BOWLING.

THE NEW ORF.EN OF THE CAN-

TERBURY CLUB

To be able to bowl in winter time is rather a new experience in Canterbury, but, thanks to \he excellent work done in connection with the new green of the Canterbury Bowling Cub in Durham street, this was pcmnblo on Saturday afternoon. A number of the members of the c!ub assembled and had an informal game, the green playing nearly as well as if it had been established for many months of only a few weeks. Two greens have been formed on the flection whicn ?e about three-quarters of an acre in extent. The eld pavilion hnis been removed from Caehel street, an,d has been placed on the southern side. The pavilion accommodation has b?en made very comp'cte indeed. All the ft«rronndlnps are infinitely superior to t-hosc of the old preen, aid tVe d : stance from the centre of ihe city is no more, if ar< much, a>> that of the old quarters of tho club. When everything ie complete, accommodation will be provided for 800 or 9f!o With the United, the Cliristchiirch, and Canterbun* greens, <i tournament on the lanjwt scale ever attempted -in the colony would be able to be ca;iJy and effectively carrietl out. During the afternoon rink cames were played, with the following results:—
