Quite a lot of interest was taken in the final for the Recreation Club bowling championship which took place: on Thursday on the Club's green. The finalists were W. H. Jackson and 8. M. Wallace, and both players had a large following.
After a most interesting encounter, which became more exciting as twenty-one was reached, Jackson won by four points. He began very well, and at one time led by 9—1. The players never peeled, but once after the half way line had been passed, when Wallace had the "Jack", it looked as if the scores night be levelled up, but. the latter failed. Thenceforward the issue was never in doubt and with really superb bowling Jackson won. The scores read:—W. H. Jackson 21, 32
