charity, responded literally.

stocked with the many pretty things col
lected from the stores. They have two
refreshment tables where ice cream, cake,
confectionery and fruit are served in
abundance by a number of pretty young
ladies and misses. All the tables are very
attractive,
Miss Lizzie O'Neill is a blooming Re-
becca and dispenses lemonade from a
pieturesqaely surrounded well. Miss
Katie Mccormack has charge of the fancy
tables, and Miss Minnie MeHugh twirls
the wheel of fortue. Miss Maggie Norton
and Miss Sadie Clark are in charge of the
refreshments, and are assisted by a mum
Der of pretty young misses, whose bright
faces, framed in wealth Of brown and
golden hair, lend additional charm to a
rather enchanting scene.
The young assistants are Miss Mamie
Hopkins, Miss Minnie McHugh, Miss
Belle Gillespie, Miss Gussie Manchet,
Miss Urine Mccormack and Miss Sadie
McHugh.
Mr.. p. II. MoCloskey. the piano mover
kindly furnished the young ladies with a
piano, whose musical tones sweetly harm
onize with the continual buzz of CONVEX
sation and the silvery laughter OF the
young maidens, who are ia high glee over
the anticipated success OF the affair,
which will be continued allthe week.

FAIRMOUNTS FIRST FALL.
THEY WE'RE DE4iEATED ny THE
CLNgURYyS BEST TEAM.

The v~snquisi,ea Club still Leads in the
League R~ace-Spartans swamp the
Fremonts-Meeting of the Wayne
Athletic CIub-BowIing and sporting.
The Fairmounts experienced their first
defeat last night in the Jersey City Ania-
teur League competition The vfctors
were the clever Centurys, who were at
home and determined not to be van
pushed ON their own alleys, even if their
opponents had won twice on strange
alleys.
It was a jolly, noisy game, with shout
ing, twirling of rackets and footing of
horns. Browns Court House Alleys was
the battlefield and the space reserved for
spectators was absolutely packed.
The visiting team had done some prae-
Using on the alleys during the week, but
they failed to master all the wrinkles.
IL there are any on the alleys, as they
put up d much smaller game than usual,
their average just grazed the quarter OF
a century mark.
Four OF their team stopped in the teens,
two in the twenty block, three in the
thirties, and only one jumped over the
average line. q
The Centurys had ont their full team.
Bowley and Haniey were in bowling
llOON anu lOllOu up LII OAO o'0AANp'I : 49,
and Ed Del Orne hit the average. -Four
of the team finished in the thirty, station,
one fell to the teens. and Miller just
passed the century post.
The home team went for the lead at the
start, and when the first frame closed
had it by two dozen, In the second frame
they pulled together and went further
away from their rivals. 1t was evident
that the FaiFmountS were not IN playing
form, as the balls could not get the pins
aimed at, and they had many bad splits:
The Centurys glided steadily away, and
at the fifth frame had a lead OF 152, a
heavy handicap for the visitors to over
come.
AT the half way station the Centurys
had almost q fifteen hundred game and
the Fairmounts a twelve hundred game.
The latter is strong in playing an up hill
game and they Were not discouraged by
the long lead of their opponents. They
showed a decided improvement in the
last half and the total of their last five
frames exceeded that of the first hive by
lis pins. The ~FairmountS fell away n
did not maintain the early pace as they
dropped by 81 pins in the last half from
the figures Of the fifth frame. They,
however, kept close to the visitors who
made a net gain of only seventeen in the
last i've frames.
Tie Fairmounts began to cut down the
advantage of tine Centnrys in the sixth
frame. They reduced it then to 131, and
continued the cut until the eighth frame,
when it was IS. In the ninth the Cen
turys gained two pins. They wound up
strong, and in the tenth gained 3S pins,
giving them the victory by 1876 points.
The clubs cheered each other at the
close, and the Fairmounts remarked at
their departure: 1--WE will have to return
the compliment when you call at our
alleys They probably viii, as 1t has
often been demonstrated that the home
club has a decided advantage.
