WELLINGTON CENTRE TOURNAMENT

IN BRIGHT AND BREEZY

WEATHER

CITY GREENS IN FULL

SWING

Although the weather on Christmas night was anything but promising for bowls, Saturday’ dawned beautifully fine ami throughout the day the sun shone brightly and a fresh breeze helped to dry up the greens, which! had a good soaking the night before. In opening the tournament at the Wellington Bowling Club the president of the centre (ifr. S. Stone) said that it was his pleasing duty, for the first time, to open the Wellington Centre’s Christmas tournament, and he was glad that the weather was fine, and he hoped it would continue for the next three or four days. He was sure that bowlers would fi dnthe greens to their liking, especially those clubs who were fortunate enough to win. Those skips who lost would be sure to hold their leads, No. 2’s, or No. 3’s responsible. (Laughter.) He wished everyone concerned the compliments of the season, and hoped that the best team would win. He had much pleasure in declaring the tournament open.
