PETONE AND HUTT ITEMS.

The Petone Bowling Club, owing to its large membership, is desirous of securing an extension of its green, and to this end Mr. 11. Findlay will move at the annual general mooting — "That stops be taken with a view of acquiring an area of 140 ft x 160 ft of additional land, owned by the Buick Estate, and adjoining the" present green, for the purpose of extending our premises by an additional green." > Mr. T. Fitzgerald, of the clerical staff of the Petone railway workshops, who is under notice of transfer to Auckland, was laet night tho recipient of two presentations. At the Empire Hotel, on behalf of a gathering of members of tho Association Football Club, Mr. D. P. Jones, (secretary) presented Mr. Fitzgerald with a pipe and tobacco pouch. Afterwards, at tho Catholic Club's rooms, he received a handsome travelling-bag, suitably inscribed. Mr. Fitzgerald, who was tecretary of the club, is succeeded by Mr. \V. Joyce. At the Petone Police Court this morning, before Mr. J. W. M'Ewan, J.P., a woman named Sarah Jameson wus deemed to be an habitual drunkard. The accused has no less than twenty-four previous convictions recorded against her. A meeting of tho Hutt River Hoard, convened for last ovening, lapsed, as is often the case, for the want of a quorum. In all probability a meeting of Korokoro Ratepayers' Association will bo held next week for the purpose of considering tho question of securing a public hall. To about sixty Petono Association football enthusiasts, Mr. W. Woods, of Wollingtofi, last ox-oning, in tho Municipal Buildings, gave an interesting lecturo on the rules of the game. The lecturer, who was heartily \hankeld for bis address, received a pressing invitation to give another lecture at some futuio date.
