BOWLING

EASTER TOURNAMENT Entries for the Easter bowling tournament have come up to expectations and it has been found necessary to use the Richmond green. There are ten rinks from Maitai Club, nine from Nelson, Karori 3, Greymouth 3, Victoria 3. Wellington 2, Takaka 2, Richmond 2, Wakefield 2, Seatoun, Hataitai, Greytown, Hutt, Kelburn, Canterbury, Hokitika Motueka and Mapua one each, a total of 46. , At the monthly meeting of the Nelson Club last evening it was decided that the finalists in the various sections be allowed to complete their matches on Saturday afternoon. As the greens will be closed immediately after Easter it is imperative that all finals be completed before the holidays. It has been decided to hold the annual meeting the third week in August instead of in June.

The balance of the gi'een will be available for other games. As the Club has been successful in winning all inter-club games for the season, viz., Leaper Shield, District Cup, Saunders Cup and the Kitchingman Cup (juniors) it is hoped there will be a good muster on Saturday as it is proposed to have a photograph taken of the trophies and members of the club.
