BOWLING.

Yesterday afternoon ideal conditions prevailed for the game, and a very pleasant afternoon was spent on the local green. Two matches were played, one for the Nye Ferns, and one for the Haydock Pins, in addition to a “friendly” rinks game. NYE FERNS MATCH. A challenging rink skipped by Trueman tried conclusions with Hinds’ rink for the Nye Ferns, and a good battle ensued, the challengers making a good showing in the first part of the game, but later were overhauled, to be finally beaten by a margin of eight points. The rinks and scores were:—

Holders: Chalk, Perreau, Newth, Hinds (s) 21; challengers: Titcombo, Kenney, Christie, Trueman (s) 13. In this game Perreau and Newth substituted for Eruera and Robinson. It was pleasant- to see a new member —Mr Titcombe taking part in such a match early in the season.

HAYDGGK PINS

The second game of the season for the Haydobk Pins was played between the holders, Eruera and Robinson (s) and G. Walls and G. Scadden (s). The game was closely contested for the most part, but at about- the 15th head Eruera and Robinson counted a “sixer,” which gave, them a good advantage, which they improved to run out winners by a margin of 11 points, the final figures being 24—13. 'The next challenge in order is J. Francis and R. Heppner (s).
