ONEHUNGA CROQUET CLUB CHAMPION FLAG UNFURLED In recognition of the achievement , of the Onehunga Croquet Club in winning the Auckland championship nine years in succession, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Buchanan have presented the ! club with a memorial flag, and Mr. Stephen Westney, a veteran Onehunga bowler, has donated the flagstaff. The ceremony of unfurling the flag took place yesterday afternoon. in the presence of a large number of croquet players and bowlers. Mrs. C. J. Schnauer. president of the croquet club, suitably acknowledged the gifts, and thanked Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan and Mr. Westney for their generosity. Mrs. Buchanan, who is a life member of the club, said that the champion team, having beaten every other club in Auckland for the ninth successive year, was entitled to the admiration of every lover of the game. She then unfurled the flag, which, fluttering in a soft breeze, displayed on a blue background the superscription in golden letters “A.C.A.. Inter-club Champions, Onehunga. 1921-1929.” The new flagstaff is placed near the entrance to the croquet and bowling greens in Selwyn Street. Onehunga. and when the new flag, together with the nine smaller pennants, are flown on special occasoins. they should attract considerable attention.
