EASTER BOWLING TOURNEY PLAY IN ■SOUTH TARANAKI. ■SEMI-FINALS COMMENCED. Light showers fell in Hawera yesterday morning and prospects for the third day’s programme of the South Taranaki bowling tournament, which i a being held on the Hawera and Park clubs’ greens, appeared anything but bright. Nevertheless by ten o’clock the rain had ceased and the tourney was continued, good progress being made, thanks to the capable organisation and good work of the officials and the tournament secretary, Mr. J. Champion, By three o’clock . sectional play was completed and th© bowlers from the Hawera given adjourned io the Park green, where the semi-finals were commenced. The less fortunate bowlers who were eliminated in the sectional play lined the bank’s and were interested spectators of the matches, and the first life of the semi-finals was completed in light rain at intervals with frequent gusts of wind rendering conditions somewhat unpleasant. Weather permitting, the semi-finals will be continued on the Park green tfhas morning. The rinks which qualified for postsectional play, by winning at least six out of the eight matches played were as follow: .

GENERAL. The annual Rugby football match between Hawera and Aramoho third grade team’s for the Bartlett Cup resulted in a win for Hawera by 22 points to nil in Hawera on Saturday.

The time was about 2 a.m., and his lorry was ablaze on the roadside near Hawera. The driver knocked at the door of a farmhouse to ask permission to use the ’phone to solicit assistance from the fire brigade. After the visitor had made several fruitless attempts to rouse anyone, a sleepy voice inquired: *W!ho’s there I” The. driver explained the position. “Is the lorry insured?” asked the sleepy one from his bed. “Yes,” said the motorist. “That’s all right,” came the reply, “this' is the only house on tiie road that is not connected with the telephone.”
