HAPPY GATHERING ON SATURDAY.
"BOWLS AN IDEAL GAME FOR THE TROPICS,"
DIPS INTO HISTORY.
Lawn bowlers were in high feather on Saturday night at the Interport dinner at the Peninsula Hotel Although the Shang- hai team lost the game in the afternoon, they did not appear un duly downcast. In fact they considered that after the round of concerts, dinners, and dances since their arrival in Hong Kong, they had acquitted themselves nobly!
There were about eighty diners, presided over by Hon. Mr. W. T. Southern, C.M.G., (Öfficer Administering the Government), President of the Hong Kong Lawn Bowls Association.

Bowls, said Mr. Southorn, was an ideal game for a climate when the thermometer is at 90 degrees, and the humidity somewhere about 98. Opportunity made one a bowls enthusiast although certain lewd fellows of the baser sort have said that bowlers and thieves both at tained their ends by devious diver gener from the straight and nsr row path. It had also been said that part of the game's fascination was due to the fact that refresh ments could be obtained at both
ends of the ground, but this was
gross libel.
A Keen Tassle. Referring to the interport game, Mr. Southern said they had been privileged to witness a very keen Lussle between two very fine teams He understood that this was the clonest game played in
Hong Kong-the match in Shanghai in 1020 also resulted in a score of 15-17, but then the score was the other way about.

Interport Bowls started with the Hong Kong "Big Four," of whom two members were at the dinner. That was in 1918. Up to now there had been 17 games, of which each team had won five at home, and one away. Shanghai had the satisfac- tion, however, that they were 12 shots up!

Mr. B. Wylie briefly proposed the health of the guests, and in reply Mr. R.

Mr. Malcolm, in reponse, gave thanks on behalf of the Shanghai team for the very hearty welcome afforded them. During their short stay here they had been most ably looked after by Messrs. Grimmitt and Laing. He also had to thank the clubs of Hong Kong for sever- al good and close games.
