Conclusion
In the handicap Mr Pollock and Mr Dunscombe tied for second place with a score of 6½ against Mr Rynd's 8. Mr Dunscombe with becoming grace resigned his claim to second place in favour of the distinguished visitor, and, therefore, Mr Pollock in the handicap has second prize, while he has first in the other tourney.
