CONCERNING YE ANCIENT GAME O’ BOWLS. Truly, it is a gentleman’s recreation. A game not tor the hot-headed variety—neither for the gentleman who is chronic to that malady of getting “warm under the collar.” It is for your cool, patient gentleman—though we have grave doubts as to whether the modern exponent of the globular apparatus will even attain those heights of mental equilibrium which characterised our sporting and distinguished admiral— Drake. True, many a bowler lias attempted to emulate the hero of the Spanish Armada. When it is announced “refreshments are served” —no matter how strong the call for a cooling beverage—it must await your bowler's pleasure. And he plays on to win (or lose), neither showing his lack of coolness by the sweat of his brow, or by his longing looks towards the pavilion. Thus he shows his coolneßS. Then when finished complacently wends his way back to the pavilion, sips his drink quite casually, munches a biscuit, discusses politics, and then lets everybody into the secret of his coolness —he got his “clobber”— shirt, blazer, sunhat, trousers, sox, etc.—from Cameron’B. Cricket and tennis enthusiasts show the self-same wisdom. They get their sports wear at Cameron’s —and at the same time get the coolness, distinctiveness and long wear so desirable—exclusive wear, at an exclusive price—low price. s Men’s and Boys’ Outfitters, Stafford Street, Timaru.
