Bowling Notes

By Wrong Bias.

It would -appear that the Victoria Club is fated to hold the Edwin Feathers for no longer than a week. Price, with his Palmerston team, succeeded in annexing these trophies last Saturday. He had to stretch his rink to the utmost, Hueston's quartette being only two points behind at the finish. —21-19. New tow n meet Petone next Saturday in the last game of the season for the Feathers. » ♦ • The competition for the John Smith Badges was inaugurated on Saturday, two Antipodean, nnks meeting. Bell, however, proved too strong for Clark, and has the honour of meeting the Britannia Lodge next Saturday. — 29-19. The assurance of little men is proverbial. Billy "Mack skipped tihe Lancashire team to disaster on Saturday. Fancy Lancashire challenging all-com-ers, and then, to be taken down, by a junior skip. Mayer simply walked all over Mack. — 32-16. Lancashire were unable to wear their clogs, tihe ground being too soft, hence the result. The Townsend Buckles were a gift to Dixon and Mackay, who beat the holders, Norwood and Scott. — 21-16. An old Wellington bowler, in the person of Mr. Andrew Campbell, is t>aymg a visit to New Zealand. Of course, he has been on his old green (Wellington^ and I am told that a larger mat was procured for his use. Both feet on the mat on the "other .side." The Wellington colts playing against Newtown, just scraped home by one

pomt — Osborne 13, Roberts 14. The other New town rmk, however, romped over Wellington — Campbell 2b, Thompson 19. McKerrow struck oil on Saturday, Longton lowering his colours to the veteran — 37-15. Much driving, I wonder? Ross met Rose." Only a difference in one letter, but what aibout the score — 21-14. We are getting on. Blanchard skipped against Burns, and pulled it off, t00.— 19-16. Bowling is spreading. I understand a club is to be formed at Karori, while the Hutt Club is an accomplished fact.
