j VOGELTOWN CLUB. | ANNUAL MEETING. i The annual meeting of the Vogeltown I Bowling OJu!> was hold on Saturday j night, Mr. H. Benton presiding over a i good attendance of members. j ANNUAL REPORT. | Tho annual report stated that the i past season had been a highly satisfactory one from a playing point ot 1 view, a marked improvement being manifested in the individual play of tho : monikers. The green had been in xplcnj did condition through tho .season. Tho club had participated in the Banner and Giimour Cup competitions, and whilst j it could not claim to have been very ! successful in its matches with other I clubs, it hud nevertheless made a good showing under the circumstances, in j which it was placed owing to its small I membership. It was hoped that next I season would seo a still further improveI meat in the standard of play of mem- | bers. Tho club was most fortunate in having presented to it lor competition ! a set of silver bowls, known as tne Doh- | ton Bowls, and donated by Air. C. Dobso i, and two handsome gold medals ! by Mr. W. Hook I'.:; in for a pairs com--1 petition. The* grateful thanks of the i club were extended to the donors. Tno 1 competitions had been productive ot ! fiomc very closely contested glares and i had aroused a great deal of interest and 1 friendly rivalry. The Pioneer Chal- ! lengc Cup was won by Mr. Jas. David- ! son, Air. Geo. Tipping, being runner-up j after a very close contest. Tho finances of the club were assisted considerably as a result of these competitions. The. ! thanks of the outgoing officers were ex- ! tended to members generally for their i loyal and hearty co-operation and the 1 hope was expressed that next season | would see a substantial increase in mem--1 borship, and that as a result the club i would bo placed on a sound footing financially. The balance shoot showed that thanks to the generosity of several members of the club who hud made ca-ith donations and a handsome donation of £5 from I a donor who desired to remain anonymous, the receipts were just sufficient to meet outgoings. During tho discussion which ensued general satisfaction was expressed at i the progress that had been made by tho club, but the point was stressed thatif that success which all desired was to bo achieved, ways and moans must bo found to increase the icveriue.

“What muddle superfluous preparation makes.” —Stanus. Certainly be prepared, for wise preparation means also the battle half won; but superfluous preparation is ill-advised. Always bo prepared during winter time, which to the unprepared is chronic cough and cold time. Baxter’s Lung Preserver is ample preparation, for this sterling remedy is a sure, safe and prompt remedy. It nips the trouble in the bud and fortifies against the return visit. The home that knows “Baxter’s” is cough and cold proof. . Got largo bottle of this 54-year-old specific to-day. 2s 6d at chemist and store.
