At a meeting of the Dominion Bowling Council last night an Important alteration In the method of representation on the Council was decided upon. Mr. M. P. Barnett moved that each Island should select six members instead of five, and this, with the addition proposed by Colonel Collins that no centre should have more than two elected members, was carried. It was made quite clear that if smaller centres did not nominate their representatives it would then be legal for lamer centres to fill the vacancies, and in tills case only would it be penmlssable for a centre to have three representatives. North Island members of the Council expressed great pleasure at the carrying of the amalgamated motion, as small North Island centres ore very keen to have an opportunity of being represented on the Dominion Council.
