The cup presented by Mr. E. F. Bateman—to be competed for at golf between St. George's and St. Andrew's Societies—was the centre of interest at Kiangwan on Sunday. The links were rather wet, and those who were out early had to encounter sharp showers of rain. These, however, did not seriously interfere with the international match which proceeded both forenoon and afternoon. There were singles in the morning, and four ball foursomes thereafter. After a win by St. George's Society six months ago the Scotsmen were out for blood, and they got it. The morning's play gave them a very substantial lead, and securing a majority of points in the afternoon as well, they captured the very handsome trophy. England _lost points through the absence of J. H. Little, who was ill, in all two and a half going to Scotland through this cause. This, however, made no difference to the result of the match.
