Christmas Bowling

The Christmas pairs tournament of the Dunedin Bowling Centre was begun yesterday in cold and showery weather. Shortly after play had started a heavy shower fell, and. at frequent intervals during the day further, showers interfered with the play, which did not cease on some greens until after 6.30. A south-west -wind also made things difficult. Only one round was played in the morning, a long interval being allowed to enable players to return to their homes for Christmas dinner. In the afternoon two rounds were played. Result*: — OTAGO GREEN. FIRST ROUND. J. Denholm and W. Denholm '(Meadowhank, Oamaru) 18, H. Grant and J. Dowland (St. Hilda) 10. G. Hely and H.
