(By "Skip").

THE Open Rinks Competition is reaching an in- teresting stage and there are some good matches in the Third Round, which will be played to-morrow. "The Top of the Bill" will undoubted- ly be the game between two Craigengower rinks skipped by Bradbury and U. M. Omar, respectively.

The next match, as they came out of the hat, but not in its importance, is that between Hyde Lay's rink and Meyer's at Kow- loon Dock. The former will start firm favourites, but if the opposi- tion can produce their best form, a glimpse of which Logan and his skip showed against the Omars on Monday, then the result may be closer than many anticipate.

One wag, by the way, suggested in my hearing that the score will be 50 to 2. in favour of Hyde Lay's men, but I rather think he must have meant the starting price!
