On Wednesday afternoon several games of bowls were played on the Foxton green. The principal games of interest were between the two rinks selected to represent the local club in the triangular contest at Shannon on Wednesday next. Two games were played, one of 21 heads and another of 15 heads, which resulted in Thomson’s rink gaining a margin of three points over Nye’s rink, and the second game ended in even scoring. /k committee meeting of the Foxton Croquet Club was held on the green yesterday afternoon, presided over by Mrs. R. Bryant (president). Also present were Mesdames M. E. Perreau, Moore, McMurray, Downes, Barr, and the secretary (Mrs. R. Owen). It was decided that first, second, and points prizes be given for the handicap singles match in both A and B grades in connection with the Wednesday tournaments.
