A GOLFING TOUR.

KIRKWOOD AND HAGEN. • NEW ZEALAND INCLUDED. Now York, April 20. Hagen and Kirkwood have formed e golf team to tour the world playing exhibition matches. They will probably travel for a year.

Both players are here and aro mak. * ing arrangements to go to England, whore they will remain until after the British open championships, then returning to America for the championship tournaments. After that they propose going to Honolulu and Japan, and will also include the ■ Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, France and Spain. It is considered . the trip will be an epoch making one since it will bo the first ever attomp. by two golfers. It is understood that two important Washington golf clubs tried to engage Kirkwood, who refused in order ; to make the world's tour, but it is consid. or'ed nearly certain ho will accept a Washington position on his return. Hagen and Kirkwood intend to make a detailed study of the most important golf courses in the world, and will publish a book thereon. They will probably be accompanied by an American sports writer, especially expert in golf, to aid them in this work.
