BOWLING.

On Saturday afternoon op the local bowling green there was an interesting practice game some 18 players taking part. The green though naturally somewhat heavy after the recent rain rolled out exceptionally well, and it was a matter for regret that the promised matches with the Christchurch bowlers were unable to take place, as the conditions would have »been very satisfactory.

During the tea interval there was an interesting ceremony when ]he Ret. J. AY. Hayward on behalf of the link that went to Nelson at Christmas time and proved successful in winning the rink trophy at the tournament there presented to the Club an enlarged photograph of the xuccesslu! rink, suitable it allied.
