BOWLS.

OPAWA CLUB. j At the annual meeting of the Opawa Bowling Club Mr C. J. Goldstone presided over an attendance of about 50 members. The president reported a very successful season. The club had won the Watson Shield, and its teams had been successful in minor tournaments, winning no fewer than eight of these events. It was decided to instruct the delegate to support Mr Finnegan's proposal to play pennant matches on alternate Saturdays. The Christchurch Ladies' Bowling Centre wrote suggesting that a ladies' section be formed. It was decided to inform the applicants that the club's playing area is insufficient to entertain the suggestion. The green superintendent reported that the green was in exceptionally good condition as a result of recommendations made by Mr M. J. Barnett, superintendent of public reserves. The croquet section reported a good season, although the membership had declined. There were 30 keen and promising players. Officers were elected as follows: — President, Mr F. C. Robbins; vicepresidents, Messrs A. F. Rollinson and W. T. Tregurtha; treasurer, Mr A. E. Talbot; secretary, Mr W. T. Tregurtha; general committee, Messrs H. M. Hunter, A. J. Wickes, M. C.
