BOWLING.

Ladies' Day on the Clyde green is to be held to-morrow afternoon, when everyone will be welcome. In an interesting an enjoyable match at Heriot, the home team defeated Millers Flat by one point 58-57- The ladies were represented by a rink each, and this ended in a draw -18 all. The Jolly Memorial The last match for the season for the Jolly Memorial was played at Clyde on Thursday last, when the holders (G. Larking, Dr Brokenshire, H. E. Stevens and J. L. Davidson) managed to retain possession of the covetedJtrophy. The challengers were a Roxburgh rink (W. Toms, J.Bennetts, T. Dunlay and T. Henderson) and they made a good attempt. As will be seen from the score board, which appears below, the holders held the advantage in the early stages, and until the 13th head when they led 12-5. At this stage the challengers lead came to light and mainly through his efforts Roxburgh had a run of success, winning the next five heads to lead by 13 to 12 on the 18th head. The holders then took a hand, and winning the last three heads finished up with a margin of 3.

ANNIVERSARY PAIRS. This annual competition was commenced on Monday, when at Clyde 12 pains (including 5 from Alexandra) took [nut. The morning was gloriously line, but unfortunately while the third round was in progress heavy rain, really something in the nature of a cloudburst, came on and in a very short time the green was like a lake—with full ditches and quite an inch of water on the playing surface. _ That finished play, of course A meeting of the executive was held, when it was decided to Hud the green winner by lotO'Uonnell and l'auliu were the lucky pair.

Jolly played his usual solid game, but his luck was not in, one or two trails just going against him, O'Connell and l'auliu, who led by i I to 1 on the Bth head, and by i'J to 12 at the finish, richly deserved their win.
