BOWLING

[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.

Go the honor boards of pavilions will be seen in days to come many names de..-'ini:?cl with initials showing distinguished service on the field. Those that have come to my notice would almost fid this column, and another has to be addo-..' in the person of Staff-sergeant "Con" Cameron, sou of Mr J. C. Cameron, an old member of Dunedin Club.

" : Con " Cameron was well known on the soccer football field before he went to the front over two years ago, and his friends will be pleased to know that gallant conduct has gained for him the medal for meritorious service.

He also handed over a gold-mounted fountain pen as a memento of the esteem in which the departing member was held. A musical programme w;ia gone through, Mr A. l'a.cey acting as accompanist. The evening was spent very pleasantly, Mr J. M'Reak (secretary) and others looking carefully after the wants of all present. The bowlers of New South Wales have subscribed between £29,000 and £30,000 to the war funds.
