BOWLING

MASTERTON CLUB SEASON TO OPEN ON OCTOBER 18. GREENS IN SPLENDID ORDER. (Notes by “The Bowler.”) Bowlers generally, and especially members of the Masterton Bowling Club, are. I know, looking forward with pleasure, to the day when they can take up the grand old game of bowls. The official opening of the Alasterton Club has been fixed for Saturday, October 18, but bowlers will be pleased to know that the committee has decid-, ed to allow members to have a “roll up” on Saturday, October 11, provided the conditions are favourable. The greens are looking well, and when the bowling expert, All- Horton, examined them a few days ago he expressed the opinion that the Alasterton Club will have two greens equal to anything in the Dominion. Mr Horton had written out certain conditions which he expected the caretaker to carry out and he expessed himself quite definitely that Mr W. G. Bishop, the club’s caretaker, had most faithfully and conscientiously carried out his duties, and the greens were a credit to him. The surroundings of the club's premises have been most carefully attended to, and the flower beds, thanks to the generosity of Mr Guthrie-Smith, a popular club member, are well planted with numerous varieties of flowers.
