Ghiyers, -New Brighton, a member oi: tho New Zealand bowling le;im who returned from the championships afr Queensland yesterday. Mr. Chivors said thai; nothing definite was arrived at in regard to Australian bowlers making the trip, iind it was possible that the games which were to be held to commemorate the opening of tlio Sydney Harbour Bridge might affect the possibility of bowlers coming (across. It was also possible that New (Zealand bowlers would be represented at the games, which will probably b& I held about Easter. The tournament was ' being arranged by the New South Wales I Bowling Association. Mr. Chivcrs considered that the performance of the New, Zealand bowlers it Queensland was quite satisfactory. Mr. A.
