He referral in feeling terms -to tbo loss tho club had sustainod in tho deaths of Mr .1. Blaney and Mr J. Wrddersnoon. The ciub had como out very well in iniercliib jiiatches, and, bo far 83 tho green was concerned, he thought ho could say, without fear of contradiction, that it was second to none in the South Inland. The members were indebted to Mr Hocking (careia!:er) for the enro ho lud bestowed on the green, awl Mt A. A. Brown (secretary) l>n<l proved himself a pniiu'takiiig iind up-to-date official. In speaking of tiio meiiiborship, Jlr .(irccnelado saiil ho hoped the incoming season would a large influx and a continuance of tho eni.-ausia.siii which had been a predominant fcßtnro during the. present season. Il was the intention of Ihc committee to inaugurate a> eorios of winter evenings. In conclusion, Mr G2&cnshde called on tiio company to dtiuk toe "Prosperity of tho Caledonian Bowling Ciub." Mt Brown' thanked Mr Grcenslade and tho members for the kindly manner in which they had tTcattd him. Ho had only done what h-3 could in tho interests of his club, and the flattering remarks made concerning his work ■woTo complete recompense for liis efforts. Speaking of tho firmncial position ol the club, Mr Brown said that so long as Iho green continued to bo one of tho te?t there wan no fear but that the financial position ■would remain found.' Although some of the members imagined that financially their position was nono too strong, he thought he could easily disabuse their minds .on Hint score. They had a firet-chss green, a fine, pavilion, piano, furniture, etc., and there was not one eHlling owing oh them. Mr C. E. iteast, being called on, raid he would always do what lie could to advance the gnnio. VYhilo on his feet, ho would ask the- club to Eericusly consider tho motion shortly to comn lrafore the association—viz., change, o! tl:o date of the tournament. Ho did not think Uio change advisable, looking at it- from either n wholesale, retail, or manuiacturing point of view.
