CIRCE WINS DECIDING RACE THE LEADING SKIPS

FOR SEAWANHAKA CUP

ROTHESAY, AUGUST 25.

Circe won the fifth and deciding race for the Seawanhaka Cup to-day, and the

· trophy remains in the custody of the Royal Northern Club for another year at least.

After all the many disappointments, the fifth race made a fitting finish to a long drawn out contest, and after the incident of Monday, it was probably the fairest finish.

The following are the leading skips in the three divisions of the Lawn Bowls League-

"Lovely smell of cooking in the club this morning. Scrambled eggs, cut- lets, and that excellent curry the secretary introduced from Penang. Makes a feller's mouth water. I've half a mind to go through the lot."

"Can't you talk of anything except food? I doubt if I shall ever eat again.”·

“Faitly dripping with sweetness and light this morning, aren't you? Advanced case of hangover, I'll bet a couple of chips. Some of you young fellers haven't enough sense to cómé in out of the rain.”

"

'That's right. Moralize, you hypo- crite. I suppose you never woke up with a head or a tongue like a trið of ancient gunuy bag.”

"On the contrary, I have in the past cultivated some of the finest hang- overs of all time. But that was back in the bad old days before I'd heard of Rose's Lime Juice."

**What on earth has Rose's got to do with hangovers P,”

'Everything, my dear Watson. It wipes them out. If you stick to Gimlets or have a good etlff swig before going to bed, you'll have no regrets in the morning.".

"Rose's Lime Juice you sáid ?."

"Yes, Rose's."

"Land me a pencil, and I'll write it. down. “*
