Mr G Gosset gets the Moncrieff Cross.

The annual autumnal meeting of the members of the Royal North Devon and West of England Golf Club were held on Thursday and Friday last, when a competition took place on the Burrows – on the former day for Sir Hope Grant’s Gold Medal, and on the latter for the Silver Medal of the Club. The weather was not very propitious, nor was the attendance of distant golfers so great as on former occasions.

Eighteen competitors entered on each day, and the six best scores stand as follows: - Thursday – Mr George Gosset, 105: Lt Col Hutchinson, 109; Mr Molesworth, 112; Mr Wynyard, Captain of the Pan Golf Club, 117; Captain Thrupp, 119; Rev I H Gosset, 120. Friday – Mr Molesworth, 108; Mr George Gosset, 110; Rev E O Vincent, 113; Lt Col Hutchinson, 115; Rev J Lymbear Harding, 121; Mr Withers, 127.

The Grant Medal was taken by Mr G Gosset, and Mr Molesworth carried off the Silver Medal, the Moncrieff Cross falling to the score of Mr G Gosset.

The Dinner took place on Friday at the Hotel, Wesward Ho! when the chair was taken by Mr Molesworth, the Rev J L Harding, the Hon Secretary, filling the vice chair.
