The bowlers OF the Hudson County
Wheelmen rolled their first game last
night for the championship of the Wheel
mems Bowling League,
The game was contested on Browns
Court House alleys in the presence OF a
large and spirited audience, The Hudson
County boys were defeated. The visitors
were the New York Bicycle Club, and a
happy aggregation they are. They shouted
and sang until they were hoarse.
The home team was less lively. The
scors was not encouraging. Captain Ay-
mar was jolly, and he and Cleveland, OF
New York, the two tallest men in the
teams, had a glorious time.
The big barrel pins we're used, and the
Hudson county boys regretted h a they
had not insisted upon banging at the
regulation pins. The scores would have
been smaller, but the Jersey City boys
would have probably won the game:
The Workers rolled q straight ball and
down went the pins The Jersey boys
best bowlers threw q curved ball and the
pins did not go down, unless they caught
the head pin. Bonley did not succeed In
getting a strike. but had eight spares.
Earl, another of the strongest bowlers,
made only one strike, but got six spares.
The Hudson County bowlers did not
discover why the visitors were doing SO

that they could not catch up as the York
ers were in command by o hundred pins:
The Jerseynen made a pretty rally and
cut down the lead of their rivals by rs
pins in the last five frames which brought
them within 20 pins of the leader and
made it a close finish.
The visitors piled up 1873 in the first
frame and assumed the lead by 81, q bad
start for Jersey. In the second the YORK
ers gained 9. and when the third frame
wa completed they had a lead of 81 Al
the close of the fifth frame the vlsitors
held the lead by 104 pins:
The Jersey boys then had only a l,56O
game, as they had to their credit at tne
end of the fifth frame $40.
In the last half of the game the jersey
men put up 100, and had they done as
well in the first half they would have had
almost a sixteen hundred game ana
would have won easily. The total OF the
last five frames exceeded that OF the nrst
five by Ill pins.

Took Mr.. Doscher by storm.

AoOA Max 0VoSHCI ny SSOHADs H-
Every body in old Hudson City knows
bluff John Doscher, the Central avenue
grocer.
Fifteen years ago last evening he and
Miss Louisa Eschwey were married by
the Rev. Deepen Schmidt. As the fif-
teenth anniversary of the wedding APP
preached John e. Macarthur and several
friends concluded it would be a good
scheme to surprise Doscher and at the
same time to show him of what stuff his
friends were made. Mrs. Doscher was
taken into their confidence and arrange
ments for a good time were made and all
time John went on selling groceries, I'M
conscious OF what was going on.
Before nine O'Clock last evening n
| goodiy party of ladies and gentlemen
gathered in Kessler's upper hall, and all
during the evening ladies were receiving
a big supper. A band of music killed
time by playing lively airs until nine
o'clock was reached, and then the party,
headed by V. L. Figarotta, went over and
took possession of Johns store. and sur
prised him by informing him that he
must accompany them. He pleaded for
time to array himself properly, but the
party took him as he was and escorted
him to the hall, where a large crowd.
including his wife and three children and
many neighbors, received and %congratu-
lated him. Then the band struck up and
everybody danced until supper time,
when a royal feast was discussed in the
dining room, accompanied by song,
speeches and wine. Numerous presents
were given to Mr.. and Mrs. Doscher, and
the fun was continued long after mid
night.
Prominent in the company were Mr..
and Mrs. V. L. F~igarotta, DR.. and Mrs.
Josiah Hornblower and Miss Hornblower,
ex-Alderman and Mrs. Walter Elliott,
Freeholder and Mrs. G. A. P6ngsten, Mr..

THREE TIED FOR FIRST PLACE.


The Volunteers Won a League Game
Last Night.
Three of the teams in the Jersey City
League nave tied for first place. The
Fairmounts, Volunteers and Independ-
ents have each won three games and lost
n ~ fS lsE
The Volunteers slipped into the first
rank last night by defeating the Lafay-
cites.
The contest took place ON Becker's
alleys, on Jackson avenue, where the
Volunteers bowl. A large audience saw
the battle, which was not close, as the
Iafayettes made a poor showing. They
did not rave out their FULL team, but sew
erai of the regulars made small scores.
Only one man on the Lafayette team was
in form. That was Waller, who had a
score of 17S. Not another man or the
team reached the average line.
The two nearest were Baxter and Jones,
who made 143 and 142, respectively.
Smith and Douglas went into the thirty
block. Kirkland stopped at the entrance
to the twenty station, and Duls, Mills,
Loach and Cohen were in the teens.
The Volunteers bowlers We're not in
good shape, except Captain Fulton and
Lusch, who moved up to the eighty
block.
The nearest neighbors were Humphrey
and Van Wrinkle, who were in the fifty
station. The Grabo brothers were at the
short end.
The Volunteers made a fine start, and
put in 1872 in their first frame, which is
ii better than the Lafayette boys total.
At the third frame the home club had O.
lead of 109, and it was plain that it was an
off night for the visitors
The close of the hrst half saw the Vol
pnteers in the better position by III pins.
THE Volunteers were at the fifth frame
pattlng up a fifteen hundred game, while
TIE Lafayettes had figures for thirteen
hundred total. The formerdid not main
tain it's pace and had % less in the last
five frames than in the first five. The
Lafayettes did not vary and the difference
w the first and last half was only

the team made poor scores. Storms, the
crack bowler of the club, put up POI. He
beat two hundred in the first league
game, but fell to 113 in the second. Hill,
who made such a fine showing against
Leuly here last Friday, put up 1853 last
night. Seven of the Oritanis were at or
above the average line.
The score of the Hudsons is the best on
record for a visiting club at the alleys
and is only fourteen behind the best score
made there, as the League team in a prac-
tice game rolled l ,706.
A SPLENDID collation. was served at the
wind up and happy speeches were made
by Pop Ellery, Captain Leuly II

elocutionist, gave recitations, and singing
was INDUCED in. The Hudsons were de-
lighted with the reception.

Even There a Mar Cannot Profit by His
Own Wrong.
A novel horse case was tried before
Justice Douglass in the First District
Court this morning. Cornelius Murray
brought suit against John O'Eara to re-
cover a horse which OHara had pur-
chased from Murray's brother Thomas.
Thomas claimed that the horse was his
property, although the receipt was in the
name of Cornelius.
1t appeared from the evidence that Cor
nelius bought a horse from the Pavonia
Railroad Company upon the condition
that if the horse died the company would
sell him another at a reduced price.
When Thomas wanted to buy his horse
from the company he sent Cornelius to
pretend to the company that the horse he
had purchased had died and that it was
to replace that animal that another was
wanted.
The Judge decided that the horse was
Thomas property,
