BOWLING.

FINAL OF TRIANGULAR SHIELD CONTEST. At Shannon yesterday afternoon the final round of the TriContest was held, when two rinks each from Levin and Foxton met four rinks representing the home club. A stiff wind made play somewhat uncertain, and to some extent marred what would otherwise have been a very pleasant afternoon. Levin were successful in compiling the highest /” aggregate points for the three rounds, the totals being as follows :

Levin, 215 points; Shannon, 145; Foxton, 131. At the conclusion of play Mr. Clayton, on behalf of Shannon Club (last season’s winners) presented the Shield to the Levin representatives, and in doing so congratulated them on their success.

Mr. Bull, on behalf of the Levin bowlers, acknowledged the congratulations, and pointed out that Levin had not only created a record within memory by winning all their games, but had also compiled the greatest number of points yet secured during the history of the Triangular contest. He called for three cheers for the Shannon and Foxton clubs, which were lustily given.

Mr. Huntley extended congratulations on behalf of , the Foxton Club.
