Arrangements are to be made to have bowls tested, it being pointed out that untested bowls could not be used in competitions cr tournaments. Mr. Eaton is to be asked to make an inspection of bowls. A letter was read from Mrs, Manttan, asking that two rinks be placed at the disposal of lady bowlers. — Members, while sympathetic, decided that the request could not be acceded to, es'pecially as the playing area of the green was already taxed. It was deemed advisable to „ suggest to the ladies that an effort be made to secure a green of their own, it being pointed out that perhaps sufficient playing area could be secured on the croquet lawn at the domain. It was agreed to give the ladies any assistance possible. A suggestion that the matter be placed before a fuil meeting of the club did not meet with the approval of the committee. Members stood in silence out of respect of Messrs. Hamilton, Ilealy and Pullman, members who liad recently passed away.
