THAMES, this day,

There -was a large attendance at the Thames greens on Saturday, increased interest being occasioned by the full rink contest between Te Aroha and Thames for the Howden Shield and champion of champions in the South Auckland Centre, and also the pairs competition for the Duncan Fraser gold stars between Paeroa and Thames. In the former match Te Aroha was successful, a result which makes Te Aroha and Waikino equal in the goldfields area. In the pairs match Paeroa -were the winners and Messrs. Holes and Chamberlain returned home with the coveted trophies. Griffin took Delamores place with H. Coriles, Delamore being indisposed. The Thames pair were successful in the two previous challenges from Te Aroha and Waihi. In the weekly contest for the club's memorial badges the holders (Holman, Chilton.
