CIGARETTE FIRES BOWL.

1 NTE AORDI NAR Y BOW LING INCIDENT. A remarkable illustration of the damage a lightixl cigarette can do wa.s evidenced at the Pahiatua Bowling Green on Wednesday afternoon during the course ot a game played by Messrs K. P. Badge i amt R. Braggins in a mutch lor tin jun-ior-singles pairs competition. Air Braggins, thi.* lead, was up near kitty when he noticed smoke issuing from the ditch, ami. on investigating, found that one or the skip’s bowls, which had been ditched, was in contact with ;t discard'd cigarette. The asli of tin cigarette had burned a hole as wide as a sixpennv piece and deep enough to take a thumb tip into the rubberiz'd composition of the bowl, but fortunately tho hole was just off the rolling surface, and the bowl was >tilf playable, for the pair carried on again and won tilt game. 'Phe incident should serve to warn howlers of the folly of throwing butts into the ditch.
