WELLINGTON CENTRE'S TOURNAMENT. - A' SOLID DAY'S PLAT. ' " Tho gods *: wcro. exceedingly kind" to tho bowlers yesterday, when tho " Wellington Centre's ■ first tournament was opened in. -per- ; foot weather. . There was hardly a cloud in the Bty, and th« sun Bhane down with, midsummer warmth on tho perfectly prepared' j greens, which were all, without exooption, in tournament' form. 'For once tho.players, almost to o' man; obeyed the in junction of the centre, and came out in all tho glory of their, ■ club colours, which, combined wifih tho white ■ flannels (despised of Kipling), made.a pretty ,sliow against tho brilliant green of the Bward. Hio games commenced on the. various-greonß at a fow minutes, after 9 a-m., and were • continued (with an intermission for lunchl; throughout the day. ;As the day wore on the i gentle zephyr of the early morning'developed into r a boisterous northerly breeze,- jwhich tended to make bowling more diffioult and less pleasant, but in no wise dampened ,the zeal which was manifested in the play. - ; - .• This is tho first tournament held under tho auspices of the Wellington Bowling Centre, . the members ;of which (with Mr. T. L. Churchward as secretary) deserve all. credit • for the complote arrangements made, and the '■'smooth-running marinerjin.. which" the games were. got off. • -There was a good attendance of the fair bos in the afternoon, a'nd:th'ehos- ■ pitality dispensed was much appreciated. :••• Tho:clubs were: represented-- asr.folkw.f?irTho following aro tho rinks engaged:— "WELLINGTON CLUB." 1 : Adams, Watson; Focke, Crane (s.) - .

NOTES. ■ On-yesterday's play the only skips to go through without a ■ loss: were Sicvwnght (Sections 2) and Prince Section 3). Sievwright had safo margins up till 'the last game, when ho met Sexton, of Newtown, who gave him a solid-run right up to the finish, the Wellington skip managing to score one on the last head. Tho redoubtable iPrince—veteran of a hundred tournaments wen' by comfortable margins ;—20—13, 20 —13, SO—7, and 27 —11. It was m the seoond'-'game: against J.'- P. Campbell -~ only that; things looked a little shaky, tho Kelburno man piling up 8 to Prince's 1, but by sheer generalship the Prince of skips pulled up, and landed an easy winner. In .Sections 1, 4, 6, and 6 there-are several : skips with only, one loss, and all are hoping ■ to get to-day; '. : ; v:iThe_ record trouncing .for .the day' was that . administered by Robieson (Thomdon) to : Lewer (Karori). : 7.:The 'latter ' only ■ managed : .to Bcore Thomdon skip piled-up'2B./-."lt was unkind.. i _ There, is.-ill-luck.in-.the number.l3l . Ballinge;:, placing M'Kerrow, ■ arrived at 13 on 1 the eighth lead, to Mac.'s chagrin, -who had only-put oa an aco, and there'ho 1 jtack until ; Thomdon'a" veteran' 'Ekip had scored 14, by which time:,;the thirteenth . head 'had been reached. It .was too. much, for Ballinger. Ho started again,. and put on 2 in. the four-' : teenth, and one each in the last two heads ; and won;amidst excitement.. : 1 Lockie, < the-' Wellington* skip, a-.- given ■ credit for putting'down, the-champion shot - in yesterday's play. It occurred in Moult's • game against Avery on the Victoria green. His opponents laid , six ion .tho last head when t Lockie, as Moult's No. 3, had te put down , his last bowl. : "He'played with an'Bft. draw, h ' and : : about Bft.'' strongj;" and managed- to' ; draw the shot. His bowl-.bit a jack-high i bowl lyiiig- 3ft. ' away, snicked in -and hit ■' another on inside, and, the wind', asv sistmg, helped him to lie actually in front of tho jack. ■ • ,V - The judges were as follow Wellington •: green—Messrs. W.
