BOWLING.

THAMES TOURNAMENT. Mr. D. C. Fraser, Mount Eden, writes:~ In the report of the Thames tournament, in Friday's Herald, the Mount Eden team is credited with having lost all their games on the last day. This is incorrtect, and unfair to us, as we lost our first game only, to Remuern. Our ne; game, against Johnston (Thames), we won by 27 to 11. while the ninth game, against Robinson (Hikutaia), whs not r-layed, as wo had to leave by the steamer that afternoon, yet this game is shown as having been plaved and lost by us. I notice, also, that Gosling's (Epsom) t.o.fi.m is shown as having "lost their last game. This, also, is incorrect, as they did not have time to play that game. THE AWAROA CLUB. The official opening of the Awaroa howling green. Helensville, took place on Saturday afternoon. The president, Mr. P. Sandin, welcomed the visiting bowlers and friends. Mrs. C. Snndin throw the first jack. Teams were drawn for a match, President's v. Vice-president's, with the .following results, the president's scores taking precedence: A. B Card. A. J. Hill. 24. v. W.

The surroundings are still in a somewhat rough state, but during next planting season great improvements will be made.
