Mr Aitken (president of the Victorian Bowlers' Association) and Mr Doeg (also a Victorian bowler) were in Wellington on Saturday, and took part in the match Scotland v. the World at the Wellington Bowling Green on Saturday afternoon. Subsequently they played a pairs match with Messrs Maudsiey and Ballinger, and won it by 21 to 14. At Christchurch last week they won a pairs match by 21 to 9.

In the return match with the Thorndon Bow ling Club next Saturday the Wellington Bowling Club will be represented by a team entirely different from the one which played and won the last match. The former: players have been excluded, and a ballot has resulted in the selection of the following four rinks:—King, A. MacDougall, Buttle, J. Lockie (skip), D. McLean, Hill, G. P. Wilson, A. Campbell (skip),' J. Blundell, N. McLean, Muir, Russell (skip), Whitehouse, Reich, Lawson, Sample (skip). Sample's team is to be pitted, against McGlashan's, which now holds the Edwin Challenge Badges, so that the contest for those badges may form part of the inter-club match. If Sample's rink beats 'McGlashan's, the badges, having made the round of the three clubs, will be taken back to the Wellington Club. WELLINGTON BOWLING CLUB.
