There was a tie between T. F. McKeever and J. P. Kennedy (Carrickmacross) for the Society's Cup and the Captain's Prize, each having 72 strokes. The latter won by half a stroke on the second nine, but Frank McKeever, with his score of 72, won the Patrick's Plate and the Prize for the Runner-up. The best gross went to J. McCarroll of. Wicklow with a score of 83. The Veterans' Cup was won by W. J. O'Reilly with a score of 87. In the afternoon a Fourball Competition was played, which was won by P. R. Boyd and J. D. Rooney with one up. The dinner in the Clubhouse was presided over by the Captain, J. J. Hickey, who referred to the large number of country members present, and expressed the hope that country Solicitors would support the Society to the full now that the petrol restrictions were easier. He welcomed especially two very old members of the Society who had not been with us for some years, viz., Michael Dwyer (County Registrar for Wicklow) and E. W. Mooney. Those taking part in the musical pro– gramme were R. J. Tierney, P. J. Kennedy and J. P. Kennedy, with Des. McLoughlin at the piano. The venue for the Autumn Meeting of the Society is receiving the attention of the Committee. The President of the Incorporated Law Society has very kindly suggested that the outing should be held at Greenore, and that if the members wished, a pleasant week-end could be arranged at the hotel there. Will all Solicitors interested in the Society who are not already members please communicate with the Hon. Sec., A. Marshall, 119 Stephen's Green, Dublin, who will give them full information.
