There is growing belief that the pro-
posed new social club will not be the
bowling success anticipated unless some
of the more straight-laced members will

observancas. Billiards, bowling, che ok
ers or any other Innocent form OF amuse-
ment is to be prohibited ON that day. One
gentleman, who Is member, Jokingly
remarked to me the other day that some
of the members were in favor of religious
exercises on Sunday. The Boat Club act,
which is an iron clad act, was adopted by
the club. BY the way, what a misnomer

It was amusing TO watch the antics of
one Patrick Woods on the witness stand,
at the Coroner's inquest, Monday night.
Patrick started to give mis- testimony in a
slow, deliberate manner. After he had
finished the jury got hold of him and
began firing questions at him at the rate

frightened the man to death, and another
INQUEST might have to have been ordered

rescue and saved the mans hfe.. AS lt

cross questioning of the witnesses showed
that he was peculiarly adapted for the
Law.
