A SURPRISE FOR BOWLERS.

Pa-ivate Oliver Fruish, who will 1 o remembered as one of the Feilding Bowling Club's crack players, had n rare experience whilst, his contingent of reinforcements was at Oapclo vn. He visited the Capetown green, and, of course, was asked to have a game. 'Would he skip? Well, he didn't mind giving it a go! He struck form with his first bowl—and his rink won its game. He was the first Australasian soldier to play on the green, and the bowlers not only gave him a smoke concert to mark the occasion, but also presented him with the club's gold badge—the first overseas bowler to bo so honoured. Prvte. Fruish went into hospital just before his ship reached England, and at the lime of writing was expecting to undergo an operation in a London hospital.
