"Weather prospects," that sub- ject so dear to the heart of all Bri- tishers-appears bright as I write, and I do not anticipate a postpone-K.C.C. ment of to-morrow's bowls pro- gramme, which incidentally does not seem to provide the usual stan- C. de R. dard of interest.

EXCITING BOWLS AT K. C. C. GREEN
STRONG RECREIO PAIR DEFEATED
TRAILING behind S. Randle and W. L. Walker throughout the game and actually being led by 12 shots at the 12th head, L. F. Xavier and C. F. (-) Remedios struggled gamely and from that period on had the better of the play, scoring 15 shots in the remaining heads to lose by only a solitary shot, in their Second Round encounter in the Open Pairs Lawn Bowls Championship, at the Kowloon Cricket -Club yesterday.

In the First Division, Craigengo- wer team should have little difficulty K.F.C. in overcoming the Civil Servants, C. de R. while the Hong Kong Football Club and K.C.C.elash will no doubt duce a closer finish..

An even game can be expected at Austin Road where the .K.B.G.C. are at home to Kowloon Dock.
“Ás (many of the latter are also members of the home club it is even more than a local "Derby," and it is as hard to tip the winner.
JUNIOR CLASSIC
Top of the bill in the Second Divi- sion is the match at Sookunpoo be- tween the Indians and the K.B.G.C. With a newly demoted club, on the one hand, and the Junior Cham-
other, pions, on the
a very even match should ensue with the home team probably winning by a small
margin.
The Kowloon - footballers have a sporting chance of taking the points from the Electricians, in the third Division, while Club de Recreio, hosts to the Givil-Servants, will have the hardest task in this division, and it is with a good deal of uncertainty that I tip them to win..
TAIKOO CHINESE ATHLETIC ASSN.
Farewell Party To Mr. And Mrs. Greig
THE BOWLS DISPLAYED WAS GOOD, ALL THE FOUR PLAYERS BEING PROMINENT WITH SOME NICE SHOTS. THE PORTUGUESE PAIR, TOOK LONGER TO SETTLE DOWN AND SOON FOUND THEMSELVES WELL IN ARREARS, BUT IN THE LATTER PART OF THE GAME, THEY OUTBOWLED THEIR OPPONENTS AND HAD HARD LUCK WHEN IN THE LAST HEAD, AFTER LYING THE SHOT, REMEDIOS WAS NOT ABLE TO SECURE THE EXTRA ONE REQUIRED FOR A DRAW.
Scoring was very slow in the game between T. Coleman and The Taikoo Chinese Athletic As-G. N. Mitchell, and F. X. Soares and C. H. Basto, and at the 15th are giving a farewell head there was only the difference of one shot in favour of the sociation party to Mr. and Mrs. K. E. Grieg, Kowloon Dock pair, who scored a four and two singles in the next on the occasion of their coming de-three heads, while their opponents only collected a single on each
