Feilding Bowling Club.
A meeting of gentlemen interested in the promotion of a Bowling Club in Feilding was held at Messrs Halcombe and Son's office last evening, to receive the report of the Committee appointed to select a section of land suitable for a bowling green. Present — Messrs W. A. L Bailey (in the chair), H. Axup, J. McLarin, W. Light, E. Mills, B. Gosling, H. W. Davy, J. H. Stevens. Mr Bailey, on bet ah 0 of the subCommittee, reported that a suitable site containing one acre, opposite the racecourse, was under offer for £25 from the Colonists' Land and Loan Corporation. Messrs P. Thomson and J. McLaren were appointed a Committee to canvass for members and report at a meeting to be held on Thursday next. Resolved, That the annual subscription be one guinea, and that no entrance fee be charged to the first fifty members.
