HAWKES BAY EARTHQUAKE A letter was read by the president from the Dominion of _ New Zealand Bowling Association, calling on bowlers throughout New Zealand to assist the howlers of Hawkes Ba.y to repair the earthquake damage to ihe greens in that centre. It was estimated that it will cost at least £4OO to repair the damage. In this case, a shilling’s worth of help is worth more than a ton of sympathy. One shilling each from all the' howlers in tlie Dominion would more than put the greens right again. No doubt this will he forthcoming. Secretaries of clubs will he pleased to accept and forward any sums offered.
