BOWLING

KAITUNA'S BELGIAN NIGHT. The novel entertainment arranged by the Kaituna Club to raise, money for the Belgian relief fund was held last night, and proved a complete success. The weather favored them,, for though it was none too warm the green was well sheltered from the'strong N.Pk wind. The lighting was excellent, four lights of a total of 7,000 e.p. illuminating the pretty green quite sufficiently to allow of decent play. But, truth to tell, the play was of quite a secondary consideration. What the numerous spectators were interested in was the ensemble—tho quaint fancy dresses, many of them thought out to the minutest detail, and all showing signs of careful preparation. Then there was a really good musical programme provided. The Orphans' Orchestra were stationed on the balcony, and (lud by Mr H. Davie, with Mr J. Hnggitt at tho piano) they played many taking selections. Every few minutes songs or recitations wero given, and these were all of first-class quality. As a. beginning Mr C. H. Hughes (president of Kaituna Club) welcomed the visitors, expressing the wish that they would thoroughly enjoy themselves. Then tho bowlers sang (more or less in tune) the National Anthem and some of their own peculiar A march Toixncl, winding up with a haka, nest occurred, and play commenced. Those who contributed to the programme were:—-Miss E. Payne, Miss Hall, Mr G. Mearns, Mr L. Anderson, and Mr M'Lcod. As before remarked, the fancy dresses wero striking, and a few of them may be picked out for mention. There were excellent representations of the Mikado, a cowboy, a jockey, a high dignitary of the Anglican Church, a- policeman, Mephistophcles, a Fijian chief. Folly. Eccles (in ' Caste'), King Claudius. King Lauronta (in ' Mascotte'j, General French. Sarah Pankhurst, Sultan of Turkey, Harry Lauder, a coster, etc. Tlie peculiar antics of these varied characters while trying to draw the shot wero exceedingly comical. Mnny lady supporters, With Mrs J. H. Walker at their head, were on hand to look after the material comforts of patrons, and the whole function proved a happy idea with a profitable result. It is expected that somewhere in the neighborhood of £25 will be the prr>sfc accrnii;-.;. which i* not bad. The committee (small but efficient) who ran the show wero Messrs Langdon Clark, 7?aiph Johnstone, and A. J. Cooper. It was a decided success. H OLI\ rE S FEATH ER S. Yesterday evening Mornington and !)unedin met in competition for the Holmes Feathers. The game was keenly contested throughout, and, although Mornington wont riff witii a slight lend, the holders gradually reduced tho overdraft. With one head (£> go the Buneriin representatives wore 1 up. Mornington thus requiring to scorn 2 points before thev were entitled to the Feathers. On the next head Mora-
