tVELL-ATTENDED ANNUAL MEETING The 'annual meeting of the Levin Croquet Club was held recently, when there was a good attendance of members. The president, Mrs. W.

In the course of her remarks, the president said -that motor power had been put on the lawn mower, and that a new roller had been purchased. The roller had been paid for in the one season.

This year we succeeded in winning the Sherwood Cup, although only by a very narrow margin, the scores being Levin 146, Manakau 143, Foxton 124 and Otaki 102. "A highlight* of the season was a visit in March from Messrs. H. F.ord and A. Heenan, from Wellington. Both gentlemen were enthusiastic in their praise of our jawps." In conclusion, Mrs.. Bull thanked all who had helped during the year, especially those who had assisted to top-dress the lawns and mark them out, the greenkeeper (Mr. Scptt) , the auditor (Mr. F. Nichoison) an,d all members who ha,d help.ed with bridge parties and donations.
