BOWLS

| THE PENNANT PINAL. "'V, | For some, reason the final of the Pennant competition between Victoria and Newtown was not played on Saturday afternoorij though the conditions were perfect—a bright, . clear, sunny .day, such as we aro not now likely to get many of. It is immaterial as to which club is to blame for the -delay, but many bowlers in Wellington are of opinion that the .local centre should demonstrate that it is the controlling" authority, and that it should' not be left for any single- club, to say they cannot fulfil their obligation. If, tiie.y say, suoh excuses are to he made for not playing a game on the date fixed by. the centre, the match should be forfeited, as in the case of a football or cricket match. / PLAY AT LOWER HUTT. At.the Lower Hutfc bowling green, Roche and Yates scored 19.in the semifinal for th© Club Pairs, arid Gemmell and Duthie 18. In the final, Eoclio and Yates secured 19, and Dunstall and Macnskill 20. .■ — . \ FEILDING, V.
