PRESENTATION. The re,coat bowl in? tournaments in the Park imposed the usual heavy task on the organisers of same, Messrs Vic. Scan draft and Jas. Nisbct. The record entries made tho task a iuttoji more arduous ene this year and

it is to their credit tli.it everything passed off without a hitch. ' Both .gentilelmen carry the utmost coiififideuce of the whole of the bowlers, land it becomes a pleasure for one and all to show their .acknowledgment in a tangible manner. Such recognition was shown on Monday (yesterday), when Messrs Scandrett and Nisbet were the recipients of'monetary gifts. Mr J. Munson made the presentations in a few appropriate remarks and Mr ■Jas. .Visbet replied on behalf of him- ■ elf and Mr Scanchelt, who was unavoidably a" vent.
