♦ The annual meeting of the Karori Bowling Club was held in the pavilion last evening, there being an attendance of some thirty members. Mr. B. G. H. Burn (president) was in the chair. The President, in moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, said the overdraft had been considerably reduced, and to Mi\ T. W. Lewer principally the thanks of the club were due.
