BOWLING.
The Napier Bowling Club opened its season on Saturday, a number of members of the Bluff Hill and Hastings Clubs being among the visitors. The president, Mr E. Evans, performed the opening ceremony, delivering a speech in which he welcomed the representatives of the other clubs. He thanked the ladies for providing afternoon tea, making special reference to the services of Misses Newman and Faulknor in superintending. ‘ The croquet ground, he said, would be ready for play in a few week’s time, and a tea pavilion would be erected for the use of the ladies. After expressing regret at the absence, through illness, of Mr T. A. Shirley, the president concluped by declaring the green open for the season. The opening game was a seven rink one between sides chosen by Mr Evans and the president of the Bluff Hill Club (Mr J. Hindmarsh, jun.), and resulted in a win for the latter by 158 to 146. Afternoon tea was provided by Mrs Evans.
