Fourteen Briti-h pairs entered, but only 11 of thorn took part in the competition. .For the greater part of the day the con(fitions as far a.s weather was concerned left little to be desired.

About 5.50 p.m., wlion the third round was about half finished, rain fell heavily, and most of the greens ■were soon partly under water. This pm a-rtop to play for the day. and the games in*the third round will be continued to-day. On the Taieri and Green Island gieens however .the rain was not so heavy, and at these places the third round was completed. In cases where the games were tuifinisbed the skips retained their cards, and the players will go 10 the preen arranged for to-day. and start at 8.30 n.m. to complete the third round. Dn those gpeens on which play is not commenced till 9 o’clock the tune limit will be reduced from 2? hours to 2). hours J o as to ’bring them into line with those that start art. 8.30. i DUNEDIN GREEN.

The scores were seven all at the ninth head, nine all at the twelfth, and 15 all at the nineteenth. "White got two singles in the last two Iliads,'and won by 17 to 15. BALMACEWEN GREEN, high wind had an appreciable effect on p(sy at the Balmacewen Green. Good form was shown by Jones (Boslyn). Ills opponent in the first round was Hardhsy (West End, Auckland), and the hill nian encountered no stiff opposition, llitli sjx heads gone. Jones was 11 up, 1- rom there, the scoring was low and evenly distributed, but Jones for 7 up after the penultimate head, on which liar IK-y retired, beaten by 23 to 16. J. Turnbull (Sydenham), who played lead for W. Spider when tlie pair won the championship in 1920, was associated with Mitchell. They were, however, well beaten by a Taranaki pair, Maslm and M'Donald (Manaia). The latter skip played a brilliant game, running out cleverly. The latter were 10 up after sixhead? had been played, and the Sydenham pair could only reduce the lead by two at tl»g‘« finish. Mitchell made a late run. scoring seven on the last three heads. The .scoArig totals were high, M'Donald winning by 30 to 22. Xxlrk (Maitai) and Balk (Balmacewen) •wdre evenly matched. A remarkable feature of the game was the runs of scores to both pairs. Balk did not get in front till the twentieth head, when he led 19—li. Kirk then scored a two, and the tic resulted an.extra bead being played. Kirk won In the second round, M‘Donald was beaten from the tenth head by the tricky -wind" iji his game against Balk, and a loss bv 29 to 24 points was recorded against him -M'Donald was in front- til! then. A eevsq was counted against him al tlm fi>teentfa end. Although 12 down with thre° Redds- to go. he held out. prospects, but die scored only seven. A fine grime by the lead, lurnbml, gave the ■ Sydenham pair a win. by eight poini-. against Horcßev. Mitchell was seven down with eight Reads played, and with four to go', was still down 15—12. He took them, and won easily. Jones did not have much to spare at any stage against Kirk, who quickly established a. lead’ that called for carcftd play on the part of Jones, who ultimately won’ by 24 to 19 . '-Good bowling was seen in .section U, rn.fhe first round, but the wind in the aftcrBooii played havoc. TSo 1924 champion pair. J. Angus and J.>A. Redpath (Canterbury), proved too strojig for Laws and Morgan (Beckenham) in, the first round. Morgan held the lead to the ninth bead 7—4. In the 'allowing five heads Redpath had a sccrimr rim to 16 points, and ran out a winner by 19 to ,16.

Moyes (Timaru) had a win by one point only over Hutchison (Dunedin! Yitn 10 heaths gone, Moyee was 10 up. 19 —9. Hutch Lson ' played a good chasing game, and with, a head to play was leading by 23 to 22. F Moyes won by getting two counters.

an even fight, in which both pairs scored regularly, Konnington (Lower Hutt) hea|.Carman and Rhodes (North-East Yalley) t try two points, 16—14. A 'complete lapse from form by Smith fCaledoraan) nearly cost him his game against; Smith (Hokomii). The Caledonian players were not troubled up to tho six-

teerrth head, ■when they Jed by 24 points to 11. Their margin was reduced to 24—26 at the finish.

Redpalh had an 18-point lead on Rhodes with five lioads to play, and as Ik- was in form he took matters easy. The margin of six points at the finish was no indication of the game, for Rhodes was outplayed. His second win was scored by Kennington when he met Moyes. The Timaru pair were not caught by the winners until the sixteenth head. Kenninyton then had matters all his own way, and on the nin-teent-h head Moves retired, being seven down, . , A. 13-point win was recorded for Smite, who bas not challenged by Smith (Hokonuil, after the eighth head. Small (Caledonian) was beaten by a firstround loser in Hutchison. It was a great battle. Hutchison scored two on the twentieth head, making the scores 16 all, and in the final end he drew the winning shot. CALEDONIAN GREEN. Sections E and F were played on the Caledonian Green. The green was in line order and very keen. Hardie (Morningtou) led Nelson (Dunedin) 19—7 in the first round in Section E, after 10 heads had been played, and 22—10 after 14. Nelson notched 12 points On the next- four ends, bringing ihe- scores to 22 all. Hardie.

