three-point green halls throughout nis rounds.
