Saturday was an ideal day for bowlers and the Port Club’s green was in splendid playing order. Wairere Club visited the Port with seven rinks and made an endeavour to lose the wooden spoon, but it was not to be, so while they lost on the day by 10 points they still have the honour of retaining the spoon to grace their pavilion. The most sensational game of the day was between Taylor and Newbigin, the latter at the tea adjourment being 18 to 4 on the board. From then on Taylor’s team settled down and the game ended 19 all.

Excellent weather prevailed for the week-end bowling, though a very tricky wind was blowing, which made it <ll f fict.’ "■ the finer shots of bowling. The
