BOWLING.

NEW ZEALAXDKRS ON TOUR. A BAD DEFEAT. Received April 14, 10.5 p.m. Adelaide, April 14. The New Zealand bowlers played their second and final game against South Australia on. the Adelaide oval. As the visitors had to catch the afternoon train for Melbourne at 4.30, the game was begun at 1.30 and was limited to 21 ends. The weather was dull, with a few spots of rain, which made the c'Oueli grass stand up, and the greens were not quite keen enough for the visitors, although they played truly. Walker and Hain met again, and they had a line tnssell, which was even until towards the linish, when Walker got a liver, which won for hhn by that majority. Hain and Thompson both played well against a strung rink. Clarence 1 .Moody got an initial break of 10 oil Goldstein, who recovered some points and then went to the, bad again, Maynard played several good shots, but Goldstein was clean off colour and could never get the strength of the green, Hodart led Bentley a merry dance. The New Zealand skipper was unwell, but Smith did good work lor hinl. Hill, who had a good all-round team, had a close . go with Bishop, whose men played well, r Walsh always led Allnut's rink, in which ; the captain, with saving shots, was the most conspicuous player. During their rush visit the New Zealanders had a busy time, and are delighted that they changed their itinerary to include Adelaide.
