PRAY sraIyos.- We learn that party ID
being made up to visit Perry Sprlngs the
coming week. II this be true, our keokuk
neighbors will have On opportunity Of seeing
ten pins played according to ssHoyle." The
idea, however, Of putting the ladies OF Keo.
kuk against the fair ones Of this locality u,
TO say the least, preposterous. Il is even
more so than sending the Clippers down to
meet The inyincible Occidentals. The Clip.
pers came, but left here barely convalescent.
So will it be with the keokuk champions
when they meet the fair representatives Of
Quincy. They will be fndisposed on the oc-
easion. = Quincy Herald
As IS eulogfst, The local Of the Herald .uc-
ceeds admirably. We trust and have reason
to believe though that the. party which il
being made up TO 60 from thu place to Perry
during the coming week will settle the ques.
ton OF championship At ten pins in the minds
Of our Quincy friends Tor all time to come.
