BOWLING.

A CUEQUEUEU AFTERNOON.

Several more bowling clubs in and about the city began operations for the season on Saturday afternoon, opening functions taking place on tbs Auckland, I'on.sonby, Mount Eden, and Devonport greens. The day, however, did not bring forth the variety of weather that bowlers aud those who go to bowls love, the games beiug varied by occasional hurried desertions of the rinks for shelter, while the fuir portion of the visitors who had come unprovided for contingencies had their cup of joy considernbly marred by anticipations of a wet homegoing. In spite of such adverse dashes to a full satisfaction, however, the best was made of what sunshine there was, and other conditions being propitious, a generally successful afternoon was wrested from the enemy, thanks to hard-working officials, excellent arrangements, and festive decked, if somewhat heavy, playing greens.
