A total of 13 teams entered, and six rounds have been played. The three leading teams (City of Henderson 6 wins. Nil Desperandum 5i wins and City of Auckland B 5 wins) are all well in the hunt, but with six more games to play, many changes may take place, and the winner may come from one not so well placed. On present form, last year’s winners have to be very seriously considered, although they have yet to meet their two next nearest opponents. The Independent Order of Rechabites Bowling Association met on Monday night at Hope of Eden Tent No. 10 for the purpose of presenting the trophies won during the past season.

On Thursday next lit the Methodist ITall, Great North Road, Grey Lynn, near corner of Surrey Street, the members of the first year’s teams who played in the recent Easter tournament will try their hands at indoor bowls. Their reunion, which has been convened by Mr. Tony Jenkin, who is practically the father of indoor bowls, should be a most enjoyable one, and the greens should be keen enough to suit the most ardent of them.
