Miss Aloore. The meeting was in every way a most successful one, and visitors were loud in their praises ( of all the arrangements, including the . dainty luncheon and teas provided daily by tlie Church of England ladies. The meeting concluded with a Golf Ball which a capable ladies’ committee, ! with Airs Cagney as head made an outstanding success and where the various trophies won during the meeting were presented by the Club Captain, Air J. C. Alacfarlane. During the year a Gift Afternoon was held atul a one club match played for a ball given by Airs Wilson. This was won by Airs Garnet Perry. At the conclusion of the match the gifts were opened by the ladies’ captain, Airs AYilson, and proved to be many useful adjuncts to our Club House. The afternoon was both pleasureable and profitable and many wishes.were expressed that it might he repeated. The prize list appended herewith shows lhe winners of the various events. Unfortunately there was no senior championship event, players not being sufficiently interested to enter for same and your committee fool some steps must he taken to obviate such a position arising again. Our thanks are due to the various donors of trophies:—Alesdamos AVilson, Brodie, Tomlinson and Afiss Aloore. also a most generous anonymous friend.
