Wells and Kershaw, the selector cannot go far wrong. ' . The Kelburn Club has talent equal to Hataitai, but does not use It to the same advantage. Its inclination is to give everyone a chance, and m a sporting spirit is putting m two more rinks than Hataitai. . Kelburn is the home of such widely,-; known players as Jack Lowry, Tom Gray and Doherty. , : Others equally as good, but not so, wellknown, are Teddy Lomas _ and Basil Marris, together with a whole 'club-ful of players who are abe to find the jack on their own mountain home, while it takes visitors all their time to stick to terra fir ma.
