closed, with the Jersey City Athletic Club
occupying the enviable position of leader,
with the Palma Club OF this city and the
Phenix Club Of Harlem on even terms
and second, with one defeat more and
one victory less than the Jersey City
Athletics. The Elizabeth Athletic Club
follows, a game behind in each column.
This is a splendid record for the Jersey
City bowlers. New Jersey has only four
clubs, aud 10 contesting against the eleven
strongest bowling teams in New York
aud Brooklyn, yet three of the Jersey
clubs are at the top of the list. The
fourth club, the Roseville a. G.. follows
in the batch of five on even terms after
Elizabeth. The Our. American. New
York aud Munroe teams are keeping
Riverside company. Ivanhoe. Kecrea-
tion, Manhattan and Echo are next,
with the same record, and the Produce
and the Consolidated Exchange teams
are at the bottom of the list. each with .
victories aud G defeats. IL Is safe to pre-
dict that tae two Jersey City teams will
finish at or very close TO the head OF the
column. The tourney will last six weeks
longer, and the three leading clubs have

bly, be that these engagements will decide
which teams shall have first honors. The
Jersey City athletes gathered the laurels
last season and are confident of doing it
ngain. They may meet with defeat where
&c ia least expected. Palma had that sad
experience in its last engagements, when
il succumbed to two clubs that had been
doing inferior work; so much weaker that
