BOWLING

SEASON TO CLOSE ON SATURDAY. The official closing of the Carterton bowling green will take place on Saturday afternoon next. Members are reminded that it will be a general “tea day.”

A very interesting game was played on the Carterton green last evening for the Pragnell Cup when W. Higgison met the holder, W. C. M. Sorensen. From the third end to the 11th the holder gained a lead of eight points the score being 17/9. Higgison then made up the leeway and on the 19th end the score board read 18 all. Sorensen led at the 20th end 20/18 and with one end to go Higgison scored two points to make the score 20 all, Sorensen thus retaining the trophy. In the Carterton Club progressive pairs championship J. Billington, and A. Thompson (s) beat E. T. Beaven and C. H. Barber (s) 19/7, and E. A. Pankhurst and A. C. Tucker (s) beat J. Billington and G. Riggs (s) 24/9.
