N.Z. BOWLING ASSOCIATION

ANNUAL TOURNAMENT. SECOND DAY. —JANUARY 18. The New Zealand Bowling' Association’s annual tournament was continued on tha 18th in decidedly unpleasant weather. The morning broke very wet, and the rain that had fallen during the night had made most of the greens very heavy, though some of them played surprisingly well. An early start was made with the Rink Championsnip, but owing to there being so many ties in some of the sections the green winners were not found in several instances. Bad as the weather Was, no break was made in the play, which concluded shortly before 8 o’clock. The following ansi the results of the ■days play: CHAMPIONSHIP RINK TOURNEY MENTS. First prize, trophies of the value of 54 each and certificates suitably inscribed with the names of winners engrossed! thereon—one for each member of tho winning rink and one for the clubsecond prize, trophies of the. value of x. 3 each and certificates suitably framed, with the names of the winners engrossed thereon; third prize, four trophies of the value of £2 each, and one framed? certificate for the Hub; fourth prize four trophies of the value of £1 each* and one framed certificate for the Hub-) fifth prize, a framed oartifioata to each green-winner (not otherwise a. prizes winner) for the Hub.

Anticipations that the. bowling tournament would be concluded on Friday we.re not realised, notwithstanding the fact that play was continuous right up to 8.15 in the evening, when the failing light put a stop to the games. The Dunedin Green. to which play was confined, was thronged with spectators, and the liveliest interest was taken in all the contests, particularly as the finals approached. Rain fell steadily for over an hour in the morning when play was commenced, but th«e weather then cleared until about 6 o'clock in the evening when a misty rfain began to fall. That there have been a good many bowls used in the tournament that would not pass the test can hardly be questioned, but the bowler is apt to be generous or disinclined to challenge an opponent's bowls, and all escaped criticism until Friday, when the Dunedin rink skipped bv Gillies protested against the bowls used by the Fairfield team. It was intimated to the Fairfield men during the progress of the game, and at a stage when the scores were level, that exception would be taken to their bowls, and a protest was written land lodged before the actual final result of tho game was known. The eight bowls were put down the shoot by the official bowl-tester and four failed to stand the test. The rink was oonee'quently disqualified, and the came went to ths Dunedin team, despite their urgent request that Fairfield be allowed to proceed with tested bowls. As tho Executive would not agree to this the Dunedin team dccuned to take any advantage of a protest lodged in the interests of the game, and withdrew altosrether from the contest'. Following are the results of tho day's play: CHAMPIONSHIP RINK TOURNAMENTS. GREEN WINNERS. Fir-st Round: Fairfield (H. M'Lauchlan, J. Anderson,

Tait went from Hislop nth a good Lead;, and at the fourteenth head was 17 to Rislop's 8. Hislop never regained his lost ground, and finished 7 down. In his game with Payne Dall was 3 up at the last end. but Payne played his last bowl beautifully and lay 4, and won the game. Dall was leading with 5 to nii at the fourth end, but the scores were pretty clcse at the _ fifteenth end, and remained so to the finish. The final between Payne and Tait was remarkable for the vigour of the play and _ for the fact that driving w?-s brought into frequent use. Payne, wi: > perhaps overdid it. was not too succcssf-d], but Tait almost invariably got what ha wanted. The first end was burned, arid in the end following Payne scored 1. The second head was a very long one. and the leads each put a bowl into the ditch. Finally, Payne got 3 out of it. At the third head Taieri got 1. but the next two ends went to the Taieri men. At the twelfth head the scores >vere even at 8 all, and Kaituna obtained a single asd a. 2 inthe following two ends, but "this was much more than equalised bv Taieri at the fifteenth head, where Taieri scored five shots. This they followed up with a single, a 3, and two singles, while Kaituna responded with a single and a 2. The gamo was pretty well hopeless when the' last head was entered upon, Roslyn being then 6 down. The two men, however, played well, but only lav 2, and lost the championship by 4 .points. Mr J. M. Callaway (president of the council) and Mr R, H.
