ISLAND BAY CLUB. The annual report of the Island Buy Bowling Club states that the member ship roll is 76 ordinary members, 27 honorary members, and one country member.

The bringing into play of tho additional green, together with the improvements effected in the greens generally, provided both increased playing accommodation and better conditions. Through the generosity of soms members top-dressiug has been carried out with soil from Karori, and prospects for a really good green for next season were most . promising.
