[By Mkastbeb.] Tho Anderson rW Bowling and Croquet Hub. Ltd.. have accepted the .tender of 3?r 11. G. Wallace for the erection ot the ground floor of their new pavilion. lnw nev.lv-forn-.ed club decided to have plans prepared for a comprehensive building scheme at the outset, and not follow the umal method of erecting a make-shitt' cottage tvpe of structure, which has invariably 'proved to b* poor economy in the long run. The designs show an imporins Clubhouse two stories m height. On the f-oiind there are the bowl room 34ft x 18ft. caretaker's rooin 9ft 6m x sit ample toiYi accommodation for both sexes', 'and"'a very tbie loggia 45ft long x 10ft wide. On i'he upper floor there will be. whrni ei- ' -d. ;v tea or general club v ir'ira ?lft v !C:'t. a kitchenette lift x 9ft 6in. a 1 "bo-' dressing room, and an open l-'.'H.i -!s'"t x Fft. This lorgia commands anVxe-*Uent view ot the bowling green and .-u'-r:armings, and is of ample size to nceommod'te a br;,v number of spectators, as well (is providing space for serving tea. The club propose opening the n-ion toward- the end of October, when it is honed to have the bowl room and adjuncts reidv f"r ocr-up-dion. The plans v.ve nivr-'-od by Mr Fdmund Ansrombe, and when the bmldinr; is complete, it is claimed, it- will he the most up-to-d/'to bowliiu p'tvilifu in or around Dunf.lin.
