Wellington Club's big win over tho representatives of tho combined clubs of the city and suburbs discloses something; in the nature of a remarkable record. This fixturo has now been played for nine years; and not once has Wellington been defeated. The mother club had a very close call three years ago, when a one-point win was reoorded, and on another oecasion there were only three, points between the sides, but the maroon colours have never yet been lowered by the allies,'and on Saturdayanother win was achieved beneath the fluttering folds of the Northern Bowling Association's champion banner. The Tecord for the past nine years is worth recording. It runs as follows:—, Wellington. Combined. . 1905 275 ' 215 • 1906 260 : ' ..
