Bowls
The Buntingford Bowls Club journeyed to Hertford on July 10th to play Hertford Unionist Working Men's Club in a League game, which resulted in a good win for the Buntingford Club by ten points.
This makes the club's fourth successive win.
----
Mr W.J. May journeyed to meet a Rosedale bowls player in the Singles Competition, and won by 21 points to 5.
Mr May is now in the semi-final, and the Buntingford Club wish him good luck to win through to the end.
Agricultural Show
We hear from the Hon. Sec. of the Agricultural Show that the entries are well up to expectations, and members of the Society in this district are supporting it will by sending exhibits in spite of it being held at Hertford.
We wish them every success, and feel certain that as usual the other parts of the county will find that the horses and cattle around Buntingford are very hard to beat.
Mr S.G. Lees is again in charge of the construction of the Show Yard, and is being assisted by others from Buntingford. The cattle entries are a record, and on the entertainment side the trotting and pony races should prove a very exciting event.
All people in Buntingford regret that circumstances forced a change of venue, but we are assured that the committee are very hopeful that sufficient financial success will be obtained at Hertford, so that the Society may again hold their Annual Show at Buntingford.
Buntingford Agricultural Show
We have received a Schedule of the 1926 Show, which is to be held at Hertford on July 15th.
Included in the Schedule is a list of donations to the local prize fund which the Mayor of Hertford (Alexander Purkiss Ginn, Esq.) has collected.
The amount collected to date is £315 3s. 0d., and goes to prove that Hertford itself has extended a hearty welcome to a Society which six years ago was unknown.
The Schedule itself is larger this year, several special classes having been added.
Among the attractions advertised in the Schedule are Coaching Marathon, Jumping Competition, Trotting Handicaps and Pony Galloping Races. The band of the Hertfordshire Regiment will also be in attendance, and there will also be Horse-shoeing competitions, an Educational Tent, Bee-Keeping demonstrations, &c. Thurston's amusements will also be present.
Schedules may be obtained on application to the Hon. Secretary, Mr G. Scarborough Taylor, High Street, Buntingford.
