Th« final match in the rink tournament was keenly con tested. The Canterbury team played well, and certainly had the best of the luck. The Christchurch men, on the other hand, played in and out, the reteran Struthers being the only one consistent. They played a plucky losing game, and cren at the 18th end a streak of kick would have put them in it. Three riuks of Victorian bowler* played three from Roalyn, Roolyn winning by 74 to 42.
