This, however, is a small complaint at its worst, for most of the greens aro playing magnificently, and tho heart of the really experienced bowler continues to rejoice. The following are tho results of Saturday's play:— WELLINGTON V. CITY AND . • ' SUBURBS. This is one of the most popular fixtures of the year.
