C., the remainder ot the party. about 28 others, were from various points in Ontario. John thinks the world is a good old place, tor they were royally entertained in all countries visited. "The people of New Zealand are the iinetst I've ever met and this is the opinion ot 100 per cent of the boys." he remarked. The Canadian Bowlers had a. spec- ial pin engraved to commemorate their visit. which they distributed a- mong bowlers at meets in New Zea.- land and Australia and in return re ceived souvenir pins trom each Bow. ling Association visited. John has a collection ot 45 buttons and pins dis- played, a memento of the various pia- ces where friendly meets were stag- ed. The New Zealanders are a sport- loving race and every little town has its bowling greens and tennis courts. The party left Toronto on Dec. 6th last and sailed from Vancouver on s.8. "Aotantri". They reached Auck- land, New Zealand, on Dec. 29th and proceeded next day by train to Wham garel, the furthest north city or the Dominion. where they played their tirat game on the last day of the old year. In all they spent tive weeks in New Zealand and three in Australia and played 39 games on their tour. Returning to Auckland they spent tive days, thence went to Hamilton and Rotorua.
