BOWLING.

GISBORNE CLUB. The -weather yesterday afternoon was the reverse of favorable for bowling, but a few enthusiasts of the Gisborne Club ventured on the green and ;played several heads in an ordinary game, which was left unfinished on account of the rain. A match in the first round of the handicap pairs was played, as one of the contestants had to leave town last night. The players and scores in this were as follows: Johnstone and Kyme (9) 35, beat R. G. Crawford and Dodd (7) 2-0. —The losers scored a single on the first head, but in the next five the winners put on eleven points, and the strong lead thus gained was never lost, though Crawford and Dodd put up a dozen points, on five heads. The game was decided on twenty heads. TURANGANUI CLUB. Given fine weather, the members of the Turanganui Club intend to indulge freely in their favored pastime during the Christmas holidays.
