Several toasts were proposod and duly honoured. Mr Glover (chairman of tho oentre), Mr Munn (of Caulfield, Melbourne), and Mr Kennedy (of Oamaru) replied for tho visitors. A pleasing feature was tho toast to one of tho members (Mr Gordon Scott), who has been aooopted for active service. Mr Cordon Scott is tho youngest son of Mr D. Scott, founder of the club. A point worthy of more than passing notice was made by Mr Todd, who said that, in Scotland, the third player in a rink remains with his skip until the lead and second have delivered their bowls. Ho has then a better opportunity of watching the forming of the head himself than ho has in his present position.
