BOWLING.

The second game for the Nye Ferns this season was played yesterday afternoon, the challenging rink being skipped bv Barr. The game was somewhat one-sided as regards the scores, but nevertheless was very enjoyable, the weatherconditions being very favourable. ' Three fours, a five and a six were recorded during the play, making the game somewhat remarkable on this account. Barr led off with a four on the first- head, and one on the second, but the third recorded a four in favour of Koore. On the seventh head Barr was eight and 1 Roore six, but from then on Roore’s rink did most of the scoring, the game ending, Roore 33, Barr 10. The following are the rinks: — Thomson, Huntley, Smith, Roore (s), 33, Simpson, Downes, Admore, Barr (s), 10.
