EASTER BOWLING

INTER-SECTION GAMES RAIN STOPS PLAY Play in the Auckland Bowling Centre’s three competitions. Easter Fours, executive Fours, and First-year Players* Fours, was continued on the Carlton Club’s greens yesterday. Rain in the afternoon unfortunately put an end to the day’s play, which was resumed this morning. •The skips met yesterday morning, and decided on the adoption of the two-life system for the inter-section play in the Easter Fours competition. Play was scarcely up to the usual standard owing to the effect of the rain on the greens overnight. The following are the two-lifers left in: J. Dick, Ponsonby. Milner. Rocky Nook: George, Epsom: Turner. Carlton; Ball. Carlton: Wrightson. Carlton; Jury, Ponsonbj*. The one-lifers are: T. Dick, Grey Lynn; Roberts, Dominion Road; Keailev. Rocky Nook; Coburn, Whangarei; Russell, Remuera. The following were eliminated at the end of the second round: Graham, Remuera; Snedden, Carlton; Kenny, Onehunga: Blackwell. Waitemata; Arntman, Remuera. EXECUTIVE FOURS CARLTON WINS The Carlton team, which was skipped by the club’s secretary, W. Arey, established a great record of wins, nine, in succession, and then it succeeded in disposing: of Armstrong's Pukekolie rink in the final game. Armstrong scored nine singles and a two in 19 heads, hut was 31 points down. The Carlton team scored only one single, but had a preponderance of twos and threes.

FIRST-YEAR PLAYERS

The first game in the tie for section A in the first-year players’ fours between Pilkington, Te Papapa, and Purdy, Edendale, resulted in a win for the first-named, and in the next game something of a* sensation happened, when the winner met Brown. Carlton. The score was 24 to 19 in Pilkington’s favour, with one head to play, but the Te Papapa team failed badly, with the result that Carlton notched a five and won by one point. The tie in section B between Renton, Hallyburton Johnstone, and Cuswortli, Stanley, was played off, and resulted in a win for Renton after a very even game, the final score being 19 —18. The final between Brown and Renton will be played off at the Carlton

green at 12.30 p.m. on Saturday . Following are details of the play: Section A.—First tie: Obert. Burton. Wilson. E. Pilkington (Te Papapa). 21. v. Rattray. Banks. Maud. S. Purdy (Edendale). 14.

BLACK MAGIC

CURING WHOOPING-COUGH POTIONS FOR COOL LON ERS ' London must be tbe most supc stitious civilised city in the world said Mr. S. J. Mulqueen. assistant curator at the Cuming Museum. Southwark. recently. A remarkable collection of present day mascots and charms has been ; gathered there. “Hundreds of superstitions which breathe of ‘black magic’ and Witcher' are still in use all over London." MMulqueen said. “In Dockland, nearly j all the sailors will be found carrying charms against illness and ship j wreck.” The collection of charms include* cures for whooping cough, wares on : the hands of delinquent lovers. Horsewith croup, sick cows and rheumatism are all provided for. Dragon’s Blood on Friday For whooping cough, for iustanc., : one snatches a hair from the bead of i the whooping child, sandwiches it be tween two pieces of bread, and hands jit to a passing dog. This being done the cough is tor should be) transferred from the child to the dog. When your lover is cool try a strange potion which consists of Dragon’s Blood. In some secret fashion this should be used just be | fore midnight on Friday, should the ; spell work, there will be no nerd t-< wail “Lover come hack to me." Fri day night is Dragon's Blood night. Scaring Away Witches ' If your horses develop rickets, nr whatever it is that horses derelov'. take a hint from the museum and hang up a rant’s horn attached to a key. This is said to scare awat witches, and should bear the insertp tion: — Hang up the stone and shears to stare I Hence the witch that rides the male Rheumatism has inspired black magic. Dozens of beads, made from 1 acorns, stones, animals’ teeth and j wood are recommended as “cures." A child who wears a necklace mad* ! from either oak-apples or imitation j coral is considered immune from I diphtheria.
