The monthly contests resulted aa follow:—Seniors: D. McKeuzie 1, H. Duckett 2, E. Petersen 3. Juniors: G. Pain 1, Basil Campbell 2, A. Petersen 3. The ladies played the handicap game for Mr W. Boyd's trophy, which resulted in a win for Miss Wyeth, Mrs Searle being second. A Challenge Cup has been instituted, to be conducted on the same lines as the Challenge Chain of the previous year.
