DOMINION BOWLING TOURNAMENT

Tlte first- day’s play passed off success-! fully up to a certain- point. Though a slight drizzle was noticed now and then, there was never any likelihood of a stoppage of play on that account. There was an entire absence of wind, and this enabled a nicely-drawn shot to reach its destination without interruption. The greens without exception were in capital order, and the refreshment arrangements V worked excellently, Mr Kroon, the caterer, " his work well. The one fly in the ointment was the absence of a time limit. Layers were allowed to take as long as they pleased oyer a game. This privilege Was abused, and the consequence was that, with only four Pairs games to play, and sf,? t,n e a.m., several greens were •till occupied at 8.30 p.m., and even then Mme games were unfinished. This palpably absurd position is to be altered. ' remainder of the competition P time limit of 2J,- horn’s is to be imposed—a liberal enough allowance. The Icnn shown yesterday was on a par with toost gatherings of the kind—some firststoss, some so-so. The pairs "who won Ml their four games were:—St. Kilda; and Robson (Otago).
