WELLINGTON 1 CLUB'S PAIRS/TOURNA- '" -. V "■■ ■""., MENT. •'" ■',;.'-■ :' '" ..' Despite the' blustering north-westerly wind and the grey sky, one of the most enjoyable club tournaments ever arranged took place on the Wellington Club's green yesterday. The tournament was conducted on new lines. The pairs instead of playing -together throughout the day'changed,partners' every-45 minutes or so. This was accomplished by each winning skip advancing a rink (all of which are-num-bered),' and each winning lead taking the next lowest rink. Losing skips stayed where,'they '.were, and played with the winning leads from the'next rink, whilst losing leads (also remaining where they were) played with the winning skips from the rink on the other.side. -A win. oounted one point, and a draw half a point. Among r the skips, E. J. Hill,.,with seven (out of a possible'eight) wins came out on top, and P. Fay,-with six wins, headed thd "leads."/ 1 -'The following were the scores-.(eight being the possible):— '■} '■■ ■' '•'."■'■■ . ■■.-"'■■■' Skips'.-" , •- .'' s Leads.'. . '!•'.. ' , ■'.'

.;;, v KELBUENE CLTJB. 7 : A very interesting pairs tournament" was played, on the Kelburno green,- and in spite of the blustering northerly which\blew from morn till eve, a most enjoyable day 'was spent. Certainly, on account ot the wind there wero some fearful "heads,",, but as • .one trundler observed, it was "ycrra interesting," because many a "narrah" bowl would lay up into the wind, and . maybe eventually score the' shotj while on the other hand; what under ordinary, .circumstances would have been a perfectly laid down bowl would possibly turn out a fearful "rhottor." Five rounds were played during the day, tho:winners of the first prize.being. Feist and Williamson, who went through without a "loss—a creditable ■ performance. Six teams-were left in the running for the second position, and when things had been sorted:up the final tussle took place between Watkins and Eoutley and F. Johnson and C. Smith. This proved a very keen contest, the teams being well matched, and on the, last head s'cbiJs were even. In the play-off it was anybody's game iip till the last; Eoiitley with" .his final bowl luffed well up into the wind, x and drew the shot, while Smith with his last failed by the narrowest of margins. ■'..••, ■'■"'■■: JOHNSONVILLE CLUB. ,' The following , games (Presidency.'

"They are so wise that they need 19 raciro knowledge, and so good that they need no more religion. I seldom speak so roughly a.s.in Scotland; but I never know any iir Scotland offended at plain dealing; in this respect the North Britons are a pattern to all- mankind. I .use the most cutting words, and.apply them in the most pointed way; still they hear, but -feel no more than the seats they sit upon."