Farnham was leading 14—7 ■ after 15 ends, and althougn Hunt scored On all the remaining heads but one he just failed to get there, Farnham winning 16 —14. Hardie was too good for Willett in the second round in Section E, Willett going down to the tune of 22—11. The game Nelson v. Lowry was a very even go up to the seventeenth head, but then Lowry drew away to win by 20 to 17. Farnham scored his second win by defeating Colville easily. Keith led Porteous by 12 points to 5 after 11 ends, and by 18 to 12 with three ec is to play. Porteous however, notched four ami three on the nineteenth and twentieth. and wa- one up with one head to play. Ke' tie did not manage to score, and Porteous won by two.points. Wright showed belter form than in, the mormnaf. and won easily by 22 to 15. Doherty exhibited good form in the afternoon round, <iefeating Todd easily by 22 to 11. I T , Section F Fraser (Temuka) was leading Kettle (Caledonian! 17 —6 with 15 ends lilii' ed, but Kettle then got 1,4, 4,2, on the next four heads, making tire score 17 all, Fraser scored a single on the next but Kettle scored two on the last, •'.mi won by the odd point. K idyiads (Clyde) established an, early lend over Porteous (Wellington) 17 —6 and IS—S with 15 ends played. Porteous scored well in ihe latter part of the game, but made Ills effort too late, the Central Otago pair winning by 19 to 15. KAIKORAI GREEN. . , The. conditions, were excellent for howling at Kaikorai, where Section G was commenced. Hadlee (West End, Auckland) was set a hard ta-k to caroli Wade (British party) in the first round. The English pair had sccreu on each of the first seven heads, being 14 up. Two fours helped materially in bringing Hadlee to 10 in the next four heads. A.three to Wade gave him another nice lead, but yet Hadlee played strongly and six heads later was two up, the scores being 21—19. The game was one of changing forkmes, for Wade, then scored a three and a four, leaving Hadlee to score six on the last head to win. The Aucklander scored only two on the end. The Ilarcfloy Brothers (West End, Auckland) had a comfortable win over Seelye (Kaituna). winning all the way, and finishing eight up. Stvvoll (Canterbury) won by 28 to 17 from Boy land (North-East Valley). At the twentieth head he had the game won by scoring .three and being 16 up. Boyland got five on the last, the Canterbury pair not worrying over the result of the head. In'the second round, Hardley met defeat at ihe hands of Hadlee. It was a great finish, for Hadlee was loading 26 —9 at the eighteenth head. Hardley made a fine recovery. his card reading 4,5, 6 He was two do wn on the totals. At. tlie twentieth head, Beyland retired, Wade having a wanning margin of 14 points. Wade’s play was beautiful. Sewell also obtained his second win by beating Seelye by 6 points. The Kaituna plavers held a slight advantage when five, heads had been played. Sewell overhauled them, and from the sixteenth head did not look a likely loser. Because of the vast superiority of Scott (Caledonian) his match with Mazey, who played as substitute for Brodie’s British ]>arty pair, was a poor one. Seed* opened with a six, and maintained good form throughout, the others retiring on, the nineteenth head. when. Scott- was leading by 34 to 15. Another easy win was secured by M’Kenzie (Sydenham) against Bishop (Hokonni). With the exception of a seven on the eighth head, making the scores 9 all. Bishop was outplayed. The finish was ■at the twentieth he&d, where M'Kenzie’s score was 27 to 14, but on the last, end Bishop got five. A game of fluctuating fortunes was that, between Ferguson (Balmacewen) and Beyuon (Petonel. After catching Beynon on the eleventh head, Ferguson increased his score from 11 to 16. A five on the eighteenth gave Beynon the lead again bv one. Three singles on the last heads gave Ferguson Hi's win by 2 up. First away and first home would be a good description of the win by Bentley (Dunedin) over Finnan (Beckenham). The former was 14 up. after eight heads, before Firman open ml his account and was 20 to 5 with 13 beads gone. By adding eleven in the next five ends. Finnan reduced the margin, but the Dunedin pair were too strong -and won by 24 to 18. Scott and M’Kenzie were the only first round winners to win . in the second series and thov had wins by big margins. Scott beat Firman by 17 points. M’Kenzie played Mazey and beat him by 27 to 17. Bentley’s chance was spoiled when Beynon stored seven on the eighteenth head, when Bentley' was four points in the lend.' After being 17 down with two bead- to go, Bentley scored, two fives, and lost by 24 to 17. CAVERSHAM GREEN. Arthur (Tuapeka) had a big majority over Stewart (Edgeware) at the eleventh head, leading by 17 to 5. Thereafter, however, be failed to score, while his opponent added 17 to his tally. Duncan (Wellington) and Bardsley (Duneclinl had a close finish. The local man needed 3 to tie on ’the last end, but could get only a brace. Til lie (Caledonian) and Lewis (Alexandra) had another even finish, the Central Otago pair getting a single and a- three before going down by a single shot. Forrester (Caversham) got a five on Casey (Carlton) on the last head, but was still a point in arrears. King (Otago) was one down on the last head against Stevenson (Invercargill), but a brace gave him victory. ANDERSON’S BAY GREEN. Soclons K and L were played on the Acderson’e Bay green, which was fast and keen. In both sections there were some wide margins between the contestants in the first round. In the afternoon in the second round in Section K Hinton (St. Kilda) and Kirkwood (Dunedin) had a good go. Pirkwood led 14—7 after fourteen heads, but 3,1, 5 to Hinton on the next three saw the latter in front, 18 —14. Kirkwood came again and led 20 —18 on the twentieth head, but Hinton notched 3 op the last head, and won bv the odd point. Another good game was that between Young (Kia Toa) and Newby (Rotorua). Young led 10—3 after five ends, but 2 and t> on the next two heads saw Newby in fx-ont. 'JTie load changed hands again seve'-nl times. Yonng led 21—19 on the eighteenth, but Newby notched 1,1, 2 on the last three heads, and won by two points. In Section L the winners were far superior to the losers, the margins being wide. ROSLYN GREEN. Perfect greens at Rosiyn resulted in fine bowls being played. Despite the heat and drying winds of the last few days, the green was in great order, being neither keen nor dull. The English pair. Bean, defaulted, having decided not to play in the uairs following a strenuous week of singles ami rinks, Bentley (Kelbtmi) had a runaway victory 1 from Davies (Edgeware). ' Davies opened well, scoring a four, but Bentley scored 3, 5,5, 3in the successive heads. Another two to Davies, a single to Bentley, and another single to Davies ended ihe Edgeware pair's scoring. Bentley took the next head, and after the seventeenth Davies retired with a score of 37 to 7 against him.

