PROSPECTS OF CANTERBURY RINKS. (.THE PRESS Special Service.] j DL'NEDIX, January -0. When (he tournament commenced this morning the weather conditions were anything but ideal, a strong nur'-west wind blowwhich developed into a half gale. This was very troublesome on the Jlill greens, ; and at North £ast Valley it \w»s severely leK. and made bowling very hard indeed. ' About half-way through the firs! game a slight drizzle made things more awkward J still, but nevertheless the fifth round was \ completed. Some rather extraordinary scores were registered. even against first-class players, and naturally quite a number of surpr.ses took place. The sixth round was commenced under much more pleasant conditions, but after about eight heads had been played heavy rain set in, and in about an hour's time the irreens were flooded, which made further play impossible for the day. ( The Council has now decided to play off ] the two incompleted games in the morning:, and in the afternoon two games of 21 heads each will be played, which will still allow the orifi'innl nrnicrftimnp tn ht» aHhiirprt In

In Section A. C'raw scored Irs first win. while Williams, who had two wins to his credit, went down in his game. Marks also suffered a reverse, and lie now stands with two wins and two losses in Section B, and Hargreaves had another loss recorded against him. Piper, in C Section, scored his first win, and Chambers had another defeat. Kaeh has hid one win and three losses. In D Section. Kfford had another loss recorded against him, and his record reads two nnd two. E Section, which is certainly one of the strongest and where the games are hardest, produced another su-'nrise or two. and Ainser had another loss. Along with Haig. he has ori : V one rame to h : s credit. ' Fox in the sole Canterbury representative in K Section. and he went down by one point to Gordon. lie lias scored only one game. In Section Tves won his first game this morning, which gives him two wins and two losses, while Rnrson had another loss reeorded against him. F. Good, who was playing in Burson's rink, was suddenly called away on account of illness in his family, and Thorne. from Gore, was found as a suhst:»ote for him. Watson is sti'l going strong in S'ction H. and has four wins to his credit. IT'S team are playiii" wonderful howls, and there i s every nossibility of his heing a section winner. His rink is the only Canterbury rink which has not had a loss recorded against it. Morgan had another loss hi Section T, and ■s now the only rink in his section w:th foc« losses. The weather i.s now cb'nr. and th" pi-n«-ltects are good for a fine day. which ltowlers will much appreciate. CANADIANS' VISIT TO CHRISTCHURCH.
