BOWLING NOTES.

TUAPEKA v. QUEENSTOWN. Two rinks oompo»sed of members of the Tuapeka Bowling Club arrived in Queens town on New; Year's Day and played a match with representatives of the Wakatipu Bowling Club on the 2nd January. Thu match ended in favour of the visitors by a margin of four points. In the first half of the srame one of the local rinks skipped by Lynch was considerably down, whilst the other was well up, but not sufficient to compensate for the difference. In the last few heads Lynch's rink pulled up somewhat, but Darton (Lawrence) reduced some of the difference between his and Warren's rink, and this mainly contributed to the visitors' win. The games were playea in the spirit characteristic of the pastime. _ The green was somewhat tricky at times and baffled the efforts of some of the players to sruage it accurately. The president of the Cluo, Mr V. Paine, ve-y kindly provided ample and most acceptable refreshments in the pavillion, for which the visitors, as well a.s local bowlers felt truly grateful. At the conclusion of the match, the usual courtesies were exchanged by the presidents on oehalf of their respecCluhs. The following are the scores:— L- QG. Talbovs, H. H. Leary, A. Arthur; W. L. Darton (5)... 18 - A Bovne, A. H. Crawshaw, W. Will cox, W. D. Warren (5)... D. Lockliart, A. Mellor, D. L. Christie, J. McAra (s) • 25 M. J. Gavin, V. Paine, T. J. Kelly, L. J. Lynch (s) ... 43 39
