JNGLEWOOD. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Labor Day was eagerly looked for by the golf players as a match had been arranged with the Hawera club for that day. There was just a tinge of disappointment amongst our folks when only seven players from Hawera put in an appearance, but that feeling immediately disappeared when both visitors and local members fraternised over a cup of tea at the Empire Luncheon Rooms. A four-ball match was played in the morning, which resulted in Inglewood winning by one up. Luncheon was provided in the pavilion by the local ladies, and needless to say, heartily appreciated by all. The afternoon's play was as follows, Inglewood players being mentioned first in each case: H. Thompson 0, v. O'Callaghan 0. F. Brown 0, v. Bayley, 2 up. E. Surrey 0, v. Sutton 7 up and G. Geo. Gudgeon 2 up, v. Prato, 0. J. Sutherland 0, v. Dailey, 5 up and 4. J. Darlow 0, v. Glasson, 4 up and 3. Marshall, 7 up and 5, v. Quinton, 0. Hawera winning in the aggregate by one game. On Thursday, a match will bo played and designated the Red Cross match. The entrance fee is Is, and the proceeds are to be given to the Red Cross Fund. The winner receives a trophy presented by Mr. Geo. Gudgeon. The cause being so worthy it is anticipated that a great number will nominate.
