A strange incident occurred on the Port Chalmers Club bowling green recently. The president, after making the opening day speech, called on visiting bowlers to say a few words. When it came to the Mayor’s turn, a visitor stepped forward and announced that unfortunately the Mayor was very ill. Therefore, lie, as the Mayor’s representative, proceeded to convey the civic good wishes, and concluded by declaring the green qpen. There were two very much surprised men there. One was the Mayor himself, and the other was the president of the club. The latter immediately entered into an earnest discussion with the impersonator, and both walked off the green together. The president returned alone, and called on the real Mayor to speak. The “humorist” was a stranger whom nobody seemed to know.
