BOWLING.

Hawcra green is to bo ellicially opened tor J 'lay on Wednesday, October ■!, and •Stratford will opeh on the following day. The supposition that there will be no banner eonipetition in the southern divsion this season is, we are credibly 111 formed, rather premature. ■Some remarks to the pout concerning the attitude of members of athletic and other clubs to the clubs to which tliev belong were made (the Argus says) by Mr. If. (!. Carman at the anmml meeting of the Kltiiam Bowling Club, lie said that members did. not seem to realise what a club meant. Ife thought a club #n association of persons which together, by contributing a pertain amount, could engage in something which individually each member could not. Each member had his own place in the institution and was expected te take part in the management of its affairs, and not pay so much, get all he could out of the club, and do nothing else for it. .Some members seem to look on a club as a shop instead of an institution of which they were a part. The result of the election of officers for the Kltham Club was as follows: — President. Mr. 10. t'. Carter; vice-presi-dent, Mr. J. .McKay; committee, Jlcssrs. C. T. 0. lMggs, 0. J). Cow, and K. Hitter; groundsman, Mr. 11. (!. Carmail; secretary and treasurer, the filling of this ollice was left to the committee to deal with; delegate to the Taranaki Centre, Mr. J. Ure Murray.
