BOWLING.

The cables show Hint the New Zealand learn have had one win and one defeat this week, having been baatuii !iy Queen's Park, Glasgow, by 25 points, and winning fijftiinst Pollocks-haws by 10 points. The Australians have had several defeats. In a pruaentßtion at Gisborne recently, from clubs siliHated to the Northern Bowling Association, of which he has baen secretary for fiva yen!-':. Mr. Mcnti- / lay said lie frust.'d he would see a number of Gisborne bowlers in Wellington next year, where they expected to have a very large tournament—in faot, lift thought it would bo the largest tournament ever held in New Zoabnd. From what he could Rather, 25 or 26 clubs would be represented there. A number of Southern clubs were pending _ representatives, and they would have the North and South Island match. There would bo double and dingle entries, which would be played concurrently with (ho club matches Tiioso not participating in the inierolub matches would have an j opportunity of playing where there was ! available green space. J So thought they '' could, with Wellingtons (He " bowling ' Urceim, accommodate nil the bowlers who came, there. All the gi-ooi.s were in fair condition, and he did not think there would : lie any complaints so far as the greens were i concerned. ' i A Sydney wtilei, referring; to (he Australasian tMm, say*:- ''The trouble with New ■ /.calenders is not ipiil.c settled yet, 1); it is to be sineoroiv lifted lint no friction will arise anion;; the team. The New Zoaiftodfirs. I.i srems, have re.fused so far to contribute low ..ids (lie expense,., mid henee the row; and another thing that will kindle the tiro of discontent is what we have al- . ready spoken of several times, and that is ! tlio fact of the New Zealanders wanting to j be represented by at least two rinks out ; of four in eaeh international test. We do not agree with the Maorilnnders in ilia" I retp.iost at all. They are good player.-, the i best of the crowd, but that is no reason ' why they (should demand anything of the sort. _ Let the Selection Committee fix up the rinks, and they will see that the proner : men are jjivrn a place. We don't want New Zealand links or New South Wales rinks : or any other rinks, but we want Australa- . fish rink?. The team is representing Australasia, and we hope to see the best men *P.-'"-'te'l, so flint the (earn will come buck wit!) hying colours. ' The An.-Lrs.lif.il*: probably wished to have lie team? piek-d by a committee of the i whole team, uirb a view to giving every \ member something to do, and a share of I .lie honour of represent bur Australasia. The I New Zfid.indei-:, more keen on the results j -■' the international crnles,* than on the \ tmusemenls ol the nn mbers, declined to : '-reo to this, and. further, refused to eon- j 'ribiilo to the salary of Mr. Cuddon, who I lad been appointed manager of the Vic- ! orian section.

This vrus on the Sydenham Green, on the occasion of (be club'a opening for the season. Mr. Onddon, who skipped one of the rink- of the proficient's team, tx- | press**! himself very well satisfied with the I green, a ground more resembling the VieI tcrian greens than any !m has seen. At I present Mr. Cuddon is very actively en- } gaged in receiving correspondence and *>•.-- i ranging the tour, in which direction he is receiving a3sisti.no© from Mr. S. K.
