BOWLING SEASON CLOSES. On Thursday afternoon the Temnka Bowling Club brought the season to a close with a drawing, driving, and trailing competition. The weather was perfect, and a large number of bowlers were present, including a contingent from Geraldine. On the long and short heads the maximum number of points was 12 on each, and for the trail and driving 20 and 9 respectively, a total of 53. Competition was very keen, and at one period three players, Messrs Logan (Geraldine), Edwards and McCallum (Temnka) tied with a score of 33. Edwards then put up a score of 34, but McCallum retaliated with 39, and this remained unbeaten, and he was declared the winner. The same player" won the special prize for the highest aggregate of the five best individual scores. Afternoon tea was provided by Mrs J. B. Sinclair, who was assisted by Mesdames Shiels and Thompson. Pleasing variety was lent to the proceedings by a fine programme of gramophone selections provided by the president (Mr J. B. Sinclair), who in conjunction with the secretary (Mr D. White) was kept busy during the whole afternoon. The financial return was more than satisfactory. SALEYARDS COMPANY. The annual meeting of the Temnka Saleyards Company was held in 'J’emuka, when the annual report showed a very satisfactory state of affairs. Over 11,000 sheep have been dipped during the present season at the company’s dip, a much greater number than has ever been put through in any previous year. About 50 new pens nt the cattle yards had been erected to replace the old cattle yards, and this work was all paid for out of revenue. Messrs John Paterson (Winchester) and G. B. Cartwright (Temuka) were re-elected ehaiman and vice-chairman respectively. PERSONAL. Mr and Mrs R- Malcolm returned to Temnka yesterday. Mr John Bambridge, who has been visiting Dunedin, returned to Temuka yesterday. PICTURES TO-NIGHT. Patrons of the pictures will be pleased of the opportunity of seeing Priscilla Dean in “'The Siren of Seville,” at the Dominion Theatre to-night. The picture in the early stages embodies some very humorous scenes in the life of a young country lad, whose ambition it is to become a famous matador. In this he i.s assisted by the Siren of Seville, who gains him a position in the arena, and he becomes the most famous matador in Spain—the idol of tho people. Tho picture sustains interest throughout, with scenes from thrilling bull fights, and novel episodes in a humorous vein.
