The residents of that aristocratic sec
tion of the city. the neighborhood Of
Barrow and Mercer streets. are greatly
exercised just now over the prospects
that their quiet neiRhborhood will be in
vaded by liquor saloon or store Of some
description. Messrs William Har-
vey g. Son have advertised for
sale the old Gilchrist homestead
of the southwest corner OF Barrow and
Mercer street, in which the late Attorney
General Robert Gilchrist resided SO many
years. they call attention in their ad-
vertisement to the fact the property is
free from restrictions, and that with a
slight outlay the building can be changed
into fat with a store.
The residents in the vicinity claim that
there is restriction in the deed to the
property which precludes stores and flats
and they have appointed Il committee to
see that the restriction is enforced against
any purchaser who attempts to erect any
such building.

Boyds and Montgomerys are in close
company, and are having a hot struggle
for third place. The Independents should
have been at least in third place, but
jealousy and discord have caused the
mischief, and MAJ result in the dissolu-
ton of the club which has won the cham
pionship every season since the formation
OF the League. The five men team was
the cause, as the club had too many
bowlers who, having a high estimate OF
their ability, believed they hould have
been selected as one of the team. The
