The heat was intense. Hilton frequently .outdrove Blackwell, but throughout was lamentably short with his putts. Blackwell, though erratio, always managed his putts well. Macfarlape played golf such as has hitherto been unseen at Sandwich. He reached she turn in thirty, where Evans was five down. Macfarlane, at the fifth, secured the hole with a ten yards putt. He holed his sixth from the edge of the green, and his seventh from thirty yards. He holed his ninth from four yards, breaking all known records. Coming home, Macfarlane was not brilliant. He won the twelfth, but lost the next three. He also won the sixteenth, where Evans was twice bunkered. Ouimet admits that Stubbs outplayed him and played superior golf’; ako that he was quick to take advantage of the American's mistakes. FIFTH ROUND. ’ LAST AUSTRALIAN BEATEN. LONDON, May 21.
