The qualifying round of the Shanghai Golf Club championship was played on Sunday, there was an absence of sensation.
J. B. Ferrier showed a return to his old form. He was partnered by J. G. Dickie, and probably no prettier golf was seen anywhere on the course than was put up by these two, Ferrier did a 74 in the morning, after which his task in the afternoon was very comfortable. There was no feature of his game which could be called—outstanding. He usually drove beautiful ball, but when he got into the rough it was a lesson yo watch him get out of his troubles. His game was altogether admire able, and with a 78 in the afternoon, he was easily the first to qualify, K. M. Cumming played with W.
Clay. Cumming had a 79 and 80, and he is just as attractive a player as is Ferrier. He does not get great lengths with his drive, but he was putting his short ap: proach shots on this occasion right up to the hole. It was probably the feature of the very nice exhibition he gave, and in this department he is bound always to dangerous to his opponent.
Dr. Bolton played steady, accurate His place in_ the lifting list—a tio with Cumming—shows how deadly an opponent he will be in the match play rounds, and it establishes him as one of the pre-eminent golfers of the port.
Of the new golfers to qualify there were G. A. Stewart, J. Oswald and Col. Marr Johnson, and of these probably Oswald is the most dangerous." Stewart has a very pretty style, while Col. Marr Johnson exhibits the virtue of steadiness, whicn should be of infinite value to him in the succeeding rounds. Oswald's golf is absolutely sound, and he is not likely to give anything away in the match play competition. Me-Eachran ig a golfer of somewhat the same order.
