WORK PROGRESSING FINE

notwithstanding tho wet wealth
or, the work of grading streets on
the lands Of the Tazewcll G. III.
Improvement Company, has visi-
bly, progressed during the week.
The huge plows and the large
force Of hands make good head
way and the prospects for an carly
completion Of this part of the work
are very favorable. Great faith is
manifested in certain increase in
value Of lots over that ut which
they arc held by the company. 1t
is a good opportunity for either
permanent or speculative invest
ments.
1t is proper to state here, how
ever, that the sale of lots is not
yet being pushed. 1t was the I'M
derstanding that they were not to
be put regularly on the market un-
til the water works and street car
line were finished. The sales that
have been made were to meet an
immediate demand and no one will
be refused a lot at any time.

EXCITING LEAGUE RACE.
Two Clubs a Tie in First
PlaCe---BoWling and
Baseball.

The excitement is at white heat in the
local league. The Independents and Fair
mounts are now neck and neck In tho
lead, with the Centurys two scant lengths
behind. moving well and the wire a long
distance away.
The Fairmounts reached the leaders
last night. 1t was a stubborn fight until
the homcstretch, when the Fairmoupts
made u pretty squirt and drew away.
They had almost five hundred points in
the last three frames and won by an even
hundred.
The game was rolled on the Fairmount's
alleys.
The Centrals and Lafayettes, who were
guarding the extreme left of the nne also
met and the Centrals remained at the left
while the Lafayettes advanced a round
and are now close ut the heels of the Vol
unteers. The Lafayettes are confident OF
passing the South Bergen boys.
The contest between the leaders drew
O large audience which boiled over with
enthusiasm. The bowlers did not lack
encouragement, and every strike and
spare was met with cheers u applause.
The Fairnlounts went to the lore IN the
first frame by IL. The Greenville boys
ran up 1872 in the second frame and Sc
cured the lead by 4 pins and Independent
stock advanced, The Fairmounts recoY-
cred the lead in the third frame and had
10 the best of it. The fourth was a even
frame, but the home club gained g pins.
The fifth closed with the Fairmounts 81
ahead.
The home team had fifty per cent. of a
1,476 game, and the visiting ten one-half
of a 1,414 game. The Fairmounts did bet
ter in the last half by IS pins, as they
added 7S6. The independents made ID
slight gain in the total of the first hall, rs
in the last five frames their total was T22.
1t was in the last three frames that the
Fairmounts did the pretty work. There
was an average of only two breaksin each
of these frames. The seventh ended with
the Independents 40 in the rear. In the
eighth they were 60 and in the ninth l04.
They made a stiff fight in the last frame
TO cut down the lead to less than 100 and
had a fine frame, but they gained only
four, as the home team was bowling well.
The latter won by an even hundred.
Only Il of the Fair mounts failed to
reach a fair score. All the team closed
near the average mark, and i've Of them
excelled it. Fuessel led with 202 and
Reiners and Flugge both moved into the
sixty fiat.
Two of the Independents rolled a weak
game, and just passed the hundred line.
The scores of the other eight were good.
The best total was Schlatmann's. The
bowling of j.. Bischoff vas excellent, and
he quit only one point short OF seventy.
1t was II of the best games of the
series, and, although exciting, the best
feeling prevailed aud the yanquished ac-
cepted the defeat with smiles,

a home club this season.
1t is likely that all the bowling honors
will come to this city.

The Central-Lafayette game was a jolly
affair. Happiness reigns wherever these
clubs play. They are not out for the
trophy, they arc out for pleasure and they
always have it. The contest was devoid
of interest u excitemcnt, and che spec
Uators who filled to refietien the ample
space reserved for them, displayed as
much enthusiasm as ii the championship
depended III The result.
Ihc game WAS rolled on Smiths alleys,

they intended winning. They gathered
the lead in the first frame. 1t was Il
small lead, only n pin, but the adj
vantage nevertheless, and they would
have been content to have finished with
that small advantage.
In the second frame they gained four
teen and had a lead of fifteen In the
third they maintained the advantage and
We're twelve ahead. In the fourth frame
they made q gain and the frane closed
with a majority of twenty-six for the
Hudson City boys.
1t was looking dark for Lafayette. 1t
was brighter in the fifth frame when the
home team ran in credits and improved
their total by 1T6 n gave them the COM
mand by thirteen pins. The Lafayettes
were then only eight pins mort of q 400
game and the Centrals were thirty-four
short. In the last half both fell below
the total of the first half. The Lafayettes
added 682 in the last five frames. which
was sixteen below h total of the first
five. The Generals increased their total in
the last half by 6l7, which was sixty-six
less than that of The first half.
The Lafayettes by the big seventh frame
got the winning lead. They held the
Hudson City team by rs, precisely the
amount of the winning margin. In the
eighth the Centrals cut down the lead 60
81 pins aud hope was revived. In the
ninth the Lafayettes warmed up and inn
proved their lead by n. The tenth ended
just as the seventh, with the home club
fs ahead. j. Seilheimer and Jones put

while Woiler, Smith, Kirkland and Bren-

Club struck the Jonah alleys at Eliza
beth q . night. and they slipped back a
0 the championship ladder. The
bowling was not up 10 the standard fixed
by the Jersey City boys, and Davis aud
Olmstead were the only members of the
Big Five who did brilliant work aud
kept their end up. Klein inst passed the
average and Curran and Schultz went
below a hundred and q half.
The Elizabeth team were in superb
form and made the iine average of l67.
They whipped the Jersey City boys by
146 pins.
The defeat has not deprived the Jersey
Citys of the lead, but it brings the Eliza
beth team near them. They are even in
games won, each has Ave victories, but
the Jersey Citys have lost only two games,
which is one less than Elizabeth athletes
losses. The Jersey Citys have an advanr-
age, as they have another game at home
before the series of anne are rolled on

TAM team next Wednesday, and judging
