Entries for the 0. M. Curtis Trophy, handicap bowls, and beginners’ match close on Thursday. -At. a committee meeting of the Stratford Bowling Club last night, it was decided to ask the Waitara Club to play the Banner match fixed for the 19th inst., at Inglewood, instead of at Waitara. The reason for this is that the fixture is too close to Christmas, and many bowlers could not afford the whole day, which would be thp case if the match was played at Waitara. This would also depend on Inglewood agreeing. The Waitara Club has been approached.op the subject. ;)!'.)■ 1 FOOTBALL. A scheme has been discussed for holding a triangular test for the Ranfurly shield between Wellington, Taranaki, and Auckland (says the “Star”). The suggestion is that the two southern provinces should send teams to Auckland early in the next season and each play the other for the Banfurly shield. This would also prove an attraction for the official opening of the Eden Park ground, which has been, secured for the headquarters of the Rugby Union. i
