WELLINGTON CENTRE'S ANNUAL KEPOKT. Tho annual report' of the Wellington "Bowling Ccntro states that the number of •affiliated olubs is 18. with a membership of 1210. • Fifteen clubs entered for tho Senior Pennant- competition tliis. season, and were divided into two sections. Kelburn and Wellington slaved oil for "A" section, tho former club' winning. Newtown won (ho "E" section and defeated Kelburn in the final, making its fifth consecutive win. The Junior Pennant competition was won by the Lyall Bay Juniors. ■ Edwin Feathers, Hill Pins, and Junior Stars.—Tho Lirusent holders of thesu tronhies are:—Edwin Feathers,'Thorndoii; Hill Pins, Wellington; Junior Stars Lvall liay. Ffforfs wnra made to visit the Manawatu and Wairarapa Centres with a representative centre team, but unfortunately they failed -through lack of sufficient support. Tho executive suggests that such visits are worthy of more consideration, and as the Nolson and Marlborough (Inntre has invited this contro to return its visit, of 1317-16, it is honed that a. strong representative team will be sot together to visit Blenheim and Nelson early in tho nest season. The balance-sheet shows that as far as last season was concerned the centre just paid its own way after meeting its obligations. At tho beginning of the year there was a credit balance at the bank of £45 lis. 2d..' and the balifnce now at tho bank was £45 13s. 5d., a net gain of 2s. 3d. ' NEXT DOMINION TOURNAMENT IN WELLINGTON. The Wellington Bowling Centre's annual report says:—'"The next Dominion Association tournament will bo held in Wellington. presumably in the early part of January. Your exccuflivc therefore hopes that, all clubs will make the utmost effort to havo then; greons in as satisfactory a condition as is possible. It is anticipated that tho entries received will establish a new record for tho Dominion, and us the success of a tournament dopends in tho main on tho good playing of tho greens need, your executive trusts that the usual complaints of players concerning the playing of greens will bo much fewor than is customary.
