NEW ZEALAND BOWLING ASSOCIATION TOURNAMENT

THE PAIBS -CHAMPIONSHIP.

The -weather was fine, bxtt «hirisg the earlier t/art °f '* n€ day a- south-west wnd ; rather disturbed the accuracy of Ac .dra-w -ori v ßoine of .the -greens. ,lii the -afternoon, especially .towards the end, it fell calm, «net ; -fhe only -thing comgetitois had to -complain, of was little eccentricities of- the igresn_ on • which they happened to be playing, Uuxogh it must be said that in the "vast majority of cases these were not of a pro--nounced * dhaTac&er. As on the first day, the tournament proceeded OTceedingly ~smoothl.y.>_Theee in charge of lihe -greens, aB a rale, -carried out their -duties -well aad : •-efficiently, but in a few cases they did -notseem -to realise "that, -there^ *was Tmt little •use in/posting a card for- detailing "the re-. -suits if Ihose results ,wer© Tibt filled "in 1 . ;" - It is^out of' -the qusetion'to'eive anything, lik© an account 'of •'Tiow all "the" games J won and^lost; but'on &c - Caledonian" i-j&iseeaj -a.^ Trory dSxws ' ejarilwtioiJ ,•<«- bojre-JinS , •was; »jrrßen- .by, >M!Xi.teii -"and- M'Mullan. i-Almost every lieaa' was'weU wortti watdT-'^lrviDe.ana'.Ballingrer-hsttda*touA %3d> in i the fifth Toiind «n the St. KaHa Green.

A good light lor a finish A7aß put up between ~V7heeler and Dall.

Play- was even, and everything dependedon DaH's last. He tried to draw 'a second, but lailed. Oaveraham- Gresen proved ratter tricky. Play between Ml#eod«.nd Finfllay was close and excitinjf. The T>lay ofif Mter -the round was continued by candle-light, 'but was not .-finished. Some excellent play was made on -Kaituna Green, -which w.aa in i^ood -condition. The finish, between Scott and -Rennle was exciting. • - Pley^rs on the Otago Green sjiffered ; practically no inconvenience Irom -wind. [ 'The green was in fair \playincr jorder .with I3»e exception one rink, which was tricky -and bumpy. There -were some interesting and exciting g&mes -durine the -day.

Speaking generally of the play* Goldstone. was drawing- much more steadily than Jacobsen^ but his play was not specially brilliant, except at times. Jacobsen never seemed to get the length, and' in one or two instances did not exhibit the best judgment. Still, he put in some really good work, and his performance "for a three -years' old player is something to Be -proud oi.
