BOWLS.

BARNARD CASTLE BOWLING CLUB.

Barnard Castle bowlers had Consett Park as visitors on Monday, and though defeated the North-West Durham Club had an enjoyable time. The local Club were winners by the somewhat large margin of 24 shots. At the conclusion of the game the visitors were entertained to tea by the home players, after which Mr W. Emerson, ex-president, extended a hearty welcome to the Consett members. In reply Major A. Mangles, who is president of the Durham and Yorkshire Bowling Association, and a strenuous worker for the game in North-West Durham, spoke of the pleasure it gave them to visit Barnard Castle. Although an old cricketer, he had now being playing bowls for 20 years, and he declared it to be the finest summer game in existence. It encouraged and developed friendship and in other respects fostered the true spirit of sportsmanship. He hoped that the Barnard Castle Club would in the near future pay the Consett green a visit, when they would be assured of a hearty welcome. Although they could not boast of a magnificent building like the Bowes Museum they had at Consett the finest works of their kind in Europe. They had thoroughly enjoyed their visit and he hoped that the friendship formed that day would be renewed in the future to their mutual benefit.
