By a majority of more than four to one the Carlton Bowling Club, Auckland. has rejected a proposal to introduce Sunday play on its greens. The question was discussed at a special meeting of members held at the conclusion of play on Saturday afternoon. The meeting was convened at the request of 40 members of the club who had signed a petition in favour of Sunday bowling. There was an attendance of about 140 members, and the president, Mr A. Taylor, intimated that the general committee had considered the request from all angles and had come to the conclusion that Sunday play was not in the interests of the club. After strong opposition to the request of the petition had been expressed by various speakers, only 23 voted for it on a show of hands. The majority against was so overwhelming that it was considered unnecessary to count the "noes." The result of the voting was received with applause.
