BOWLING

SOUTH AUCKLAND TOURISTS., At Elt'hara this morning the visiting South Auckland howlers defeat- -./ Eltham by three points. Tins afternoon contingents of the visitors where playing on the two Sf'ratfor'd greens. At the Avon green, Mr J. Masters, president, in extending • a welcome,

said the Avon men were very pleased to have the opportunity of having another game with the South Auckland men. He hoped the visitors would eiijCy themselves and the Avon men would do everything possible to make the afternoon enjoyable except to provide a "spot." The green might be a little heavy as the result of recent rain, though a few W/")ks ago it was quite the other way.

Mr Mason, on behalf of the visitors, said they were very pleased to renew acquaintance with the Avon i men, some of whom, no doubt, visited the Waikatc last year. Personally, he had pleasant recollections of his visit to the Avon green two years ag*o. The surroundings of the green were very beautiful, which

'must add greatly to members' enjoyment. The club in the Waikato was a "dry" one, but they enjoyed themselves quite well in of that fact. On the present tour they had had a splendid time in all the towns visited, and scjne were* wondering if they could not manage to get their leave extended for a week. They had e'eme away with thirteen ladies and were going back with fourteen, and if they stayed longer he did not know what might hap-

pen. Cheers were exchanged and playwas started.
