The weather was gloriously fine, but windy, ,■* for the third day's play at the bowling tour- '". t nament, and some exciting games were wit-' - ' ncssed, but the quality of tho. play was not v as good as has been seen at previous gather- -"« ings. Auckland had an easy win over Waverley Towsey playing a. fine drawing ? game, -whilst -J McCallum did good execution as number three. ' ' .n tho match against Masterton. who, with - Victoria, are leading for the banner, the Northerners were beaten 'in both rinks. ■ Culpan made a good stand, but Towsey went down rather badly. A magnificent game resulted • a hetwisen Remuera and Auckland, and tho issua remained in doubt until the last head, when- . Laxon's team got in several fine shots, whichi ■)'■'■-. & caused his side to secure the victory. Towseyj was in good form against Remuera, hut Cul«!!K]i pan was not seen at his best. '•~: : :-;-.P:A$::A New market went through the day without Kyi'§ a loss, and are., third for tho banner, If, ,' they continue in the winning ! vein "they must have a great ; chance, for both Palmerston North and Victoria, who are one game ahead,fifSfl must sooner or later have a fall. i Remuera and Auckland have each had five losses, and Mount Eden has had four. - Pon- , sonby have; so far ■ made a very \ poor show,! having only one victory to their credit. -1 $• In the match, Hastings v. New Plymouth,! ; when a victory for the ; former. l seemed a?snred. New Plymouth got the maximum. num-j ) ber of points, eight, and won the, match by. - 1 four points. ■ ■ - . '- . ; Gisborne. after defeating Newmarket, Auckland, Wellington, ; and ■ Napier, were beaten by Victoria, Waverley, Feilding, and Thorn- • > don.
