Tho last annual conference, ;under tho auspices of the Northern Bowling Association, was held in the Chamber . of Commerce rooms. The president (Mr. M. Casey) presided over a .good attendance. The chairman explained that the, tournament'just being played was pie last'that would be held under the Northern Bowling Association rules. Manj- Would regret this,' but he expressed that the same good feoling wolild,bo* maintain-! Ed under the regime of the New Zealand Bowling Association as had existed 'under the. present association. : He invited suggestions from visiting bowlers as recommendat'ons to be submitted to the new association. The secretary of the Northern Bowling Association (Mr. J. J. Roberts,, of Wellington) informed the meeting that tho New Zealand Association would take-over the control of howling in September of next-year. Tho North Island .would,-have five representatives on the new- council and the South Island five. The'various centres in each island, .could, non\innto enndidates for office, and. the ' northern centres would vote for the 'election/only of the five northern representatives,' and the southern centres would;' blilj-''voti for the southern -representative's, ' The term of office would be for 12 moaths,' &nd tho.

idea at present was that the. headquarters should lie movable. Some idea as to what should be centres was wanted, and ho. called on the visiting delegates for suggestions. Eventually recommendationswere adopted that the North Island should consist of.eight'centres, tho Auckland district to bo divided into two. • Recommendation that, the New Zealand Association should hold one tournament in the."North Island and another in tho South Island, on different dates next year was carried. /It was further recommended that the champion rinlc of the North Island tournament' should .meet that of the South to decide the championship of tho Do,minion. . . ,rJ .. Professor. Walker moved, and it' was carried, that a- permanent secretary should be appointed- to the new association. Mr. Cohen, of Wanganui, made a strong protest against the use of the Scottish standnrd bawl. A man who played with narrow bowls should not be tolerated oir the grsens. lie expressed the liopo that bowlers'would'-riot allow the game to be spoilt by this unsporting element, which had shown a tendency to creep 111. The remarks of Mr. Cohen were received witfi prolonged applause, and other speakers stated that the question of the narrow bowl had been . a standing grievance for a number of years. : , Tile meeting concluded after placing on record the splendid services rendered by Mr. Roberts as sec;etSry of the Northern Bowling Association. .
