DUNEDIN TOURNAMENT.

FIRST DAY—FRIDAY. RINK PLAY. The Easter Bowling Tournament was commenced on the Kaituna, Roslyn, NorthEast Valley, and St. Kilda Greens on Friday. The weather was not. good for bowling, but the competitors exhibited all the zeal and enthusiasm for which bowlers are noted. There were three competitions merging into one another, and the green winners in each of thoso have to plav off to decide the contests. Defeated players in the Provincial Match were qualified to compete in the City Match, and those beaten in the City Match passed into the Suburban Match, so that three games at least were assured before any rink made its final exit. The prizes competed for were:— Provincial Match, first £8 6s, second £6, third £5. and fourth £3; City Match, first £6, second £3; and Suburban Match, first £4 4.5, second £2 2s. Sixteen ends were played, the time limit being fixed at two hours. The Kaituna Green, though apparently a bit on the damp side, was in fine playing order, the bowlers expressing themselves as highly satisfied with its condition. Some rather interesting games were witnessed during the day. The conclusion of play saw Slater (Mornington) declared the green winner in the Provincial Match, and the City and Suburban Matches advanced to tho third and second rounds respectively. The final between Slater and Thompson was a very poor game, neither team playing well. " Indeed, Balmacewen, including their generally reliable skip (Thompson), showed a decided falling away from tho high standard which had characterised their play during the first three games of the tournament. Mornington started off with ihree singles, and then Balmacewen got 1, after which Slater's men went to 11 before Balmacewen again scored. On the ninth head Thompson scored 4, and in tho tenth lie added 2 more, bringing him up to 7. Then Mornington scored a 3 and a 5, following on which Balmacewen scored 1 on the thirteenth, 1 on the fourteenth, and 3 on tho fifteenth heads, the scores then being 19 —12 in favour of Mornington, who added 4 more on the last head, the game resulting in a win for Mornington by 23 to 12. The Provincial Match was completed on the Roslyn Green, D. G. Watson defeating J. Tait for green winner. Tho St. Kilda Green played very well, but the wind in tho afternoon made the draw a little tricky. There were a lot of runaway games, and teams achieving a big victory wont down just as badly in subsequent rounds. The p!*-.v, generally speaking, was not brilliant. In tho semi-final Payne was lying 3 shots at the last end, with the scores standing even, but Clover drew a very fine shot and finished 1 up. In the final Balk ran away from Clover, anil at tho end of threo heads was 13 up, his score including an 8. He continued to fecorc up to the sixth end, when ho was 22 to nil, and finished 23 up, his score including an 8, a 5, and a 4. Glover retired at the fourteenth end. Mr H. M. Ewihg made an efficient and obliging Kreen umpire. At North-East Valley tho green played well, but the wind made it somewhat tiicky. Excellent arrangements had been made for the day's play, .and in consequence everything went well. Mr C. Russell Smith made an efficient and courteous green umpire. In the final in the Provincial Match Smith's rink went away with a rattling lead, and increased its advantage all tho way along. At the thirteenth head the Otago team had 17 to its credit and the Taieri 4, and the latter, recognising the futility of trying to make up the deficiency, retired. The- following are the results: — KAITUNA GREEN. Pkovincial Match. First Round. J. Thomson, D. Blyth, 11. Davis, and A.

Bowlers have so far been exceedingly fortunate in the matter of weather for their Easier tournament. It is truo the wind both on Friday and Saturday upset the calculations of most of the players, but the rain held off, and play was at least possible. On Saturday the greens in the majority of instances showed an improvement on Friday, inasmuch as they were playing keener. This was due to the fairly stiff gale blowing on Friday, which had dried the sward considerably, and made the bowls run easier. The green winners were found in nearly every instance without a tie. or ties, having to be decided, which is a rather unusual circumstance, and one good result of this was that play was finished in good time. The prizes are £4. £3, and £2, and a certificate for the club of the winning pair. The sectional system was adopted, four cames being assured to each pair, and 16 heads were played, or a time limit of an hour and 40 minutes enforced. Play on the Dunedin Green was carried on under very favourable conditions. The wind was at no time troublesome, although during one part of the day it might have been tricky. All the players concurred in their enconituna on the work put in by the green-keeper. A good deal of excellent play was seen, and the numerous spectators, especially during the afternoon, were given the opportunity of witnessing some really fine bowling. The conclusion of the fourtli round saw MTlwrick and White (Dunedin) and Hunter and Holloway (North-end, Invercargill) each with four wins. Needless to say, a trood deal of interest was taken in the final for the green between these two pairs. A sterling contest eventuated, resulting in a substantial win for the southern representatives. The North-East Valley Green was in splendid order, reflecting great credit on I lie zealous green-keeper. Upon the completion of the third round Holgate and Lotting (Mornington) were in the lead with no losses, and, as they were drawn for tho fourth round, it looked as if they must run out as green winners. However, tho unexpected happened, and they went down to Trethoway and Pearce (Caversham), who hitherto had not won a game. The Balmacewen Green felt the force of the wind pretty severely during the earlier part of the day, and again late in tho afternoon, otherwise bowlers had but littlo to complain of. The conclusion of the fourth round saw W. Foster and D. Smith (Caledonian), J. Lambourno and 0. Tillie (Caversham), and J. Breck and G. Clements (Milton) with four wins each. In the draw for the semi final Tillie a bye.

