BLACK BROTHERS' BATTLE.

Squally, spiteful- weather spoilt good cards during the week-end, but Rana Wagg did a 72 in the morning in his match against R. O. Chesney in the semifinals of the Hutt championship. It was a remarkable card, with four 6's in it, and he did the first eleven holes in one over 4's, truly _ remarkab_*_.rd on such a day, counting in the -extra length of the new ro igh holes, where a dropped stroke is the rule, with even the best players, owing to two poor greens.. Wagg won his match 6 and 4. The Black brothers had a dmg-don_ match. J. L. Black had slightly the better of the first half, but it ended all square. He won the first two holes ol the second eighteen, but was still only 2 up with four to go. H. A. squared the match when his opponent was dormy two. :an*d intense .interest 'was shown by the gallery which followed, the finish. At the-thirty-eighth, both being: all square ,ai the'thirty-seventh, H. A. .Black was green ■high to the left against the strong wind with his second, .while J. L. Black', whose foot slipped when playing his second, was short o. the green with his third. H. A. Black'laid his ball within .four feet ol the hole with his third. It was a downhill putt, with the wind-behind it, and a good deal.of borrow to allow for, and he missed it, and the chance' of victory, halving the hole in 5. A keen tussle ended on the fortieth greon in J. L. Black's favour,- -1 up •at - the • fortieth. Rana. ..Wag. and J. L. Black meet in the final next week. ■ HUTT v. _£______.
