bowling on the green

Curling, a peculiar sport that had its beginnings in Scotland around 1500, is a winter version of the English game of bowling on the green.

I do not play either Bowling on the Green or Bowling.

While on the subject of this article, I cannot help but remark that it would have been much more interesting if the really important feature of the game of Bowling on the Green had been mentioned.

The de Young Memorial Museum, the Academy of Sciences, the Steinhart Aquarium, Stow Lake, the Dutch windmills, Huntington Falls, the aviary, the buffalo paddock, the bear pit, the children's playground with its goats and donkeys, the tennis courts, the harness racing in the Stadium, the bowling on the green—almost every rod of the thousand odd acres in the park unfolds unexpected allurements.
