Mr J. Abbott wrote stating that the rinks tournament at Christmas could not bo deemed a success financially owing to the entries being so small.

Easter would be some three weeks earlier this year than it was last year, and there would be a greater chance of getting fine weather. —It was decided to hold a meeting of delegates ‘on February 5 to consider the question of holding a rinks and doubles tournament at Easter. It was decided that the matches against the Now South Wales bowlers be played on the following greens:—Roslyn, (Monday, February 19; Taieri, Tuesday, February 20; Dunedin, Wednesday, February 21.
