; LYALL GAY CLUB'S TOURNAMENT FIRST DAY'S RESULTS Tho first day's play in l!ie Lyall Bay Club's annual tournstmcnt took place under conditions not altogether favourable. The sky was ovcreast and a stiff north-westerly gale blew throughout the day, making form a secondary consideration to luck, for it was one of those days when any rink, however constituted, stood an equal chance of going down with tho weakest. Still, a fine, genial spirit pervaded the green, and everyone who participated thoroughly enjoyed the outing. Three games were played yesterday, and another two are to be played tomorrow afternoon; Twenty-two rinlca took part in the tournament. No one had any cause to leave the jh'ound, as tho ladies concerned in the club served an excellent cold collation at 1 p.m., and afternoon tea at 4 p.m. The .tournament was opened by the president (Hr. A. Haven), who extended a very hearty welcome to all visitors, and expressed the hope that though the weather was windy and players would have to allow for "windage" Hint they would all have fifth-man inck.
