The Waimate bowling green attracts ,i good many players every evening. the various handicap competitions, singles and rinks, are creating great interest, and as cadi round has to be .hushed in a specified short period, flayers have to get off their draw to qualify. The holders of the pairs and rink badges also get plenty or challenges so that great enthusiasm at the game is manifested. The U annate Kities fire;! a match on Thursday afternoon for Air V, l'wome\ s dip. T'ne weather was lavuiirable ami . ouic good shooting wa.-. done.

Harris was the first to arrive, but after a long and exhaustive enquiry he was disqualified on the ground that he accepted outside pacing. This seems to have been quite unpremeditated on the part of the competitor, and was unfortunate for him as he came in well ahead of the rest. The race was arranged and prizes presented by Mr E. Casbolt, of the Centaur Cycle Works, and Messrs J. Sinclair, E. S. Mills, A. Greig, E. Travers, F. Saner and G. Joyce were the officials.
