The annual meeting of the Dunedin Bowling Centre shows that the finances of the centre are in a satisfactory condition. Owing chiefly to the extra exiienditure incurred in entertaining visiting bowlers, the executive was apprehensive that the expenditure would exceed the revenue. This would probably have been the case but for the decision- a wise one under the circumstances—to play both rinks and pairs at the Easter tournament instead of pairs only as had previously been decided. Tbe tournament gave the executive the funds necessary to end t.he year with a credit instead of a debit balance. The income for the year, £421 Os Id, plus the cash in the bank on July 1. 1822. £62 16s, comes to £483 16s Id, while the expenditure totalled £413 16s 2d, leaving an amount of £69 19s lid to begin the new year with. A meeting of outgoing club delegates to the Dunedin Bowling Centre was held towards the close of last month. Mr W. Jacobsen in the chair. Messrs J. 11. Hancock, J. J. Marlow, and 11. F. M.
