Very little rain has fallen of late, but a good downpour of rain would be more welcome than these dull, leaden days. Bowling.—The bowlers finished up their season with a very enjoyable social, held last Tuesday in the Oddfellows' Hall. The hall was filled with the bowlers and their friends. The principal guests of the evening were with _ workers of the local Red Cross, -who quite appreciated the honour done to them. During the evening the prizes won by the bowlers ab tho various competitions throughout the season were presented by the president of tho Cromwell Bowling Club (Mr Gregor M'Dpnald). On .{Saturday the bowlers were again in force on their beloved green, this time, however, not to play, but to lovingly arid carefully robe it in its winter garment. Tho green was top-dressed, and, given a fair chance, Should be in good condition for next season's play.
