BOWLING RANK
Some amusement was caused on a green in another centre when one of the players who had returned from a long visit to one of the islands not far from the Equator told how he was treated with much respect by the inhabitants whenever he went out. He was a big corpulent man, it was quite true, and of erect stature. That was not, however, the cause of the salutes he got; it was because he wore his bowling coat with its braid around the cuffs of the sleeves, on the top of the pocket, and around the whole of the edges of it. They thought he was a rajah or a magnate of some kind, and he was hardly ever allowed to walk, which was a fine thing for him when the weather was so hot.
