A NELSON CENTENARIAN.
NELSON, this day. > Mrs Nixon, mother-in-law of Mr Henry Edwards, well known for his long connection with Sclanders and Co. (now Levin and Co.), attained her hundredth year to-day. She is still hale, with all her faculties practically unimpaired. She has lived through five reigns, and remembers seeing soldiers passing through English villages in 1815, on the eve of Waterloo. She has numerous grand and great grandchildren. BOWLINU CHAMPIONSHIP. WELLINGTON, this day.
A contest for the bowling championship of the colony between Gisborne (winners of the North Island Championship) and Newtown ("winners of the SoulJh Island Championship) is being played to-day on the Wellington Club's green. Gieborne won the first of three matched by 24 to 15. The result ■was largely due to the fine generalship and play of Mr Ponsfori, the Gisborne skip.