Smith had an easy win over Clements, and in the play off for green-winner, by (rood generalship compassed the defeat of 111 lie, Tho wind sweeping over the St. Kdda Green again proved troublesome, but with Fridav'3 experience players negotiated tho uneven draw with better results. In the third round Fountain was 17 at the tenth end to Buchanan's 6. but the Outra.rn players subsequentlv scored 2 twice and 3 twice, and eventually finished 1 up. The Taieri pair, Tait and Campbell, proved a strong combination, and came through with an unbroken record, the only game in wliich they were placed upon their mettle being that against Buchanan, of Outram. Mr H. M. Ewinsr had charge of the play. The wind was less troublesome on the Caversham Green than might have been expected. This green is vapidly improving, and bids fair to be one of the best about Dunedin in a few years. Souter aiid Brown, of Timaru, had three substantial wins, but in the fourth round, defeated their opponents, Prebble and Tamblvn, by only one point, and became winners on the green. At the end of the third round Maddox and Piddington and Scuter and Brown were on even term*, with three wins each, but in the fourth round Piddington succumbed to Begg. Mr W. Begg acted as green umpire. There was a good attendance of the public at the Roslyn, Otago, and Kaituna Greens, and the various games in progress were watched with keen interest, especially those in which the contestants vied with each ciher for green championship honours. The following are the results:— DUNEDIN GREEN. First Round. G. Burt and J. M'Clvmont (N.E. Valley) 16 beat G. Murray and F. Wilkinson (Caversham) 8. W. MTlwrick and J. White (Dunedin) 18 beat C.

Bowlers were again fortunate in having fine weather on Monday for the continuation of the Easter tournament. As the tournament was approaching finality there was an additional interest in the play on Monday, and the Dunedin Green, where most of the games took place, was patronised, not only by bowlers, but by a large number of ladies. North-East Valley Green was also well patronised by onlookers. Both greens played well, and many competitors expressed satisfaction at the running. Strenuous efforts were made to get the tournament completed, but this proved impossible. A word of praise is due to Mr R. 11. Hanning, the centre's secretary, for his most careful and unremitting attention to the duties that devolved upon him. The final in the Provincial match re suited disastrously for Smith's rink, which suffered defeat, at the hands of the Mornington rink skipped by Slater. Mornington was first to break tho ice, and maintained the lead to the end. At the fourteenth end JMornington was 18 to Otago's 5. and though Mornington never got, a " hatfuJl " they finished up with a majority of 18. Watson and Balk played off for third place, and although the Timaru man was 10 before Balmacewen started to score, Balk and his men made matters even at tho twelfth end, and only suffered defeat by one point. In the City Match the Milton team, skipped by Buchanan, proved too much for tho Taieri rink, skipped by Tait, and finished 10 up. The scoring was verv small all through, and Taieri retired without playing the final end. The Suburban Rink Match,, which was commenced on Friday, was continued on the North-East Valley Green on Monday, tfie final being played off between rinks skipped by J. Hain (North End. Invercargill), and A. Rawlinson (North-East Valley). The game resulted in a rather hollow victory for the visiting rink, the scores at tho finish being 21 to 6 in their favour. The visitors led oik> up on the first head, and in the succeeding head they added five more. Rawlinson was two and three up respectively on the next two heads and in tho fifth North End increased their score to 8. In the sixth head North-East Valley scored one and then did not add to their total until tiie thirteenth, when one more was added, this being their final score. Haiti, however, had compiled a number of points, including five on the eighth, the concluding score being 21 to his opponents' 6. The visitors played splendidly throughout. The Doubles were advanced another stage. Following are the results of the day's play. RINKS. Provincial Match. Semi-final. C R. Smith 17 beat Watson 16. Slater 15 beat Balk 13. Fl N A L. J. Thompson.

Play in the Doubles was shirt.m! at 10 a.m., in fine weather, but shoitly after 11 o'clock the rain began to fall. Play was nevertheless continued until the games in progress were finished. These were the semi-final, in which Scctt and Smith had easy victories. Ho'.loway ai'd Buchanan then played off for third place. The game was fairly even up to the sixth end, after which Ilolloway got a couple of 3'e. which gave him a lead of 7. Subsequently hardly anything but singles was scored by either side, Ilolloway getting the mat seven times to his opponent's five, and finishing 10 up, The final between J. Scott and D Smith, both of the Caledonian Club, started shortly after 2 p.m., by which time the rain had cleared off, but it came on again, and the game was continued under unpleasant conditions. Notwithstanding this, some very good play was exhibited, pomeof the onlookers being of the opinion that no finer play had been seen during the tournament. It was pretty well level pegging all through the 21 heads, there never being a greater difference than 3 in the scores. The twenty-first head resulted i:i favour of Smith, and left the scoics even at lb all. and on the deciding head Scott scored 1 shot, and won the Double-. Following are the details: DOUBLES.
