February's object of the month was a pair of wooden bowls for lawn bowling. These bowls are lead weighted with ivory dedication plaques inscribed "Subiaco Bowling Club, Maiden Trophy, won by J. Lake, Season 1904-5".
Mr Joseph Lake was one of the very first representatives elected to sit on the Subiaco Municipality back in 1897. Mr Lake built his family home on the corner of Bagot and Salisbury Road, it is still standing today.
