BOWING NOTES.

By “Wrong Bias.” The green of the Grcyinonih Bowling Club is now receiving its top dressing, under the supervision of Mr A. bairhall. The annual meeting of this club for the election of officers is expected to lake place next month. I hear that this club is likely to have a number of new members early next season. It is highly satisfactory to find that the two Bowling Associations of New Zealand are cordially co-operating to make the Exhibition Tournament at Christchurch next year a colonial event. Both bodies have approached the matter in a broad and liberal spirit, and while the New Zealand Bowling Association will control the tournament the Northern Association will bo consulted on all material points. It is to be Imped the Grcymontb Bowling Chib will affiliate with' either the North or South Island Association. It is to be hoped that the present intention of ihe Exhibition Tournament at Christchurch to play doubles and singles on the sudden death principle will be modified as far as Ibe boubles are. rollcorned. Seeing that that meeting is to extend over ten days, and that the experiment of playing doubles on the extended life system "answered so_ well at Dunedin this year in a five days’ tournament, it would be a very popular move 10'go back to the old system. Snvs the New Zealand Free Banco of last week MeKerrow was performing in great sivle at the Thorndon green 0:1 Salnrdav. Aided by Slater, Kane and Blanchard, lie ran up thirty while Tail. Yarrall (of Greymonth). Leighton and Bose were painfully scraping together 1). Mac inij*ht have relented and let them into double figures. Mr G. W. Moss, wfio is an enthusiastic bowler, is loud in Ids praises regarding the (trey ( lull's green. It is to be hoped Mr Mo’s will favour ns with a visit next year, when he may look forward to sonic good games.
