Tho team of Now Zealand bowlers •sngaged on throe matches this week, w"_ first being over the ground of tlio Hove Bowling Club, admittedly somewhat of a "graveyard" to colonial wnrlers. Horo they met with a fate similar to that which befell tho Australian and New Zealand team in 1901, "md the Canadian players in 1900. On Wedno.clay tho Now Zcalamlers cii- , Suged tho Urownswood Club, and mot probabiy the strongest team likely to * bo brought against them on this side £"* tho Border—although defeated by # points, they put up an exceedingly flood game. Th. Home side played long ends, which tho visitors did not . • appear to appreciate. In their next • «18. getiient, on the Bounds Green ftinks, the tenni put up an exceedingWgly Cue game. The ground played Keen and true, and afforded the colonists a decidedly better opportunity '• oi shoeing tho "drawing gnmo. Mr -"'Barnctt gave a particularly brilliant oxhibition, and won by 7 points on his • rink, but Mr Prince was down by 3 , JflOta.
