Owing to the. shortening of the evenings, it was decided to play only 19 heads, but by strenuous play on the part of the holders, several heads Avere “killed,” and the game proceeded until after darkness had fallen, and the final heads were played by cande light. -- On the 18th head the scores stood 22 all, and when the skips went up the head was in favour of the holders. Ross, for the challengers, put in a “fast one,” and after the bowls bad come to rest a careful inspection by the aid of the cadle disclosed that the challengers were one up. McColl failing to locate the head with his last ball, the game ended one up in favour of the chal- y lengers. The details are: — Challengers. Holders.
