Bowling.

DO NOT EXPECT.

To ">-l tin; shot if you are not up. Thar when yuu deliver your bowl badly it will lake the .same course as though Vim had delivered it well. " Too much from n new beginner ; and it you have one in the rink, remember that ii little " kid " inspires confidence. •J'o be picked in the team for some big event if your form does not justify inclusion. .Sympathy if y«u are. beaten at bowls. If you hud the "green woolly and against good play, liy all mcanis say so, and have ilone with it.

Anything fixe from an older player than "yourself if lie tells you that you will make a bowler when you have had as inu::li experience as he has—although you always win when opposed to him. To get inside the jack. If you get alongside, be satisfied. \Evcrv bowl you send up to be a. chalker". If you average a yard from the jack all day, you can beat all-cornel's. Information from an umpire if you do hot ask for it. A little too much to nay is better than not saying sufficient under vLe circumstances.

An umpire to tell you there's four against you (such being the case), if you simply ask him who is shot. Always to win. Remember that at bowls, "as in every other pastime, there art- " others."

Things to always go your way. And when they don't, if you can't laugh, don't swear—it's a bad habit.

To be an experienced bowler the first season or I wo; and always remember, when inclined to drive, that, you must crawl before von can walk.

Old playere to play out of their places when at practice; it doeUsn't work, and tends to make them say in future when asked to join in: "No, thank you, 1 feel a. bit oft' this evening." That when you walk on to the green with your four bowls and drop them down one after the other and make . knuckleholes in the green, the green-keeper can give you an even surface.
