BOWLING.
N.Z. TEAM AT HOME. LONDON, April 23. The Lord Mayor welcomed the New Zealand bowlers at Mansion House. He said that New Zealanders would always hold a warm place in the hearts of the British people for the part played in the war. He occasionally played bowls himself, and he was glad to see that the old game was not being displaced by such modern games as golf and tennis. Mr Barnett, president of the team, conveyed Mr Massey’s message to the Lord Mayor, stating that many of the team went to Britain, with grateful recollections of the hospitality to their soldier sons shown by London and throughout, Britain. Mr Barnett, in thanking the Lord Mayor, hoped the visit would lean to a return visit by Britishers. The second English test will be played in the North of England on July 15th, and the Scottish test at Glasgow in mid-June.
