BOWLS

SECOND-ROUND OP PENNANTS Bright and breezy weather favoured bowlers on Saturday afternoon, and as the result every gieeu was kept folly occupied until the shades of evening began to steal across the lawn. The greens have benefited considerably by the recent rain. There wns quite the'grip of early spring in some of the greens, and with average luck in the matter of rain good rinks are assured for the holiday 'section, of the season. The- feature of Saturday's.play was the second round of the Pennants, in. which a. good- deal of interest is being taken. So far tho holders, the Wellington Club, are doing very well. On Saturday, for instance, the club put in two rinks against Kol■burn, ouo against Newtown, and two against Te Hiwi (Pennants), and every rink notched a win.

Tho results of Saturday's play are as follow:—
