A representative of the Christchurch Press who interviewed Mr. A. W. Roberts, the Canterbury and New Zealand representative cricketer, on bis return to Christchurch, after fulfilling a professional engagement in the Lancashire League, was surprised to find.that both Roberts and W. E. Merritt, another Canterbury cricketer in the League, bad become “addicts” to the sport of bowls. The game is played m Lancashire on “crowned” rinks, _on which exceptional judgment is required to combine the bias of the bowls with the camber of the floor. Many large tournaments are held, the winners receiving as much as £IOO in prize money. Roberts said that the good professionals in crown howls earned £2O a week. OAKS AND HEEDS. “Doha may fail but reeds brave the storm." A loud, lusty cough may soon ease off, but a. small persistent cough may be harder to dislodge. But don't take rinks with any cold. Get busy with Baxter’s Lung Preserver. This rich, warming, soothing remedy gives relief with the first dose and its excellent tonic properties bring quick recovery. Insist, on “Baxter’s"—it’s better. 1/0. 2/fi and 4/0 at all chemists and stores.*
