QUEENSLAND BOWLERS

SATURDAY AT DUNEDIN GREEN. Hie Queensland bowlers have been favoured with line summer weather for the greater part of their stay in Dunedin, and, should carry away with then! when they depart pleasant memories of the southern end of the dominion. Bowlers are nothing i* not hospitable, and the city clubs laid themselves out to give their visitors a good time. The Queenslanders, on their side, are all good sports, and of course out. to enjoy the tour,’ which will without doubt establish a permanent bond of friendly interest between tho bowlers of tho dominion and their friends from the other side. The visitors were shown round the city on Saturday forenoon by the Dunedin Centre, which had arranged with the Tramway Department for a special observation car. In tho afternoon they had a match on the Dunedin Green with five homo rinks, two of which wore chosen by tho Centre and three by the club. The club grounds wore gaily decked with flags and banners, and the fine weather attracted quite a small crowd of spectators, who appeared to enjoy the afternoon quite ns much as the players. The Ponsonby Boys' Brass Band attended and their selections, which were played in a manner that would have done credit, to adult bandsmen, were very much appreciated. Mr G. Selby, a Southland piper, also ootifributed to (ho proceedings with several bagpipe solos. The result, of the afternoon's bowling was a ■win for Dunedin by 111 points to 101. The match was close enough to maintain interest in the games all through, which wore played in the most friendly spirit. The closest score occurred in the game between two rinks that were skipped by C. R. Smith (Dunedin) and Ward (Queensland), which finished np 23 —21. in favour of the visitors. Tho two rinks tied at nine on the ninth head, and the visitors won the next five, making their score 17. Dunedin then scored eight points while Queensland only added one to their tally. At the twenty-second head the score was 20—18. Queensland got three out of the next end, but Dunedin won the last two, bringing their score up to 21. Another game that was followed with interest was skipped by Harraway (Dunedin) and Overell (Queensland). The home rink had the best of it most of the way, and at the seventeenth head led 16—8. By tho twenty-first end Queensland had come up to 13, but Dunedin got the best of them again until the last head, in which the visitors drew one. Campbell’s Dunedin rink ran up their score steadily against Archibald (Queensland), finishing 33—18, but Roberts more than recovered the loss for the visitors by dismissing Bentley's Dunedin rink 30—10. In the fifth game a Dunedin rink, which was skipped by Hogg, proved to formidable for their opopnents, particularly in tho early stages of the game. By the fourteenth head they had made 17 to the Queenslanders’ five, but the visitors began to improve towards the end of the game, and brought their score up from 10 to 15 in the last five heads. Taking the bowling as a whole tho Dunedin players ■ showed the best form, although of course they enjoyed the advantage of playing on their own green under familiar conditions. On Sunday the visitors were taken for a motor ride to Outram, and shown some of the country around Dunedin. The cars were lent for the occasion by private owners and oa the weather was bright over the Taiori, all the party enjoyed the outing. On Monday forenoon, as the guests of the Centre, the bowlers had a trip down the harbour to Broad Bay, where they were entertained to morning tea after a pleasant run on the steamer. MATCH AT KAITUNA. Monday’s match was played on the Kaituna Green, -which was also decorated for the day, and had the word “Hacromai” marked out in flowers on the slope facing the pavilion. There was a large attendance to view the match, including .many ladies, and tho green was looking at its best. The visitors gained the honours of the day, defeating Kaituna by 121 to 109. Williams (Queensland) and Sanders had a close game, which the former won 25—21. Queensland led at the start, but Kaituna overhauled them, and at the eighteenth head the score was 18 all. At the twentieth end they tied again at 19, but after this tho visitors got the best of it. There was an exciting finish in the game between Archibald (Queensland) and Smell ie. The latter was leading 18—9 at the seventeenth head, but four heads later Queensland had increased their score to 16 when Kaituna was 21. The scores after that were 20—21, 20—22, 22—22, 24—22. At the sixteenth head in his game with Elliott (Queensland) Plddiugton led 24 —12, but Elliott won tho next few' heads, and was 21 at the twentieth end. Piddington got three out ol the next three heads, making the score 29—21, with two to go, which were both won by tho visitors. The other two games were won easily—one by each side. The final match of the tour will be played on the Caledonian Ground to-day. To-night the ladies belonging to the visiting party willl bo entertained at tho theatre while the men are the guests of the Centro at a smoke concert. The party will leave for the north to-morrow.
