lay In the moonlight so that tho con
teStants might resume play III tho

A large gallery and II rather tight
course helped in the delay. and the
Evans trio required some tive hours
to make the circuit. One incident that
added to the prolonged heEira of this
threesome was a miSadventure on the
sixteenth green. where a stray dog
seized Chicks ball and ran away
with il.
In second place at the start Of tho
