A | few hundred years ago when Britain was producing innumerable world. figures in statesmanship and military and naval ¢ircles, an Englishman and his game of bowls were inseparable, His love for the sport is perhaps ex- emplified in that historic retort of Sir Francis Drake, the great old sea cap- tain. He was-'engaged in a game of bowls on Plymouth Hoe at ten o'clock in the morning of 19th July, 15688, with Lord Howard of Effingham and John Hawkins, wher a messanger ap- peared with word of the approach of the 'Spanish. Armada. Said Drake: There is plenty of time to win this game and to thrash the Spaniards too." The game, which apparently origin- ated in the Middle Ages was early known in England as "bowles" and in France as "boulis" or "carreau'. The first balls werd of stone and were half spherical, half oval, to secure the curve in the throw. A "cone" at T either end of the green was the mark. Although the "running shot" was not known, the art of knocking the op- ponent's bowl away from the cone was an early practice, In time the cone was replaced by the "jack", a stone or an earthen hall, about 3% inches in diameter and the stone bowls by lig- num-vitae weighted with lead. During the reigns of Queen Anne and the first three Georges and; in fact, from the sixteenth century to the beginning of the eighteenth, bowl- ing was in great favour with the clergy, nobility and well-to-do classes. E. 'T. Ayers-spéaks of queens and princesses watching the game, or even playing. The King of Hungary, in an 'old poem, The Squyer of Low De- gree, promises that to amuse his daughter "An hundred knightes, truly tolde, Shall play with bowles in alayes colde." Shakespeare makes several 'réfer- ences to the 'game, including ome 'in Richard II: "Queen: What sport shall we devise here in this garden To drive away the heavy thought of care? - Lady: Madam, we'll play at bowls, Queen: 'Twill make me think the world is full of rubs And that my fortune runs against the bias." | hibited, bowling".

'Bowling was introduced into Ameri- ceriiifthe latter part of the seventeenth century. © A map-of New York City dated 1728 shows a bowling-green. The district in New York today known as "Bowling Green" was leased for that purpose in 1782. It was not un- til the 15th céntufy 'thdt the game was taken up in Canada.
