BOWLING NOTES.

By Toccheb. 1 During the past thre* weeks ie have been favored with very good fowling wtKlther, with the result that a good deal of plays l )as been indulged in. During tl)e last ten days a number of tho sealed handicap doubles have been played off, some of the games being veiy interesting, and some might be called sensational wins. The trophies for these games have been p&senttd by Mtssrs C. Smith and C. MacGitfton, vice-presidents. I will in my next notes pive full particulars of these gam^s. On Christmas Day the Christmas Doubles Handicap was got off, the games resulting as follows First Kourd. —B. Brcckie and W. Peterson beat Lock and Crowe; J. B. Paterson and Bust beat D. Dewar and I'erks; C. Smith and S. B. Paterson beat Craig and Biaikie; Martin and Dc Matthews beat D. Alexander and Broad. Second JKound.—lt. Brockie and W. Palerson heat J. B. Paterson and Bust; Martin and Dr Matthews teat C. Smith and S. B. I'alelfou. Final—R. Brockie and W. H. Paterson beat A. Martin and Dr Matthews. Chf.istm.vs After dinner Handicap., First Bound—T.

Paterson and J. Broad. Second Hound—T. Lock and J. Smith beat W. Craig and S. B. Paterson, C. Smith and W. Crowe beat D. Dewar and E. D. Bun. The win nets in the second round divided first and second prize money. The games, taking them all round, were, considoiing the high wind blowing, first class, soma real good play being shown. During the week Ave have been favored with a few visitors frotlfi-other clubs, notably, Mr Brown (hon. s<o. Du ledin Bowling Clut ) and Capt. !~ui dstn m [dchgnte for Northend Invercargill Club 011 the In.Z. Association and member of Kaituna Club, Dunedin). Already two rinks have been formed to compete in the N.Z. Association championships. Later on I will havo something to say to thf-se teams and will give them a few hints required, which they will find beneficial when away. Entries are now teing received for the champion singles. The conditions of games are new to most bowlers, but I think they will prove to be a great improvement on past cna-iipionships. is'ext week 1 will give a fuller account of what has happened lately on the local green. I extend to all bowlers my best wishes for a Happy iNew Year.
