To the Editor of the "Norta-Cama Dairy News."
Sirn,—Now that this game is well established in Shanghai having a Lawn Bowls Association controlling several club competitions, ete., is it not advisable that a standard minimum bias should be adopted and enforced Some of the bowls in use in Shanghai appear to ba not more than No. 2 Bias or even less.
"Taylor's'"' book on bowls, giving rules of the game, etc., says that the Imperial, the Scottish, the Northumberland and Durham and the Australian Associations do not allow a bowl to be used with Jess than No. 3 Bias.
The following are rules taken from Taylor's book (1) No bowl shall exceed 164 inches in circumference, nor 3} Ib. in weight, nor have a less bias than the standard bowl adopted by the Association.
(2) Any bow] to which objection is taken shall be by comparison with a standard bowl of the Association, bearing the Association stamps. Any objection must be taken at the start, or not later than, the start, or not later than. the sixth end of the games.
