There was no game in the Denison Pins, as the Stanley holders found that the ral i\i? m a<?e their green unplayable, and they could not obtain a rink at Devontlor on the city side of the harbour. ? same reason there war. no contest for the Hadwin Pins at Carlton, whereas on the Manukau side of the isthMs no great discomfort was caused by the light showers. This will suit the central clubs very well, just as the Jordan Pins supply reerur Sames for the eight clubs in the southern and eastern suburbs. One of it there may be a similar series ? s r the eight clubs in the northern and western areas. This would almost g ? I ? es each winter for each of these 23 clubs. King's Birthday will be celebrated by bowlers in their usual happy fashion. There will be a one-day tournament on Monday at Onehunga. Ponsonbv and Remuera Mount Eden and Hillsboro will start on Saturday, while Auckland will play its tournament on Saturday only.
