BOWLING TOURNAMENT.

' Ily Tclejiratili, Duntdir., Jan. 2d. The bowling tournament was resumed today, This morning the fifth ami sixth rounds of the rinks were playedofi at the different greens, which were alfm, fairly good condition when the games began, hut the rain which came on later interfered materially with Hie" play ; in tact, it was stated by some that it was almost impossible to gauge the green. Speaking generally"all: tho players starts carefully, and. in .several cases seemed to over stcn the mark in this respect. Atßoslyn green there were patches for about 15ft at both cwh practica.ly bare of grass, and in maty cases players had to take 15ft or 16ft of green to get a draw'. At Ibis green the greatest interest in, tne fifth round centered in tho niatch-between Payne (Kaituna) anh Prince.(Newtown). The members ■ .cl each rink piayed a particularly steady game, although Kaituna got away with a lead the Ncwtowa men worked gamely, and eventually overhauled their opponents in the last couple 01, eni'ls. There was some brilliant play oi the skips. It might be said that, while Payne resortcd'to driving., Prince, exepting'ina few instances, played his usual faultless drawing game. After a particularly keen contest Prince scored a well deserved win. At Kaituna, Hain of the North End,' who hasten play to?' al'articiiiaVly brjlliaht game all through the tournament, met KcasM the '.'alcdonian. and beat him fairly after Ik tenth head ' 'ty 17 to 11. In t-te game against Waddell (Oamaiu) 6. B.Dall's team could not set going, and the Phoenix quartette,, taking advantage of the opportunity put up a,, bfg score. In the sixth round, however," Dall's team,: struck form at the outset, the : result being that thp Invercargillites with Lcggclt at the he|ni, dill not get'a look in, Attalf gsmeNoyrie Bell (Wellington) had put «p 10 to M'Laren's 2. By the twelfth head, however, the latter managed to make the scores even. From this on the game virtually resolved in'self 'intoa game between the 'two skip*, 'who Were scoring alternately, the Dune-.dinitp-'lasting longer Bell had to submit tu a dtifoat 1/p 2 points in hin sixth round, ■' M'Lnrcn '(Duneilin) was pitted against S. Manning (Christclmrch); Each of' the Dun'edin team "ourplayed )|is op-' pon?nt, ami'-' from the fifth head the result was. looked upon as almost a conclusion. In the seventh round of the rinks Grcpiplsland went %yny with a strong lead .from North End (InVercargill), the score nt the fitli head being 7to 1 in favor'of the 'former, In the next two. ends North .-End.scored five, bringing them within ons. :hf the leaders..Tho-'noxt, five heads were all .in favor p[ Green Island, who increased .their score to 18.; In the last head North End scored "seven; ;lflt- Green Isliiritl wori.by 20 t014. ; ; ', -; In the semi-final of the rinks' Grcon Is ; land (Ikl'DbnaW) ■. met Kaltangata'• (H s'lop);': With seven heads played >Kaitanga : .ta; held.; a strong .leadf haying, ; scored : ll; noints to thcir ; opponents' four.
