ST. PATRICK'S DAY RINK TOURNEY

MARRED BY RAIN

. .The Newtown and Hataitai Clubs joined in promoting a rink tournament yesterday, most of the clubs in the centre sending representatives. Tho greens were in admirable order —perhaps better than any others in the dis-trict—-and the play was distinctly interesting up to a point. That point was 2 p.m., when a drizzling rain dured, which very gradually increased during the afternoon, which meant that the whole of the third round had to bo played in light rain. This hardly tended to the comfort of players. Tho results wore as follow:—
