There was a comparatively small number of bowlers at the Wellington Bowling Club’s green on Saturday last, owing to counter attractions, and also to the faot that four rinks are away at the New .Plymouth Tournament. The weather was simply perfection, and the games were muoh enjoyed. Following are the scores : —No. 1 Rink— Messrs Jones, Edwin, Gray, W. J. Riley, (skip), 21 ; Messrs Shortt, Hart, Wilson, Leatham (skip), 18. No. 2 Rink—Messrs Wil eston, RichardsoD, Mitchell, K. Wilson (skip), 21 ; Messrs Brown, Riley, Hoicroft, Lambert (skip), 11. No. 3 Rink— Messrs Myers, McGregor, Ewart (skip), 21 : Messrs Cooper, Lawson, Young (skip), 16. The green will be open for play the whole of to-day, aud it is desired that as many games as possible in the Prize Competitions should be played off. .

At a c-mmittee meeting of the Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club, held on Tuesday, it was decided to present the prizes won at the last sports meeting at a conversazione to be held towards the end of April.
