SHANNON BOWLING CLUB.

HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL BALL. GREEN TENURE DISCUSSED. A meeting of members of the Shannon Bowling Green and their wives was held on Thursday evening. The boisterous weather prevented several from attending. The Balt balance-sheet was read and adopted. As a result of the ball, the club made a net profit of £2.7, which was considered exceptionally good. The door receipts amounted to £sl, which is a record taking for any social function held in Shannon. The ladies worked assiduously to make the ball ya success, and judging by the results their efforts were not in vain. A hearty vote of thanks to the ladies and others who lent their aid was carried by acclamation. The question of having a social and dance towards the end of the waiter was discussed, and it is probable that something of the sort will take place later on. A general meeting of members was afterwards held. The president, Mr J. W. Murray, presided over a good attendance. ' The principal object, of the meeting was to discuss the club’s standing as regards its greens.
