ON WANGANUI GREENS

Wanganui Bowling Club’s Labour Day Tourney; Competition Entries Only a small number of members turned up for the tournament to be played on the Wanganui Bowling Club’s greens on Labour Day. Play had to be abandoned at the end of the third round, because of heavy rain. Despite heavy overnight and early morning rain the prospects of a fine day appeared to be quite good. The greens were in excellent order, although somewhat heavy. The strong westerly wind prevailing, however, iproved most troublesome to even Ihe most experienced players. Twelve rinks of three players aside were played, composed of the following members: Grant, Hammond and Walker; Powell, Greener and Bracks; Gatward, J. A. Thomson and Harris; F. Johnston. Pidgeon and J. L. Lowe; W. R. G. Thomson. Lange and White; Mepham, Cook and Tomsett; Ryall, McDonald and Young; Bates, Alex. Thompson and Tremain; Digby-Rob-erts. Doig and Glengarry; Skelsey, Haworth and Cooke; R. N. Wilson, Hoar and Bretherton; Horn, Ward and Boulton. The first round resulted as follows: Bracks 13. beat Walker 5; J. L. Lowe 24. beat Harris 3; Tomsett 13. beat White 6; Young 11, beat Tremain 9; Glengarry 15. beat Cooke 13; Boulton 11. beat Bretherton 9.
