NEW PLYMOUTH TOURNAMEXT. A SPLENDID START. 4 Under ideal conditions the bowling ,' tournament, which commenced yesterday •. on the New Plymouth West End ami ; j Fitzrov greens was greatly enjoyed by ' the piay'ers. The hot, dry weather of >! the lasc few days, and especially llui j fierce sunshine yesterday, made the I giecns very keen, and consequently play i uas not. by any moans irp to tournament ;; form, though there were some very j close games. Both tile leads and skips I wore, as a rule, somewhat erratic, and as I a consequence these were a number of j widely spread heads. On the other ! h;"']id, thcr; were occasionally exhibitions i of brilliant play, Hooper, in particular, i hading well consistently. The- earoi takers of the various greens deserve I gnat prai->.> for their work, any inferior play being due to the bowler and not to any fault in the green.
