THREE STRAIGHT FOR THE BrJous. /.

THREE STRAIGHT FOR THE BILIOUS.
The league game between the Bilious and
the Elites at the Bijou Skating Parlor last
evening was witnessed by large and en-
thusiastic audience. The Elites played at a
disadvantage as two of their men could not
accompany them. The vacancies were filed
by Messrs. Dunegan and Mccarthy of this
city.
The first rush was won by White for the
Elites, who started the ball for the Bilious
cage in good shape. The playing was sharp
and marked by some good points. Nc
Andrews Gagged the ball after six and one
half minutes play by difficult shot from
the side; Butler took the second rush and
passed to McAndrews who drove the ball
straight into the netting of the Elites cage.
The third rush fell to Bntler who also won
the goal after five and one-half minutes of
hot work. The summary follows:
