WANGANUI EAST CLUB Last Saturday many members being away practice games only were ployed, after which some of the club pairs and singles were got off. During the afternoon the vice-presi-dent Mr A. W. Jones called players together and made feeling reference to the death of Mr Stephen Green which took place at his late residence, Young Street, Wanganui East, last week. Mr Green had been a member since the formation of the club and took great interest in bowling. Owing to failing health he was not able to take any active part during the last two months. A vote of sympathy to his widow and family was passed. As a mark of respect to the deceased play was suspended for ten minutes. PRACTICE GAMES. Hedges, Quin, Rush, Jones (sk.) 15 v.

The “London Ferns” which have been so successfully held by Scrivener and his team for some time past were on Saturday last taken from them, Many attempts have been made to wrest them, but “Ted” has resisted all attacks. Saturday, however, saw a turn of the tide, when McCarthy gained a victory. Following is the score: J H. Stewart, Wilson, Holdaway, Seri- V vencr (sk.) 13 v.
