The outlook for bowling when Saturday came in was not anything lor ithe weather gods ito vaunt rtbout, but bowlers are not a race at men to be easily discouraged, ami wdxcn ttibc clouds promised tfco diet a bit as the morning progressed, ifche caretakers on most at tfihe greens made the usual preparations, ■with the addition that Is now to l>e frequently eeen of heasian coverings—a very saving precaution.

GREY LYNN GREEN. GBET UINN "AT HOME." The Grej- Ijynu Bowling Club's trim and well-kept green was a place of festivity on Saturday, the president (Mr J. M. Thomson) and his lady being "At Home" to a large number of bowlets and lady friends. .The pavilion was appropriately decked and festooned In the club's colours, and the green, although almost under water In the morning, played splendidly, for which mnch credit was due to the energetic superintendent (Mr G. Balldon). In extending welcome to the visitors, the president referred to the excellent muster, considering the inclemency of the weather, and thanked the large number of ladles who graced the green tor having brayed the elements. It had been anticipated that several new rinks would have been onened for play during the afternoon, and the ladles" had also looked forward to the beginning of play on the new croquet lawn, but otring to the unfavourable state of the weather a more auspicious occasion would hare to be sought lor thut Interesting event. The unpleasant weather prospects had also Interfered with the arrangements made by the ladles for the entertainment of their guests, but he hoped everyone would spend a pleasant afternoon notwithstanding, and come along another day to particulate In the opening festivities In connection with the additional rinks and the new croquet lawn. (Applause.) Hearty cheers were given for the president and Mrs Thomson by the assembled bowlers, and the nine rinks engaged in the match President's v. Vicepresidents' took them to their various sections.
