PROFESSIONAL GOLF.

GREAT FINAL AT SYDNEY.

The final struggle between the brothers, Carnegie and Walter Clark, in the professional golf tournament at Rose Bay, Sydney, prowled a fine match. From beginning to end the golf was hirh-class, and, as it should be in bigj golf, when anything westt wrong the peipetrator bad to pay the penalty. All thß same, few chances •wore given. Twelve |of the morning holes were haWed, and 34! in the afternoon. It was a delightful straggle. The halves were not secured iiothont some nerveracking shots, but wither player flinched. The weather was almost spring-like, and in the later' staged ib® following must have numbered 600.! The GovernOr-Gene-ral, Lord Foreter, wjas conspicuous among the very earliest followers, and in the afternoon he rrfereetl tfa© match. Going out the first time, Walter took 35, and turned 3) up, Carnegie being inst the 3 strokes Worse. At the end of the first 18 holes there was but two holes between the brothers, and again jnst the difference of two strokes, the cards reading:—Walter Clark: Out, 4, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3 f 5, 4, 4—35; in, 3, 4, 4, 6, 3' 5, 6, 3, 5—39. Total, 74. Carnegie Clark's round was: (Out, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 6, 4, 4—38; in, 4, 4,; 4, 5, 3, 5, 5, 3, 5— 3a Total, 76. t _ • . In the second rouird, althougn Uaraegie took a long time to overhaul his brother, he early looked a winner, threatening to go down from any distance 20ft. and upwards, •while Walter was not putting with confidence. Time and again Carnegie's ball hung on the top of the hole, and Walter was kept straining for the half. At the fifth, Carnegie got the first one back, and at the turn the position remained still in favour of Walter, 1 up. A ■•sbysri'Jii brought the players level at tho fourteenth, and a great finish went to the 37th hole, where Walter was again stymied and sank both, balls in the effort to get dov.'Qtt, ' '■■ -.-,'" ■
