EASTERN SUBURBS TOURNAMENT ANOTHER PERFECT DAY

For mid-April the weather for the holidays has so far been beautiful, and no section of the community has appreciated it more than the bowlers concerned in the Eastern Suburbs rink tournament in progress on the Hataitai, Lyall Bay, ' and Seatoun Clubs greens. On Saturday the sun shone gloriously throughout the day, and there was no wind. The sixth round was completed at 5.30 p.ra.

Section A.

The umpire (Mr. C. Bary) reported to tho secretary of the tournament that one member of a team had dropped out, after the fourth round. The matter will be considered by the Tournament Committee, who will probably report the matter to the centre, as the only excuse the player gave for his action was that he was “disgusted.”
