Rain at one period threatened to wash out the whole pro- gramme of matches in the Lawn Bowls Open Rinks championship yesterday; but the weather cleared up remarkably well in the after- noon and nearly all the matches arranged were played.

The day saw several surprising re- sults, chief of which was the dufent of Bradbury's rink on the Police R.C. green by a Third Division Recreio Fink. A. E, Coates was aissent from Bradbury's rink, his place being taken by M. A. R. Souza. The rink, j s therefore, comprised Souza, Londolt, Rt. Basa and Bradbury. On paper, this is a strong rink but it went down badly to J. C. Remedios, C. C. Pereira, O. P. Remedios and E. de Souza by 14-20,

Until the 14th head, the match be- tween A. S. Gomes, A. A. Razack, A. M Omar and U. M. Omar, of the Craigengower C.C., und S. Eccleshali, F. McGowan and G. H. W. Cutlip, J.

An exciting head in the closing stage of the First Division League Bowls match between Craigengewer C.C. and Kowloon C.C. on Saturday. The Valley team finally won by ive shots. A. W.