Foster (Caledonian) won by 20 to 14 against. Amgen - (Christchurch), hut had to fight hard io keep his lead. The pairs wore level. 13—13, at the sixteenth head, but a four to Foster to beads later gave him tin; winning margin. Kingsland (Mailai) did not have any worries to ensure a win over Morgan (Port Chalmers), winning by seven points after easing off. •

In tlie first round of Section N Bremnor (West End, Auckland) had a narrow scrape home against Anderson (Rosiyn). He appeared to have the game safe at the eighteenth head, when he was in front by 24 to 12. It war not all over bar shouting for Brenmer, as the home pair outplayed thorn, scoring 1,4, and 4 on the last three heads. „ The prospects of Tonkin (North-East Valley) were considered bright, yet he must be given the credit of luck to have beaten Hewitt (Alexandra). The Otago Central pair played nicely, three heads to go were seven up—ls to 8. A single and a 1 wo only to Tonkin dulled his chances, but in the last head his lead (Eigby) drew two shots and Tonkin lay with his four bowls as scorers. Hewitt drove and missed. Tonkin winning by 17 to 15, after an excellent game. The Wellington skip (Frost) was drawing much better than Dobbs (Christchurch) from the outset, uud before the Christchurch pair got going he had scored 13. At the sixteenth head Frost led by 20 points, and finished 14 up. Davies (West End. Timaru), who bad his rink lead, Ellis, with him, went down badly, by 31 to 11 against Buchan (Balmacewen). In the second round the winners of the first round met the losers, and all added to their lists. The closest game was between Tonkin and Anderson. The Valley pair led by 18 to 12 with two heads to go. Anderson got two on each of the last two heads, Tonkin winning by 18 to 16. All the other pairs had comfortable wins. i ST. HILDA GREEN.

A single and a six to . the leaders materially . altered the complexion of the game, which ended at the twentieth head.

In the second round Adess and Law-sou had a keen contest, and there were only two points between them at the finish, the former winning by 21 points to 19.

