Many points of interest are contained in J. F. Devlin's latest book on badminton which has recently been published under the tile of "Badminton For All".

BOWLS TITLES
Leading Exponents, Will Compete
Entries for the annual lawn bowls championships closed yesterday, but the Hon. Secretary of the Association was not in possession of all the cards and it is impossible, therefore, to give the number of competitors who will be participating in the tournaments
this year.
It is fully anticipated that all the lending bowlera in the Colony will be competing, while several will be making their debut in championship bowls.
R. Dunean, the present holder of the title, is still in the Colony and will be defending his crown, but B. W. Bradbury, last year's runners-up, is on Home leave.
It is understood that among the entries will be U.M. Omar, R. V. Luz, A. W. Grinmitt and A. M. Holland, all former hollers of the title.
