NOTES BY JACK. At a meeting, held on Monday, of the Kaikuna Bowliog Club it was unanimously resolved that honorary members be admitted at half the ordinary subscription — viz., one guinea. This course was adopted on the strong recommendation of members of other bowling clubs and friends in the neighbourhood, who, recognising the beauty and perfection of the grounds, are desirous of having an occasional friendly game at bowls. A number of new members were admitted. Members and visiting bowlsrs may now enjoy the privilege of a game in the afternoons as well as in the evenings. Roslyn v. St. Clur.
