Beprescutativca " from the' Auckland. IVuisnnby, Dc-vonport, Rocky '-. -••? Nook, i Botorua, Mount Albert, Cambridge, Thames, Karanga.hal;c, and Te Aroha Bowline- Clubs were introduced, by, Mr. r.ivit,-,. (president oi.tlin To Arolm Bowling Club). The principal ' speakers were Messrs. Carlaw (trer.snrrr ni die Anckl-.ind Bowling -JClub). Harrison (crer-n superintendent-, of the Devon- V; port Bowling Club), Coi'i-t (Thasn-s Bowling Club), Mcintosh (Ciuehunga), Ashtcn (Motu'.S Albert), ami Cutler (Rocky Noo!.-). They spoke very strongly on the extremely unsatisfactory slato of Cue green,' '■_>', stating that owing to its' faulty constrc.ction, want of proper and .'.ui'.icieue drainage, '[,•., Cue green -''.'J'l was unplayable for more than c. day after rain hail ' § fallen, while a properly-constructed grrrn should | be fit to play on about three hours after the rain ceased. The effect -of the bad state of the. green had very considerably, marred lie tournament owirijj to tin; delay, many- of the player*, not being able ito stay, thus upset ling the playing of other teams. %'■ One speaker stated" ihai unless the green was re- ■ f laid and drained bowlers would have to avoid Trt Aroha green. All the speakers agreed that it would be useless to tinker with if. and that nothing would r ;j do any good but to remove the inn-dressing, pub ~■•; in tile drains, and at least 12in of scoria; then a, '-"i')i good lop-dressing, and sow with propsr grass, not ; the clover mixture, as at present. Dr. Kenny, in : reply, admitted the bad stale of the green, which, he said, was not.Be fault of the Tourist, Department,, the green having been formed before his :i/v Department, took over the management. , He pro- '.- mised to report the matter and urge'"'.'..?; necessity :S ; ,'' of the green being properly re-formed, ami said no -..doubt; it, would, be thoroughly attended to -without delay.
