BOWLING.

CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT. SIX GREENS BUSY TO-DAY. KEEN PLAY ON IMPROVING GROUNDS. , The bowlers of Auckland made a commencement this morning with their an- i nual Christmas tournament, which is ; to conclude on New Year's Day. Heavy , rain during the early hours rendered the , . greens somewhat heavy, but as the day , wore on conditions greatly improved, , and keen games resulted. The touroa- . ment has been organised by the capable i secretary (Mr. Archie Bryden), which is . a sufficient guarantee that it will run ! • smoothly from beginning to end. ; The section play will extend over three days. Six greens arc occupied to- ; day as follows, the names of the umpires being given in parenthesis:— , Section A, Auckland (Mr. .1. L. Scott); section B. Ponsonby (Mr. .1. Stichhury); section C. Remuera (Mr. Alex. Rose); section D, Devonport (Mr D. Ballantytie) ; section E, Dominion Road (Mr L. E. Lambert) ; section F, Motint Eden (Mr \Y. Bigelow). THE PLAT. SUCTION A. First Round.
