BOWLING CARNIVAL

« — PERFECT WEATHER : CHAMPION PAIRS CONTINUED BOWLS BY ELECTRIC LIGHT The Dominion Bowling 'Association's tournament continued morrily under superb weather conditions yesterday. Thanks to the sun's largesse those engaged are beginning to show flaming red feces, skinned noses, and a tendency to regard anything else in the, wide world as of subsidiary interest to the ancient game, said to have been played with rocks by pre-historie Britishers whjrn the world was young. "I see a British battleship has been torpedoed," remarked ono spectator at the; Wellington green yesterday, wliilst glancing over the paper. "Yes." said, another,' "but did you sec Kilgour draw that" shot!". That exactly describes the frame of mind of at least a proportion of the players engaged in,the tournament. AVithout doubt a big tournament in fine weather is a most absorbing recreation, and those engaged are really as patriotic a body of men as there are in New Zealand. Thoy :have proved it over and over again in tho liberal they have made, not only as private citizens, but as clubs. 'Clio' present tournament is being played on purely patriotic lines. No winner of a championship will receive more than a "scrap of paper" to say so, and every penny over and above expenses will be devoted to patriotic purposes. The electric light tournament held last evening and to bo continued this evening has been arranged especially to augment tho fund, and without any question the unique function'was an entire success.

The president of.tho Dominioii Bowling Association (Colonel Collins-, accompanied by representatives of the Press, paid a visit to some of the City igreens .yesterday morning. The weather was at "its very best, and every green was looking as well as careful attention could make them. In order to encourage the groenkeepers to make their lawns' as perfect as possible for the tournament, tho Wellington Bowling Centre offered prizes of £3 3s. and £2 2s. for those which were considered the best greens, and in order that there should be no suggestion of local prejudico a committee of. three outside bowlers, Messrs. Wakeman (Pahiatua), Saywell (Feilding), and Chegwin (Christchurch), were appointed to act as judges. The judgment of the committee which is to award the prizes for tho best prepared green will be awaited with interest. It is not difficult to guess tho first prize winner, but the second might (jive some little trouble. BY ELECTRIC LIGHT, BOWLS AND MUSIC. I Tho function held by clcctric light at the Wellington Bowling Club's green last evening was au altogether pleasurable al fresco entertainment, quite suitable to tho weather and tile holiday season. A vast concourso of people were present, indeed so great was the crowd that there was some little difficulty in moving about tho grounds. On the greens a little 10-head tournament was played between teams of visiting players, who took just as much interest in the games as if they counted in the championship. Two rounds were played during tho evening. Tho winners will play off at tho continuation of tho electric light carnival this evening. In addition to the tournament there was "howlers' roulette," in which competitors, who had to' bo bowlers, wero asked to draw shots on to numbered squares on a sheet outspread on tho green, and if they were sufficiently skilful could win a trifle thereby. The contest was ono of pure drawing skill, and as such attracted considerable attention, and proved a sourco of rovenuo to the fund to bo benefited. Moving smilingly among the poople wera a number of charming girls, who dispensed "luekv envelopes," sweets, cigarettes, ctc. The envelopes had a ready sale, and the commercial men. who vreVo located in a marqueo on tho tennis lawn, were kopt busy cashing orders tho wholo of tho evening. Whilst all "tho fun of tho fair" was in progress below, a very attractive concert was given on the balcony, under tho direction of Mr. 10. J. Hill. Besides tho energetic promoter, tho singers who contributed included Misses Minn. Caldow, Jonce, Mrs. Lux, Messrs. H. Wood, Charles Moore, Mr. Frank Thomas Mooro. The Trontham Camp Band contributed several items to tho programing. About 1100 tickets were sold at the gates, and as many more woro disposed of beforehand, it is calculated that there wero over 2000 people present. TO-DAY'S PLAY. The rink plav will he continued on all greens throughout to-day, and this evening tho electric light tournament will bo continued.
