On Wednesday and Thursday flicpairs play will take place. At Hokitika on Wednesday there will be a time limit of two hours for each game, while on Thursday the time limit will be cut down to one hour forty minutes, to enable any '■notional ties to be played off that evening if necessary. At Greymoutli the time limit will be two hours on each day. On Friday the finals will 'be played at Hokitika, when the section winners ’•! the rinks and pairs will play to a finish. Both Greymouth and Hokitika greens will provide two section winners in the rinks, and four section winners in the pairs. The Hokitika green is in good order, and only requires fine weather to make it fast. The rain during the week so far has prevented as much work being done as would have otherwise have been, but a couple of fine days at. the week-end will make the green in good tournament order. The lady supporters of the Clulr are arranging for the entertainment of the players on their usual generous lines. Morning and afternoon tea will be provided for players and visitors, who will be welcomed, and are cordially invited to attend at the green at all sessions, and watch the play, which is always of an attractive and interesting nature.
