FIRST CLUB.
WELLINGTON LADY BOWLERS.
Auckland's lady bowlers will be interested to hear that the first ladies' bowling club in Wellington was opened recently. But several months' hard work was needed to remove the opposition placed in their way by the men members of the various bowling clubs. Eventually, permission was given by the Island Bay Club for the women to form a club and use their small green of three links on two days of each week. There are already 20 playing members, and about 50 "women, including several from the women's clu'b at Paraparaumu, were present at the opening. Several of the experienced visitors played in each rirft to assist in the introduction of novices to the game.
