CHAMPION PAIRS.

YESTERDAY'S MATCHES. END OF SECTION PIAy. FORMER WINNERS BEATEN. Th. it in-11 niits three rounds of section play i:t ;'i«* pairs tournamcut of llie A'i l * ■ ; ■ l>o\\ ( cnlie we!i 1 piayed vo>l'i •: ■■ ; weather, but ali "the gt•••-'Icdlx heavy for tlie niornins •«» •» I emit «>t the soaking lain vi.i. 'i --mated postponing these I i til- pu vKws day. A natural re.-u-r » » has always been noticed on li.m\> Ulceus was the shorter time the nu»t -:atues H'<;niied. both rounds in some being finished in ten minutes under : > nours. whereas the time always othri.i'ij- allowed is two hours and a qiait'i. and when the time limit is enK: i • d a goml many games are not even nuis-ht-d w':ien the bell rings. Ti..' xjiected happened in regard to the number to qualify tor post-section pla\. no less than eight of the thirteen sections being won outright, and in the case I'i the five sections tiad there were only two in each, whereas the usual expeneme is for the majority to be tied with two. anil a few with three. Only two pairs, Dent and Griffiths iPonsonby) and Kelly and Barber (Balmoral) got. tliroiigli the two days unbeaten. The detailed results hereunder will be a snip: i-e to those who may have expected some •>! the former winners to qualify, even if they did not wiu again, but the eighteen do not include a single pair who have ever won before. The nearest to this is Parsons (Ponsonby), who has won the event twice, and has qualified to continue to-day, but with a different lead, and Fookes (Carlton) wag runner-up last year, with a different lead. However. Auckland is so strong in first-class bowlers that there is always seen an influx of fresh faces when the fortunate winners in a large tournament assemble for postsection play.
