To-night will be the finale to what has been a very successful annual meeting. Records may not have been shattered as wholesale as in 1935 when W. Lawrence sky- rocketed to fame, but competition has been keen and spectators have been treated to races that have been as thrilling as wished for.

OPEN PAIRS FINAL TO-MORROW

IT IS TO BE EXPECTED that greens would suffer from wear and tear as a season progresses, particularly when, as in Hongkong, playing mem- bers of the various Clubs are increasing in numbers each year, but, I would say, there is none more affected than that at the Club de Recreio where bowls has been adopted with the avid enthusiasm that is one of the characteristics of the young sportsmen of this Club for any game.

While not pointing particularly to Recreio in respect! of the point I am about to mention, it was on that ground last Tuesday that inequalities or the green around the spot where a full head lay had effect on several shots, and, con- sequently, luck entered into a match that was otherwise one of skill. That was the U. M. Omar-J. McKelvie match.

It is very unfortunate in bowls that the spot where lies the jack for a full hend is also the spot where players (from that end) either place the mat or place their feet in the delivery of their woods.

not unnatural, therefore, that this spos should wear and even take na slight Indentation, and no amount of care can avol it. especially in Hongkong where only rain and darkness stop people frons playing

We all kraw the rules and putting the mat within the hum distance To the ditek – à e one yard - would mean that the feet are placed on and around the full head so J'utting the mat further away from the ditch would mean that in time the shorter hearts wild suffer

Kave one of the best exhibitions ever seen in the competition. But that was three years ago, and though U.M. has lost little of his skill-he is still the most consistent bowler in the Colony to-day-there are

many who consider A. M. a better player than he is now.

I doubt if Ng Nin will take part In the 800 yard final, for immedi- ately afterwards comes the 200 yards free-style relay, and his pre- sense and efforts will mean much to Chung Sing.

If the younger Omar can "Dick" Alven on the majority of the heads, then the Indians pros- peels are indeed roxy; but if he falls to do that, even the match- winning potentialities of U, M. may not be sufficient to turn the scales. Since its inception in 1934, no pair
