Some of the men engaged in the construction work at Mnngaweka viaduct got rather a shock tho other day. They were “ celebrating ” the placing in position of tjie last girder, which was hardly done before about 15 or 20 men received bits of paper notifying that their services would be na longer required. Needless to say their tune was soon changod. ' Tho blessing of tho Church seems to rest on the game of bowls in Auckland (says tho Free Lance). Probably that is the reason why it takes nine clubs in that city to accommodate the crowd who rush from work to practise on tho kitty. Dr. Lenihan, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Auckland, was playing No. 2 in a Ponsonby rink on Saturday, while tho Rev. G. H. Monro (Presbyterian) and the Rev. W. Beatty (Anglican) were also skipping rinks up at Remuera.
