LEGATION the City Of Mexico, and its date
1886.
Now, we know from two authorities,
Archbishop Davila Padilla, of San Domln-
60, and Alonzo Fernandez. that the volume
had an existence. Both Of them mentioned
il in their works, and that the book was
printed exclusively for the novices at the
monastery of ST. Dominic, in the City OF
Mexico, where the first printing press was
located in the Three Americas All blbll-
ographical authorities are absolutely Ger
tain of its having had an existence, and that
it antedates what is now the first DOCK
actually known to be preserved, and that is
Cabrera's Manual OF Adults of which
there are only few fragments in private
library at Madrid, but on one of which we
read that the printer, kromberger, finished
it in the City of Mexico on December IL,
1910. Here, then. is a prize to be found,

Juan Pablos.
This fact is only known to a few men
besides US two" the book worm went on,
'.but the existence OF the first book printed
in New England is more generally recog-
nized on account of old Isaiah Thomas in
his History of Printing having made us
acquainted with the fact Thomas tells US
that in January, 1859, printing was first
performed in that part of North America
which extends from the Gulf of Mexico to
the Frozen ocean, The first press and
font of type were imported to New Eng
land by the Rev. Jesse Glover who defray-
ed part of the expense, the balance being
contributed by several other persons in
New England and Amsterdam The first
printer who settled in what is now the
United States, and turned out books here,
was Londoner named Stephen Daye, who
came along with the printing plant, and
was set to work at Cambridge, in Massa
chusetts. 1t is generally supposed by many
that the Bay Psalm Book imprinted in

What the Pin Smashers of Hudson

The Hudson County Wheelmen bowlers
practiced Friday on their alleys on jack

to it that a spare game is winning
game, but unfortunately the boys have
tumbled into rut. They smash the pins
in such manner that split is impos'
sible and their endeavor to make some
very difficult spares. That they don't do
it is demonstrated by the fact that they
have not rs yet won a game in the Wheel
mems bowling tournament Huson should
teach the boys to smash the pins for
strikes, and then if split is made their
ability as spare 'eaters" will come to the
rescue.
