LADIES’ GOLF TITLE

MORE GOOD PLAY AUCKLANDERS GET THROUGH; j J (Special to THE SU -Y. J PALMERSTON N., Saturday. The Auckland contingent at the New Zealand ladies’ golf tournament had a good run to-day, and put out important competitors. The most noteworthy win was that of Miss D. Horton, Titirangi, who beat the youthful South Island recordbreaker. Miss O. Kay, at the 19th hole. Miss Kay has been a bit inconsistent, but the scoring in the match to-day was fairly good for match play. Two lots of brilliant fours opened | the match, but Miss Kay won the next 1 two in 4 and 3, her card at this stage being two under bogey. It was not until the ninth that Miss Horton won a hole, but she got a 3 there, and turned for home 2 down, Miss Kay having been out in the much better score of 38 tc 42. The 10th was halved, but Miss Horton played the better at the next two, ; being three strokes lower on them than Miss Kay. Three holes were then halved, and Miss Horton became I up at the 16th, to lose it again on the 18th, where she missed a longish putt ! for a half. ; The 19th saw Miss Kay through with j her second, and with the return, Miss ! Horton winning the hole and the match.

Culling, Auckland, continued playing well, and put out Miss Acheson, Nelson, 2 and 1. Miss Culling was 5 up at the turn, having gone out in 39, but that was by no means the end of the match.
