Your ‘greens,’ as yow call' thyi.n, we refer to as \ ‘garden plots,’ because of their beautiful sur£ roundings, and nowhere in New Zea|laml have we played on a poor green.'-. One shot that the New Zealand bowlers make to perfection is. what, they term the ‘yard ovqr’ shot,-but . )ve in Canada refer to it as the ‘overdraw.’ Never , before in my .life have I witnessed this shot so cleverly; made, as in the Dominion of New Zealand.”; ,
