BOWLING

BOOTH CUP AND SHIELD PARK CLUB. MATCHES AGAINST MASTERTON. The second round of the Booth Cup and Shield competitions were played on Saturday afternoon between the Park and Masterton clubs, the latter being the hostess for the occasion. In the Cup matches honours were even each side having a win and a loss, but in the Shield game the home club proved victorious. Details are as follow (Park players being mentioned first in each instance): — Booth Cup: Kilgour, Carr. Shearer. Brownie (s) lost to Davey, Finlayson, Hendry. Christian (s), 17/21; Wallace, H.

In a game for the Keetley Medals played on the Park green, the holders, O'Donnell and Brown (s), beat the challengers, Lee and Trevarrow (s), 25/23. As the scores indicate, this was a very close contest throughout, and the issue was in doubt until the last bowl was played. CARTERTON v. GREYTOWN.. WIN FOR GREYTOWN IN SHIELD. ("Times-Age" Special.) Carterton and Greytown played a drawn game in the Booth Cup contest on the Carterton green on Saturday afternoon, and Greytown scored a win in the Duthie Shield.

(Notes by "The Bowler.”) It was most pleasing to see so many bowlers present on the Mastertcn Club’s greens on Saturday afternoon last, both greens being occupied. The first round of the champion singles and champion pairs must be completed by Saturday next, and I understand that no extension of t : me will be given. I was disappointed that so few players took the opportunity of playing off some of their games on Saturday. The draw sheets are put up in the pavilion, and I must congratulate Mr Hendry on the neat appearance of the sheets, and the plain and legible manner in which the names and the ciraw are shown. The results of the competitions played during last week are as follows: Champion Singles. W. Christian beat A. Henderson; J. Finlayson beat F. Evans; A. Stubbings beat J. Gordon; G. Hayne beat W. Davies.

Champion Pairs. H. Thomas and J. Campbell beat A. Stubbings and E. Reid: F. Mills and W. Reid beat J. Hunter and F. Evans. Colts. Holdsworth (4) beat Haarle (scr). I desire to remind bowlers that on Saturday afternoons the entries for the club foul's must be put into the box by not later than 1.15 o’clock. If abowler is unable to be on the green by 1.15 o’clock he can ring up the club and his entry will be accepted. Club Fours. Blane. Hyde. Doughty. Carstens boat Denbee. Reynolds. A. Hendry, F.
