HeretEiunga, Saturday. The New Zealand golf tournament was continued at Heretaunga this mdrning. The n-orth-wester continues, but now carries rain squalls, which make conditions more trying than hitherto. A gallery attaehed itself to Shaw and Collins. Shaw played well, and Collins proved a worthy partner, doing the round in 75, including brilliant. twos at the third and ninth. Shaw went out in 35 and hack in 37 for 72, the figures being: Out, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 5, 3, 4, 4,; in, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, L 3, 4, 4, . Coming ih he took three putts at the thirteenth and fifteenth. Tlie Best Round The best 'round came from Sime, who,, after an outward trip of 38, came hack brilliantly in 33, getting tlirees at the tenth, iourtee'nth, fifteenth an.d seventeenth. His second was thirty feet froim the pin at the seventeenth, and he ran down a great putt. His card read : Out, 6, 5', 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5, 4-; in, 3, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4/ ' . ' A. D. S. Duncan was again right on his game and did the r-otind in 73. His outward journey was done in 36, his figures being '5," 3, *3, 5, 3, 5, 3, 6, 3. For the inward journey the figures were 4, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3. Afternoon PIay Shaw was lucky being out early in the afternoon, the rain holding off until he reached the sixteenth, when it commenced to fall heavily. Shaw made the most of his opportunities. He went out in 33 with great golf, his card reading, 4, 3, 2, 5, 3, 4, 4, 5, 3. For a time it looked certain that he would break 70. The rain unsetfcled him and he slipped putts on the last two greens, takirig fives and finishing 71, to make an aggregate of 289 and giving him the open championship for the third suceessive occasion. A. D. S. Duncan kept up steady form with bad -weather practieally all the way. He handed in a card for 74, Which was good enough to give him an aggregate of 294 and to be r'unner-up. The third man was the prof essional Douglas, with 76, giving an aggregate of 298. Duncan's card read: Out, 5, 4, 3, 5, 3, 4, 5, 5, 3; in, 4, 3, 5, 5, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5. The fourth round constituted a great performance, despite the fact that he was playing on his home eourse. Moss did a fine concluding round of 70, 35 each way. This was a magnificent performance under the conditions, and gained for him the Jellicoe Cup for the best single round in the Open Championship.

The Ghallenge Vase, presented hy the late Denis O'Rourke, for the in-ter-elub teams mateh, deeided ih conjunction with the third round, was won by the Hutt Club with an aggregate of 310.
