POVERTY BAY CLUB Both of the greens at the Poverty Bay Bowling Club were necessary last Saturday to accommodate the big field of bowlers, and although rain interfered with play late in the afternoon, there was not sufficient to damp tho enthusiasm of the crowd. The greens played much more truly than has been the case recently, and are now responding to the generous treatment given them. In the Pennants’ competition Poverty Bay had three wins, Kahutia two, and Gisborne none. • Play resulted as follow's : Pennant Games — Poverty Bay: T. Hall, Leech, Smith, Falconer (s) 14, v.
