PAHIATUA.

The local bowling green is in beautiful condition, and was" never seen to better advantage. Yesterday afternoon a good game was witnessed between Messrs J. Hughes, 0. Johnson, and Rev. W. H. Speer (skip), and Messrs J. Bissett, Wliyte-Scott, and J. A. Walsh (skip). The latter team, although their opponents scored seven in the second head, won easily at the finish,, the final scores being 21—12. A feature of the game was the remarkably good play of the two "colts," Messrs Bissett and Whyte-Scott, who only made their debut this season, and who give promise of developing into veritable top-notchers. The secretary of the local bowlingclub, Mr J. Hughes, has sent a challenge to the holders of the Wishart "Feathers," a Palmerston North team, on behalf of the following quartette:—Messrs Hawkins, Speer, Lilly and Walsh. The game will probably take place at Palmerston North on AVednesday next. A large number of Woodville bowlers are meeting hero 'to-morrow, for the formal opening of the season. Mr T. P.
