In order to meet this liability it was agreed to hold a carniml, opening on June 30 The work in connection with the carnival is now in~ full swing. Thecommittee suggests that if the carnival proves to be the financial success anticipated after paying off the mortgage, steps should be taKen immediately to consider advisability of putting up a new pavilion before the opening of the incoming season.

These contests were keen and well contested and some very fine exhibitions of bowling' were given. The club ie to be congratulated on its success in this competition, and although not successful in securing first honours, it was runner-up in its section, only being beaten by the Taieri Club, which eventually secured the coveted prize. In the interclub matches the club wa3 not quite so successful, its record beingmatches played, 13; won, 8; lost, 5.
