' CONFERENCE OF DELEGATES. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, January 14. At a conference of delegates appointed by the various bowling centres of the 'Dominion, and the Council of New Zealand Bowling Association, Air. M'Callum (president, of the council) explained that the conference was arranged for the purpose <5f discussing suggestions made by Mr., J; Allan, of Dunedin, for the alteration of the constitution and rules of the association. The suggestions could be discussed and delegates could pass resolutions recommending to' the council the adoption of any alterations that might be agreed upon. Members of council could take part in the discussion, but would not vote on any motions proposed. Mr. Allan said the present system of electing the council, consisting of five members from each island, in addition to president and vice-president and treasurer, did not provide equitable representation, inasmuch as there were seventeen centres and the smaller of these had little chance of electing r . representative. A lengthy discussion ensued, and resolutions recommending the adoption of the principles embodied in the proposals were carried. The matter of the adoption of uniform conditions, for all tournaments provoked considerable discussion. Several speakers referred to the fact that luncheon had not been provided for players.

The chairman explained that arrangements had been made by the council with a view to obtaining as much money as possible ,for patriotic purposes; Moreover, when details of the tournament were under discussion only 23 entries had been received, and it was extremely doubtful whether tho tournament would be held. •

A recomuiPiidation from the Wellington Centre that the council endeavour to arrange for visits to tho Dominion of bowling teams from Great Britain was carried unanimously.
