BOWLING.
■ •> _ To-morrow afternoon four rinks of bowlers from the Victoria Club will leave on a visit to Feildine and Wanganui, playing Feilding on 1-riday and Saturday, and Wanganui on Monday, returning to town on Tuesday night*. "Fair Play," who is evidently » bowler, wutes complaining that the result of a friendly match on Saturday between the Victoria and Thorndoil Clubs was not recorded in tho newspaper*, and he suggost-, th:it the omission wa« probably due to the laxity «if one of the secretaries.
