that these Two will unite with the New

The Home Club Won the First Games in
the New League.
The first game of the new league was
rolled last night on the alleys of the Jer-
sey City Athletic Club. The contest at
tracted a large audience, who were
anxious to see how the new plan of two
games by teams of five would work. They
were content with the result. The teams
completed their two games in less time
by half an hour han the usual time con-
Sumed by teams OF ten rolling one game.
In addition to the saving effected in
time it enables each club to select all star
bowlers and ensures q big game.
The averages last night were SO high
that they surprised the spectators who
expressed their delight by constantly APP
plauding and cheering. There was no
lack of opportunity to shout. The bowl

TRENTON. Jan. Is, 1s90.-The Republi-
can senators held a conference in the
Trenton House which lasted until past
midnight. Senator Miller, when asked
what had been done, declared nothing"
and added that only some measures TO be
introduced int the Senate were, talked
over. He said the Offices were not dis
cussed, as an agreement to that effect
was made before the conference began.
There is but little change in the slate
for the Senate from that | sent you on
Saturday. Senators Cranmer and Gard
ner are said to have withdrawn all pre-
tentlons or claims to the presidency, and
Senator Nevius. OF Monmouth, will re-
ceive the honor. Arthur A. Mott, of Es-
sex, is slated for the secretaryship.
sHARP's FEELINGS HURT.
Sharp's friends have not given up fight
ing III his behalf and seem to be deter
mined to capture something for the old
man. Some of his supporters are loud
spoken in what, to put ii mildly, they call
an injustice, and declare that the shelly
ing OF Sharp is the basest kind of ingrati-
tpde. They say Sharp has done much
hard, conscientious work for the party
and made frequent and liberal contribu-
tons, and noW that he asks a favor of the
leaders he is practically kicked to one
side.
Still with Sharp a half loaf is better
than none, ana since the secretaryship
has eluded his grasp a determined effort
is being made TO make him a Journal
clerkship. Gus Barber, of Gloucester,
has such a ''cinch" OF thai position,
however, that the efforts of Sharp's
friends are looked upon as noble and
generous buu futile.
