LEVIN RETAINS THE FEATHERS. '

Says the Levin Chronicle: — Shannon, in addition to its challenging team for the Kinneburgh Feathers, sent three other rinks to test the bowling strength of the Levin Club on Saturday, and to complete a fraternal gathering, three rinks arriving from the Manawatu Club, resulting in an afternoon of very interesting play. The challenge match between Levin and Shannon was very even up to the 12th head, showing Levin (14) a point ahead of Shannon (13). The home team won the next three heads, bringing the score up to 20. At the 19th head Shannon were lying three, but Clements drove, carrying the kitty to within a foot of the ditch, leaving Levin three up. Spencer then drew the shot with his first ball, but Suhan played-a firm shot which carried the kitty into the ditch making Levin two up, Spencer’s second hall being also firm but a foot short. Levin, who remain holders of the Feathers, won from their visitors by a margin of 9 to spare, the final scores being Levin, 26, Shannon 17. Of the remaining six games played, Shannon won two, Manawatu one, and Levin three. In face of repeated efforts of outside clubs to wrest the Feathers from Levin, the latter still retain the coveted trophy. Foxton Club are duo on Wednesday to see if they have any better claim than Levin to the Feathers, which for some time have found a resting place with the Levin Bowling Club. It was understood that Feilding Club, in consequence of an invitation from Foxton, was to pay a visit to-morrow, but last evening word was received from Feilding that the visit would have to (bo postponed.- According to the above paragraph, Foxton bowlers will visit Levin to-morrow to try conclusions for the Kinneburgh Feathers.