KAITUNA GREEN. With the scores 17 all at the last head, Dewar (West End) just got homo against Wylie (Island Bay), The game was a neck and neck one until the fifteenth head, when Wylie was loading by 16 -10. Dewar took the next five, and a one by Wylie saw both pairs lying level at the twenty-first. An extra head w-as played, which went to West End by three, the game thus ending by 20 —17 in their favour. The British Flirty pair scheduled to play in the section did not appear, their place being taken by a St. Kilda pair skipped by Smeaton, who had rather a runaway victory against Calvert (Beckenham). A close tussle was witnessed between Lindsay (Kaikorai) and Comes (Mt. Eden), the game veering from one to the other right up to (he last head, when Lindsay got home by the narrow margin of two, the scores being, Lindsay 16. Comes 14. M'Laren (Dunedin) and Marks (United), although separated by a wide margin at the finish (36—18 against the latter), played a much closer game than the scores would indicate. >t‘Laron’s drawing w»s a 'treat

to watch, and though Marks at times played some beautiful draws his shots at times appeared to Ire a trifle heavy.' Although it is doubtful whether he could have won, it is certain that he was unlucky to lose by so many, as at one period of the game, a drive which just missed its objective, left bis opponent lying six. MORNINGTON GREEN. Pastier (St. Clair) had the measure of Clarke (Rockynook) throughout the piece, and although the latter made a strong effort in the latter stages of the game the final scores read: Pastier 22, Clarke 17. The contest between Stewart (Dunedin) and Pollock (Newtown) was anyone's game up till the seventh head, after which the Newtown pair were completely outclassed, the game going against them with the scores 26-12. .Smith (Kaituna) got a severe drubbing at the hands of Chegwin (Beckenham) , and took the mat only four times throughout the game. Like many other competitors, he was handicapped by strong gusts of-wind; nevertheless, at no part of the game did he look like winning- . Although Batchelor (Te Rangi) opened well against Nisbet (Balmacewen) by notching a six in the first bead, be immediately lost the mat the succeeding five, during which time Nisbet registered 2 From then on the game was even till the seventeenth head had gone, after which a brace of singles and a two put Nisbet in the lead. Batchelor took the shot in the next two and again drew level, but a' three by Nisbet in the last head gave him the game with the score at 24-21 in his favour. . W. Dee (Maitai) made up for his defeat in the first round by gaming an easy win over Nicol in the second. He seemed to have gauged the strength of the wind, for which he made fnil allowance. and at the twentieth head was 22 against Nicol’s 11, the latter retiring. ST. CLAIR GREEN. Harraway (Dunedin) had a couple of easv wins, scoring at the expense of Smith (Temuka) and Bragg (Caledor.ian). who was substituting for a .British pair. The latter game was tinged with a touch of burlesque. Murie, who led for the substitute pair, seemed to treat tne whole matter as a huge joke, much to the annoyance of his opponents and of those on the adjoining rinks. _ . , HineHcliff had a morning out against Bra< r " scoring 24 before his opponent started. In spite of this big win, the Anderson’s Bay man met Ins match m the afternoon, when he played Eftord, of Edgeware. the ‘ score at the' nineteenth and showing 34-7 in the visitor s favour. The two unbeaten pairs m this section skipped by Harraway (Dunedin) and Eftord (Edgeware) were m action when 1 FAcmnn^(Otago) obtained three easy wins in third, game being * plelesl just as the heavy rainstorm came on In each match he established an easly lead which bis opponents found impossible to overhaul. , . M ‘Hutcheson (Kaituna) scored his win at the expense of Meynck (Lowei Hutt). securing the four necessary for a win on the last end. OTAGO GREEN. Minto (British party) had the upper hand of Ham (North End) right ihipugh the game, and at the eighth head the‘ latter bad registered two only as against Mmto s i2. From the thirteenth Ham pulled up s £ mi c what, but managed to reach only H jit the final head the scores reading, Mmto 2, Ham 14. The green appeared to b- drawing a little too keenly tor Walker (Auckland), who went down rather badly to .Cooper (Lin wood). Walker led till the third head, and the tally read 4—l in his favour; but a rather lucky six put the Linvyood pair in the lead, which thev retained until the eleventh. Walker then drew all round the lack and, at ihe conclusion of the head, lay four, which brought him level. The fourteenth saw Cooper again take the mat and retain it for the next four heads. A one by Walker followed, and in the two final heads Linwood registered four, thus taking the game with the scores st-andin-g 22—T5. The tussle between Carswell (Taien) and Henaghan (Caledonian) proved a close one, and its ultimate result caused some surprise to a few Taieri supporters.
