LAWN BOWLS.

It was left to Morrison and Holland, who were the last to finish, to provide the thrills. Stirring Finishes in the Morrison scored a four at the

the Second Division. As the Civil Service cannot win Second Division honours, nor yet finish at the bottom of that Division, they would be well advised to strengthen the first team. Against the Craigengower C.C. on Saturday it is true that they were up on two rinks and only lost by five all over, but their position is now too precarious to run any more risks of losing points,

Few, if any, expected the East Point Recreation Club to be beaten on their own green by the Craigengower C.C., but the latter won on two rinks and drew in the next, winning by a margin of 14 shots. McKellar's rink could only draw with Sellwood's-18 all-but McTavish went down to Knott by eight shots, whilst Whiteford was six to the bad

Pendered "collected" a six at the ninth head and a four in the tenth head, which made all the difference in the result on this rink.

Police Triumph at Kowloon.

In writing last Friday I re- marked that the Police would start favourites against the Kow- loon Cricket Club, even although the match took place on the lat- ter's green. They justified this prediction by winning on

"There must be rules for every game," says Judge Sabath, "and the matrimonial game will be smoother if you remember that in a sense you are being reincarnat- ed; that you are beginning a new life, assimilating a new viewpoint, entering a new sphere."

The following seven rules in the judge's opinion contain the essence of a successful marriage: 1. Keep in step with your Partner's mind, body and soul.

2. Remember that vulgarity and successful marriage are mort- al enemies.
