KIRKWOOD’S VISIT TO WELLINGTON. It had been arranged that J. H. Kirkwood, the Australian champion, and: his manager, J. V. East, of the Concord Club (Sydney), who haTe. just returned from a tour abroad, should play exhibition games in Wellington during this week, prior to their retuyn to Australia. The original idea was that Kirkwood should play Douglas at Miramar on Saturday, and be at Heretannga on Sunday, but thebe arrangements have now been cancelled. Circumstances have arisen which necessitate Kirkwood and East leaving Wellington for Sydney on Thursday, and the “New Zealand Times’’ was informed by telegram from Hamilton last evening that, rather than disappoint Wellington golfers,; they will play at Heretannga tomorrow.
