AN VN USUAL INCIDENT. An unusual incident ocurred at St. Hcliers in the bowling tournament.

As the kitty, lay with two rival ‘howls each only- inches away, it appeared to the contestants that Auckland would, cm the official measure, gain the verdict, but, as they stooped over, Auckland’s No. 3 dropped his pipe. It fell on the Re* muera’s howl and deflected it the merest fraction, giving that side the shot.
