MIRAMAR TOURNEY * CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS. STEADY PLAY BY MISS COLLINS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A cool southerly breeze made conditions rather cheerless for the second day of the Miramar Ladies’ Golf Club’s open championship and handicap tournament yesterday. The form displayed was not up to that shown in the qualifying rounds on Tuesday. -Players had strange lapses, some playing well in the first round only to lose form in the afternoon. The following are the results:— Open Championship. —First round: Miss S.

Stevens (Miramar), 1 up; Mrs Macßae (Wellington) beat Mrs Lewis (Hutt), at the nineteenth; Mrs Thurgood (Wellington) beat Mrs Hewitt (Wellington), 5 and 4; Mrs Pearce (Miramar) beat Mrs Horner (Greytown), 4 and 2. Second round: Miss Collins beat Mrs Forexman, 4 and 3; Mrs Russell beat Mrs Cornaga, 5 and 4; Mrs Mackenzie beat Mrs Macßae, 4 and 2; Mrs Thurgood beat Mrs Pearce, 4 and 2.

Handicap Events.—Third medal: First division, Mrs Park, 85-12-73; second division, Mrs Dudley, 86-16-70. Miss S. Collins (Wairarapa and Wellington), New Zqaland woman champion, played steadily in the first round to account for Mrs Wells by 4 and 3. Though she defeated Mrs Foreman, the Miramar champion, by the ' same margin in the second round, Miss Collins was not at her best, finding too many bunkers and failing to dig out of them at the first attempt. Mrs Foreman, who did the out journey in 38 in the morning, was right off her game in the afternoon, and could do nothing right.
