PENNANT FLAG PRESENTATION.

A large gathering of bowlers took place on Saturday on the Newmarket Green, when the presentation of the pennant flag and championship shield to tUe Newmarket Club, as the winners in the late pennant competitions, under the auspices of the Auckland "Bowling Association, took place.

Mr Wright (president of the Newmarket Club) then hoisted the championship flag amidst cheers. Mr Gorrie also presented the championship shield to the club, and the name of the club had been engraved on It as winners for the year.
