BOWLING.

SfcnUarie* are rcquestsJ to forward particular* «{ fames played and of forthcoming mashes. SOT ES UY JACK A, the annua meeting of the Taieri Club Ml W. H. L. Christie (president) being in the chair, tiie annual report, the substance of which has already appeared, was adopted. Mr A. F, Queleh was elected president. Mr Win. Allan vice-president, and Mr J. A. M'Kinnon secretary. Flattering references wore made to Mr M'Kinnon’s long and oxcelli-m s- rvtce. Most of tiio subcommittees w; re re-elected. No fewer than 11 new members were elected. It was decided to continue the two-life system for the Singles Championship, also to hold a social. The system of reserving three rinks in the evening for matches was resolved upon. ft was suggrsled to the Match Committee to have ei b matches played off before the end of l-ibuary, so as to conserve the daylight. A committee was set up to make arrangements for a bazaar to liquidate the indi lardness on the club, and make further impiovetiieiits. The delegates to the centre (Mes.-rs Allen and j. A. M'Kinnon) were lefi with a free hand as to the system under wha-li inter-club matches should be played. Good news n,,m Australia ! Mr A. J. Whitchouse, the Now Mourn Wales representative on the comm nee appo nud by the Au.-tralla.-i Bowling Co.c.cii to arrange for the toui' of New Zealand, informs me (says a writer in the Sydney Referee) that 1 can positively elate tnat a team will visit the dominion in January next, cviji if it is made up of New Souih Wale* men only. A meeting of the committee was to have been hold in Sydney to-morrow, bur owing to the smallpox scare it might be necessary to postpone the meeting for titree weeks, or hold it in Melbourne. Mr Whitchouse say.s ho ran give no information as to what the other members of the commutes have done in the other States, but there was no doubt a good term will go in th- - mcnt.’i st: tc<l. AL White house docs no! believe in correspo/idence by letter in these matters, but afie.r the meeting has been held, when wo will be able to gain some idea of the men from other par to of the Commonwealth who will join the New South Wales section, all arrangements will he completed by wire. The Christchurch Centre has decided, as tlie next association tournament is to he in Dunedin, to nominate one delegate to

ihe Dominion Association Council, and to communicate to the Dunedin Centre the C.iristehmeb Centre's views in regard to representation. Says the Sydney Referee: Seven of the \ isiting New Zealand l o.vh ts- Messrs Mari tin lay lor, Lawrence, 'Lack (Auckland), Dal!, Veitch (Wellington). C-oombes (Thorndon), and (iilmour I 1 )u/n-din) -.-. p•■ V an enjoyable afternoon .it Mosin;n. Hie Northerners, with Secretary .1 in M’Neilly as sub., ■ and Martin Taylor skipping, met and made ‘ a very honourable draw wit It a strong Mos--1 man (piarcet, made no of Leach, Jenkins, j Woodhouso. and Walters (.-)-19 all the I visitors making up a loi of leeway on the I last two or three ends. In an adjoining- link Gilinour. Veitch, and Coombes met a Press four, with skipper M‘L o i in charge. The penmen had evidently got over their stage fl ight, and all round showed improved form. They finished no winners by 25—19, and eo, honours being even, it was agreed to play the last of the rubber the following week. Messrs Lawrence. Sayers, Black, and M. Taylor had a very enjoyable afternoon at Hunter’s Hill, and succeeded in making good against a local four— M‘( ’lure, (,‘harlcsvvorth, Cahill, and Knight is)- the New Zealanders in this case winning by 21 15. On each oocas on cordial greetings were exchange d, and the local men were tutored in the New Zealand bowlers’ “war” song. “Roll. boys, roll.” i
