sey City.
The team tournament will be held to-
night at the gallery range OF the Hudson
Rife Club on Giles n The Excel
siors and the Hudsons, of this city, nave
entered teams; the Our Owns, OF Newark,
will be represented; the Zettler CLUB. of
New York, will send two teams. aud the
Empires, OF that city, has also entered a
team. A handsome silver trophy will
be presented 10 the successful
team. A match will also be decided
between teams OF ten composed of
New York and New Jersey marksmen.
1t is extremely probable that the Excel
siors team VIII not participate. Kilt
ridge is ill and Haliowell cannot be pres
emit. This would leave them without the
services Of two of the team. and defeat
would seem certain under the circum-
stances. The team would have taken
part had the tournament been held last
night, tho date fixed originally. It was
postponed at the request Of thaNew York
clubs.
The Excelsiors Will have their weekly
competitive shoot tonight If the team
does not go to Marion.
Kittredge n Hennessy had a lot of
fun a few evenings since. They visited
the fair at St. Aloysius' Academy and
broke all the pipes and balls. They COM
pletely exhausted the supply and amused
and astonished a large crowd with their
skill.

Bowling is the leading pastime of the
Hudson County Wheeimen. Last season
il was difficult to get a corporal's guard
at the clubs practice meetings This
season the bowlers flock to the alleys,
and there IL no trouble in getting com
plete rival teams Of ten men each. Many
attribute the increased attendance TO the
change in the alleys. as Becker's are
more convenient than those in the north
end OF old Bergen city. The bowling
meetings are full of life and fun. aud
this is the attraction thai brings out the
boys. They are not bowling for big
scores, they are out for the enjoyment.
The team expects, however, to reach first
place In the race for the first honor OF the
Wheelmen's Bowling League. They
have twice landed In second place.
