HEAVY-WEIGHT BOWLS.
One of Britain's best-known bowlmakers, in writing to the Auckland bowl tester, Mr J. Jenkin, says: "I have not "been able to supply many bowls for New Zealand, as all the orders I get from there are for spe-cially-selected heavy wood, and the supply of that description is extremely limited. It is like having only one article for sale, and forty or fifty cus-
tomers wanting it. If I could get my customers in New Zealand to take I good ordinary weight I could dd a great deal more for them. Do you really think that the extra ounce, or at the most two ounces, in weight is of so very much importance ? Personally I do not; I think this fad for wanting this little extra weight is just a fad and nothing more. A bowl that runs steadily and truly of average weight is as perfect as anyone need desire." • "
