EWINGTON BADGES. ] (Notes by “The Bowler.”) An enjoyable match was played on the Masterton Club’s green yesterday afternoon for the J. C. Ewington J Badges. . The holders of the badges were A. J Hendry, T. T. Denbee, Doughty and C. , Perry (s), of the Masterton Club, and the challengers, C. Moore, A. Reader, * E. Brown and Kilgour (s), of the Park ( Club. j The green was in excellent order, ( but the gusty winds made it difficult for good drawing. ; Prior to the commencement of the | match, Mr E. W. Nielson, in the ab- i sence of the club’s president, Mr H. j Thomas, extended a hearty welcome to ( the Park veterans, and referred to the ( many pleasant and enjoyable games j which had been played for a number j of years past between the Masterton ; and Park clubs. 1 Mr Kilgour, on behalf of the Park 1 Club, sincerely thanked Mr Nielson for . the cordial welcome extended to his 1 team. ' The match was a most interesting one up to the 13th head, but there- ' after the Masterton team scored 13 points to their opponents 5. . • The details are as follow: —At the • 4th head the scores were Masterton 3, Park 4. Masterton was leading on the 7th head by 4 points. The scores were even on the 11th head, 9 all. Masterton was 2 points ahead on the 13th head, but they scored 5 points on the 14th head, which gave them a lead of 7 points. At the 16th head, the scores were: Masterton 21, Park 11. On the next 2 .heads, Park put on 3 points, still leaving Masterton with a lead of 7 points, with 3 heads to play. The game concluded on the 21st head, the score board showing Masterton 25, Park 15. I understand that the holders have already received a challenge from the other veteran members of the Masterion Club. ~ x j Mr H. H.
