A NEW CANADIAN MINISTRY.
The Governor General, Lord Stanley, In
trusts the Task to Sir John Thompson.

The Governor General, Lord Stanley, In
trusts the Task to Sir John Thompson.
Lord Stanley, governor general Of Canada,
yesterday called upon Sir John Thompson,
minister OF Justice, to form a new ministry
Sir John accepted the task and will announce
the choice of his advisors early next week
Sir John Abbott cabled his resignation as
premier to the governor gene al three days ago.
Lord Stanley and Sir John Thompson held a
three hours conference. Subsequently an Off
cial statement was given out that Sir John Abb
bott, in retiring on account of ill-health. had
recommended Sir John Thompson as his sue
cessor. Sir John Abbott is now in the south of
France. He only accepted the premiership. as
he expressed it. to temporarily fill the gap
created by Sir John Macdonald's death. This
Was a year and half ago, but during this
period Sir John Thompson had been virtually
prime minister.
Although there is no ministry, the cabinet
ministers will retain their departments until
new cabinet is formed. 1t is likely that nearly
all the colleagues of Sir John Thompson will be
retained. Hen J. A Chapleau. minister of Gus
toms. may go to Quebec as lieutenant governor,
but much depends upon the condition of his
health and the advice of his physician. If he
retires his successor will be Lieut.. Gov. Anglers
Of Quebec or d. Girouard, NJ. 2. from Nom
treal, with the indications in favor of the
latter.
Sir Adolph Caron and Hon. John Costigan
will remain in the ministry. 1t is likely that
Hon. j. Carlin. minister of agriculture. will be
succeeded by Hon. W. r. Meredith, leader of
the opposition in Ontario.
The bulletin announcing Sir John Abbott's
resignation and that Sir John Thompson had
been called upon to form government created
considerable excitement. The conservatives
generally indorse the selection.

Many persons have the impression that the
game originated with the Germans This is
wrong, but the game was being PLAYED about
the same time in both countries named, and it
seems impossible to learn where il originated.
The earliest history Of the game in this
country gives credit to the early settlers Of the
present metropolis, and here the bowling was
done OF the turf; so it would seem that Hol-
land 10 likewise q claimant for honors for having
the game in centuries gone BY. That part OF
Broadway near the Battery and where the game
was most generally played took its name from
the sport and called Bowling Green.
OF course in the earlier days Of the sport
here the game was played only when the
weather permitted 1t. After awhile q sheltered
place was built and as the game grew in popu-
hrity alleys Of boards were built, and then it
was that every picnic place of any consequence
had its bowling alleys, such as they were. As
Germans were largely the promoters Of out-of-
door amusements, in which picnics and tests
predominated. and of which the Schuetzen Fest
was an outgrowth, they are entitled to the
credit for having put the game upon its footing
In this country. They have done more than
any other nationality to popularize in this
country the very excellent and healthful
bowling game.
For many years in this country it was called
nine pins. taking the nane from the number Of
pins used Like all good things il was over
done and fell into the hands OF bad element
who used it for gambling purposes. In order

The bowling alleys Of the c. A. c. are con-

ventilation and convenience generally. The
alleys ore Of regulation size, being forty-two
inches wide and sixty feet long from the balk
line to the center Of head pin, and the pin spots
are twelve inches apart from center Of spot to

MINISTER PHELPS "BREAK."

Remarks at a German Banquet Landing the
Kaiser's Great Opponent Bismarck.
At the Thanksgiving dinner in the kaiserhof
in Berlin Thanksgiving evening William Walter
Phelps, United States ambassador, made some
remarks concerning Prince Bismarck which
have excited general astonishment and consd-
cradle disapproval.
Mr.. Phelps went out Of the course of his ad-
dress to say that the United States citizens at
the table remembered with gratitude the
friendly attitude maintained by the ex-chan-
cellor toward their native land and the many
pleasant friendships which he had sustained
with their compatriots. The magnitude. unity
and glory OF the German empire, Mr.. Phelps
continued. were Bismarck's work. His opin-
ions were respected now by the whole world as
fully as they were when he was in Office.
Just why Mr.. Phelps made these remarks is a
mystery. His relations TO the emperor were
considered to be exceptionally cordial. That
he should have selected an occasion when his
official rank was especially conspicuous to praise
the most violent antagonist of the government
to which he is accredited is generally regarded
to have been at least evidence OF questiona-

a reflector back OF it and throws a clear, steady
light down the alley. The green backs of the
refectors are not only pleasant to the eyes,
but prevent binding OF baking player. With
the increased length Of the alley came a change
in the size of pins and the placing of them.
and the astonishingly large scores of the shorter
alleys became a thing of the past.
The record of the club for the new alleys IS
223, made by Mr.. John Walker. 1t has been
equaled here only once but not in a game.

limit to its weight. and in the hands of an
expert it is really astonishing with what accu-
racy it can be rolled. The fine edges that can
be cut with it make it possible to make some of
the spares given below. The manner of de-
hvering the ball varies with the players, no two
scarcely making the same movement

REMARKABLE SEASON.
The season as a whole has been a remarkable
one. Never before have there been 80 many
surprises where all former calculations wers
upset by the unusual strength developed BY
young teams. Many elevens which have held
full sway In their own territory for years were
obliged to acknowledge the superiority of some
OF their adversaries. The college elevens be-
came improved each season, and the day when
Yale, Harvard and Princeton could vanquish
all other teams by scores Of from so to over leo
to o appears to have passed. Cornell and
Pennsylvania are almost on par with
the teams Of the Big Three" and q
new champion would not be an unexpected
outcome OF next years contests. The interest
which the public has taken in this sport has in
creased wonderfully. Crowds that were never
seen at base ball contest throng TO the field Of
play, and as far as the fall months nre con-
cerned foot BALI can undoubtedly be called
the national game. The Washington public has
awakened to the fact that the sport is a most
manly and exciting one, and soon as they
grasp the fundamental points of the game big
crowds and an excellent popular support Of the
game may be looked for.
