BOWLING.

New Plymouth bowlers are in for a busy time at Easter. Both Wanganui and St. John's Clubs will pay them a visit. On the afternoon of the final social match at Auckland, the Auckland and Taranaki bowlers gathered in front of the pavilion, when Mr. Ab. Gold water, President of the Xew Plymouth Club, said that they could not leave Auckland without bidding farewell to the members, of the Auckland Bowling Club, and once again thanking them for their hospitality, and for their good offices generally. The week had been a red letter one in the lives of the Xew Plymouth men, and would not be forgotten by one of them. He continued: "In conjunction with the commemoration cup. I have a wish with which I think you will all agree. May this cup contest, initiated this year, bind the two clubs ii\ a stronger union of fellows and bowlers, and "may we who have contested this first match be able to contest many more, and when we aie in the sere and yellow leaf, sit on the banks of our respective greens, and see future members contest it. I know it will be contested with the same friendship and cordiality as has lie . the case this year." Cheers were ' -?/■ called for the Auckland Bowline vlta'ii' Mr. Jas.
