BOWLERS’ SOCIAL.

Twenty-first Anniversary Celebrated. In order to observe the twenty-first anniversary of the Sumner Bowling Club a well-attended social evening •was held last night in the Sumner Masonic Hall. Members and their wives, together with many ex-members and their friends, were welcomed by the president (Mr T. Newburgh). The earlier part of the evening was spent in playing bridge and five hundred. The bridge was directed by Mr C. N. Forrest and Mr J. A. Clarke was in charge of the five hundred. The special anniversary cake, depicting two bowlers enjoying themselves under obviously favourable conditions, was much admired.
