BOWLING

GRADY MEDALS. Messrs Robertson and Sorenson, of the Carterton Club played the holders of the Grady Medals, Messrs Shedden and Higgison last evening. The Greytown pair retained the trophies, winning by a good margin. Playing for the Dennes Medal, H. B. Wallace gave T. Connolly, the holder a fright on the last head. If Wallace had been successful with his attempt to trail the jack he would have scored a win. He just missed and Connolly retains the medal.
