TE AWAMUTU CLUB. 1 [from our own correspondent.] Tho annual meeting of tho Bowling Club j took place in tho Library Buildings on Mon- : day evening last. There was a very good attendance of members. Tho annual report stated that the new greens on Victoria Park recently made by the Puniu Domain Board wore better than was expected, the testing of them proving most satisfactory. The year closed with a credit balance of £37. Special reference was made to the commendable action of the Domain Board in having provided Te'Awamutu with a sports ground second to none in the Waikato, containing as it does two bowling greens, croquet lawn, six tennis courts, and a good running track.
