of various denominations here, the most rater-
nal feeling exists. A band Of those. comp osed
of the Episcopal, the Reformed Dutch, the
| Preshvterians, with spriDkling OF elders,
meet daily at half-past ten, to play their Ia
vorite game, to unbeud their minds, and
nerve their arm for the season OF toni before
them. And right merry, in agodly way, are
they too. And we're il not for the repeat
cd remarks in the presence OF the crowd
that look on as ten strike follows ten-strike,
that the unerring roller has not tucbed ball
since the last time be was at Saratoga, that
lit was an accidental ball that brought all the
pins down. or that they never roll except
when they come to Sarat' ga one would be
tempted to believe that ali hands were adopts
at the heathful pastime Of ten pins"
