TE AWAMUTU CLUB. LAST SATURDAY’S RESULTS. Rain interfered somewhat- with bowls at the Victoria Park green last Saturday afternoon, but a Howden Shield elimination game, a handicap pairs match and several club draw games were played. Results:— It was intended to find the winner? for the southern section of the Howden Shield competition, the best rinks from Ohaupo, Te Awamutu, Otoro, hanga and Te Kuiti meeting, but owing to some misunderstanding Otorohanga and Te Kuiti teams did not attend. Te Awamutu (T. Finch, C. Davis, W. J. North and W. Douglas, skip) defeated Ohaupo (C. K. Edwards, J. Nicholls, G. H. Silvester and A. Emett, skip) by 29 points to 11. - Douglas got four on the first head, following with a three, two and one, thus being ten on the board before Ohaupo scored. Later Douglas got a five, and a few heads later he also got a seven, putting the result beyond doubt. In a handicap pairs match, R. Greenough and R. Free defeated H. W. Wyllie and E. Harvey, 24—12. Club draw games (about 15 heads played) resulted:— J. Donaldson, E. Harvey and S. S. Preston 19 v. A. Rennie, A. S. Wai-’ lace and H. Worthington 25. ■ V. L. Gittos, S. Clark and D. McArthur 15 v. G.
