EASTER TOURNAMENT. ] The Dunedin Centre's Easter Tournament ! ■was opened yesterday on three greens— Dunedin, Caledonian, and Roslyn. The weather -was splendid. The entries this year are not .so numerous as in former years, caused: through many players being at the front and through a lessened interest in the pastime in the faoo of tho ravages of tho war, ■which are felt in all quarters of tho globe. The order of play wae that observed in previous tournaments. All contestants took part in a qualifying round, ■winners passing into the Provincial Rinks and losers into the City Rinks. AU the profits of tho tournament will be devoted to the patriotio funds. Play was commenced on the Dunedin Green pretty promptly, and the qualifying round was decided in good time. The green was running a trifle heavy in the earlier part of the morning, but as the day advanced it became keener. Generally speaking, the play was good, and most of the contests were close, but there were a few easy wine. Mr J. R. Glover was green umpire, but was not called upon to exorcise his functions beyond a slight degree. The Roslyn Green was in perfect order, and the play, taken all through, was very good. As some of the players were late in starting it was dark before their games were .finished. The duties of tho umpire (Mr. W. Nieolson) were very light, all the games being contested in tlie best spirit Tho Caledonian Green was in splendid condition. The majority of the games were keenly contested, and some excellent play was witnessed. The duties of umpire were discharged satisfactorily by, Mr Abbott.

OAMARU TOURNAMENT. (Fbom Oub Own Correspondent.) OAMARU, April 21. i The annual bowling tournament was opened in perfect weather this morning, when tho rink matches were taken. Altogether 32 rinks were entered, and were representative of clubs all the way from Christahurch to Invercargill. The competitors were divided into two sections, one playing on the Meadowbank Green and the other on tho Phosnix old green. Both were in capital condition, and played very true, and this notwithstanding tne fact that during the night some malicious person had eat a number of holes in both the Phoenix Greens. Fortunately the depredation wae discovered in time to effect repairs, and

in such a way that f.ho play vtw not affected. By tlio titno play ecased a.ll tho rink matonc3 had b«.'On brought to a stage making it possible to rcach fcho finals on Monday afternoon. To-morrow will bo devoted to tho matches for pairs, of which 64 are entered. To-day's games were of a most pleasant nature, and, though there were a few runs-awny, tho contests were generally keen.
