The bowlers Of the Jersey City Athletic
Club, who had carried off the laureis in
the Amateur Athletic Bowling Associa-
ton arena were supremcly happy last
night when they entered the dining hall
of the Belvedere House and were greeted
by so many enthusiastic friends.
The assembly WAS in honor of the
superb and triumphant work of the
champions of the association.
The Big Five received an extra hard
grasp of the hand or a slightly broader
smile for their more recent conquest IN
the Herald tourney. when they wrestled
with and crushed the nine competitors
who stood between them and the cham
pionS' cup.
The bowling cranks Of the club, about
one hundred, were present last night, and
were so elated when the team brought
home the first honors OF the A. a. u. A.,
that they decided to manifest their appre-
ciation of their skill and services for the
club by rendering q reception and Dan
quet to the victorious BOWERS.

House was selected, because 1t possesses
many advantages and the verdict was IN

against Jerseymen. [,
