Marlow (Dunedin), in .proposing the .toast of “ Tho ChMStdhurdh Centre,” said be was for many years associated with that centre. It had been elated that evening that the Month Island hold 50 per cent, more bowlers than tho South Island, and the suggestion was made that the North Island was on,titled to greater representation for that reason. Personally, lie would not mind if the North Malncl had the whole of the .representation if it put forward the same cikins of .ropreKmAWives ns it had done in the past, for they were man who had tie interests of bowling thoroujghly at heart. But ho would .point out that dubs with twenty-five members had too ewno .representation on the centres as clubs with four times as many members, and it always worked satisfactorily. He paid a. tribute to toe manner in which tho .tournament was being conduefted, and. remarked that it mould long be remembered as one of the happiest and .most efficiently-conducted gatherings that had been hold.
