BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSN., COPYRIGHT
AUCKLAND, Dec. 21. The English Bowlers in their game at Devonport in the afternoon against rinks representing nine local local clubs. They .won five out- of nine games, their aggregate being 187 against 176. Tlic visitors gave a good display, considering they came off the boat onlv yesterday. Their good drawing was a noticeable feature of their plav. Their mode of play is different from that of the local howlers. _ Number three stands at the head with the skip until his turn comes, and he sees exactly what to play. All the players especially the skips, charge up the green after making shots, some of their desperate sprints causing amusement. Whenever a player made an especially good shot all his comrades gathered round and a bout of hand-shaking ensued. The excellent sportsmanship of the British team was a feature of the game. They said they thought that New Zealanders were very quiet and undemonstrative at howls. To-morrow a test match of four rinks against Auckland will be played.
