BOWLING AND CROQUET CLUB.

LADIES' COMPETITIONS.

PRESENTATION OF PRIZES

The presentation of trophies in connection with the Te Kuiti Croquet Club competitions was mada on Saturday last at the club's green. There was a good attendance, the afternoon being exceptionally fine. Mr J. F. Wal9h made the presentations and in a few well chosen words congratulated the winners on their sucesses. Following are the successful players: Championship—Mrs Cayl«y Alexander. Handicap Singles A.—Mrs Power 1, Mrs A. B. Jordan 2. Beginner's p r j Z6 -_Mrs Reid. The trophy for the last mentioned event was prelented by Mrs Lissaman, while the remaining trophies were donated by Messrs C. Stevens and J. Mclndoe, to whom the club members are deeply indebted. BOWLS. The Te Kuiti representatives at the Auckland Exhibition Tournament must be accounted unlucky inasmuch as Power, the skip, on the second and third days was suffering from an attack of illness, and was unable to do himself justice. Had the skip been in his usuml form on the third day the team should have v>o-\ the section and had a good chance in the finals. Cochrane had intended going to Auckland on the Wednesday, but seeing that the team was doing so well he decided to remain at home. It is the opinion of the players that had Cochrane been available to take Power's place on the third day tie team would probably have come through he section play without a loss. The next bowling fixtures to claim attention are the Auckland Easter Tournament and the Cambridge Tour nament which also takes place at Easter. At Auckland the Champicn Pairs and the First year players' competitions are the chief events, while the Cambridge tournament is a full rink competition and pairs. Power and Dransfield, who have competed together in the last three Auckland pairs? championships, will probably take part in this year'B competitions, while one or two others are also talking of entering the lists. In respect to the first-year players, there is ample material in the Te Kuiti Club to place a very creditable team in the field, but there is still doubt as to whether the best of the players can get away. It is to be honed the necessary arrangements can be made as the experience gained by the younger players at a tournament is invaluable and ci«*s them extra confidence when th--v come to be araded among the old- A r players the following year. There is some talk of a team being got together to take part in the Cambridge rink tournament, and a fairly strong combination could be got together to put in the holiday at the picturesque Waikato town.
