THE THRILLS OF BOWLING.

THE THRILLS OF £HE GAME. When tivo seasoned old bowlers were skipping tlieir ffifth round towards, the close of an all-day’s play on a boiling hot day last week, (says th’e Auckland Star), an aeroplane passed over head. , “Have you ever .been up in one of those?’’ asked the one of the other. “No. I never have,” was the reply, much regret your leaving ; the district, “I’ve never had any pastime except bowls, and I’ve never got above the green grass.” “Ah,” said the other, “I must drive at that bowl your third has just up; it is keeping us out of a good few.” “Have a go, and l'et gs see Avhat you can do,” replied the other skin The drive was successful, and the third at the other end held up his five fingers to show that they ive.re lying a full hand. Then the other.skip had a drive, and likeivise his third held up his hand to show that the order had been reversed, and that they AMere now three up. “Grand play!” was the observation of both, “and if those chaps in the aeroplane can get as many thrills in as many seconds as we have had, well they are having a rare time, but avc are not running the risks they are, and ; the ‘broken heads’ on the green can be reconstruction, and we are fit next .•morning for another go Avithout going to the clouds for it.”
