Fisher; champion pairs, Messrs. T. J. Thompson and E. W. Wise (s); champion rinks. Messrs. F. J. Eoekfctroiv, .T. J. Thompson, E. W. Wise, and J. R. Cook (s); Wilfovd Cup, Messrs. C. L: Bishop and E. W. Wise (s); percentage fours, Messrs. J.Lenihan (lead), P. Levi (scorer), T. W. Pilcher (measurer), and J. R. Cook (skip). The club's property is in first-class condition. The" green, which was- playing iwell in the early pah; of the season, [deteriorated badly before 'the close, but now has been thoroughly treated to eradicate weeds, well scarified, and resown. This should give a good playing surface for the coming season. The opening day might have to be delayed so as to ensure the green being in first-class condition before being played on.
