The entries for the Wanganui Bowling Centre’s Easter tournament totalled 43. Uf this number 32 were from clubs in the centre eleven entries being received from outside clubs. The Manawatu Centre s Easter tournament had ti total ot 4o entries, 26 from clubs within the centre and 22 from outside. In view of the face that the Wanganui centre holds a large tournament at Christmas it seems n great pity that it should enter into competition with Manawatu at Easter and this seems to be a matter which should be regulated by the Dominion Council. The M-uawatu .Centre to-day is able vo accommodate 80 rinks in Palmerston and next season will have provision for 96.
