SYDNEY, April 16. The Kirk-Windeyer Golf Cup team returned to Sydney to-day. They had no excuses to offer for their defeat. They paid tribute to the great hospitality extended to them in New Zealand. They found the Middlemore course on the short side. The fairways were exceptionally fast, and the greens were also fast and true. Apperly described Horton as. the best iron player he had yet seen.
