HEIGHTS OF RHETORIC
The heights of rhetoric were attained by Mr. R. Pilkington, president of the South Auckland Bowling Centre, at the opening of the Whitiora Club’s green on Saturday, to define the "ancient game.” "The game of bowls,” he declared. "offers the acme of human delight and pleasure. It offersthe nectar that Jupiter sips; it offers the draught that intoxicates the gods and sways mankind; it offers the oldest, the noblest and the purest game on this earth. ’Tis the breath of the eternal and the kisses of the immortal.” Mr. Pilkington’® remarks were greeted with applause and laughter.
