NORTH ISLAND TOURNAMENT ARRANGEMENTS AT HAMILTON. Another important subject that has had the-attention of the South Auckland Council is the North Island tournament, which has been alloted to Hamilton this season and will be played during February. The conditions governing the play of the tournament aro set out as follows:—• Section play: Three days of three games a day; section ties (if any) play seven heads. All section winners and all winners of seVen games to qualify for post-section play; post-section play, one life system. The entry fee to bo £2 10s per rink. Winners are to receive open orders, each player £4 4s; runners-up to receive open orders, each player £2 2s; also certificates to club and members of winning team. Rinks: All rinks from the S.A.B.C. must bo composed of members of the same club. Rinks from other centres must play at least three members of one club.

The tournament is open to all affiliated clubs in the North Island. En tries will close on Saturday, January 30, with the secretary of the Centre, Mr. H. J. Wernham, at Hamilton. South Auckland bowlers have never had the honour of being concerned in the control of an event so important as this one, and it can be safely left to them to make the coming festival a big success. On the measure of prominence in this matter will depend the future consideration from the powers that be in the way of the “big things’’ of the game.
