The Montgomerys and Independents
bowled in their final League games Tor
this season at Muller's alleys last uight.
Each won a game. The Montgomerys
won the first by ten pins and the lnde-
pendents captured the second by 81. The
scores were light. but some pretty plays
were witnessed. Doe Farrell distin-
guished himself by making W very
difficult spares. He cut the end pin and
sent it across the alley, taking down the
pin on the opposite side. His total of
161 was the best made In either
game by the home team. Not n of the
GreenvilIe bowlers reached the average
in the first game. Schlatman was only
one and Herig only two pins under the
line. The other three could not get o
the thirty block. Hartman and Farrell
did better than the average for the Mont
gomerys.
In the second game Frantz Caught

Hunt.

The Athletic Clubs Team Still in the
Hunt.
The bowling team of the Jersey City
Athletic Clubs Wheelmen occ upies
second place in the Wheelmen's League,
and they may reach first honors. 1t was
not very bright a fortnight ago when the
Jersey City BOYS ran into an unlucky
groove, but they are out of it now and
have been moving up. The New York
Bicycle Club has the lead. They have
only lost two games, but the balance OF
the games are heavy contracts. They
will meet some of the best teams in the
League, and will bow away from home.
The Jersey City boys have the
majority of their games on their
own alleys, and the first will
be with the leaders tomorrow night. II
the Athletes do the trick they will likely
tie the New Yorks or win the champion
ship. The New Yorks have to meet the
Atlantas and Manhattans on the alleys of
the rival teams and the chances are that
they will lose at least one of the games,
IL not both. The only game the Jersey
City boys have to bowl away from home
is against the Hudson County Wheelmen
at Guests alleys and this they should
win. AT home, in addition to the New
York team, they will the
kiversides and Atlantas. The record to
date is as follows:-

Notes,

Corbett has offered TO meet and stop
three men at Madison Square Garden
next Tuesday night without leaving the
ring. 1t is a heavy undertaking. One of
the men will be Joe Lannon. the old
sparring partner of Sullivan, Lannon
successfully stood off Jake Kilrain and
Frank Heard. If the other two men are
the peers of Lannon. it will be a severe
test Of Corbett's strength and skill.
Corbett has put breaks down on
Mitchell. The latter has announced that
he will meet an unknown before the
Olympic Club at New Orleans on March
2, and intimated broadly that his oppon-
ent will be Corbett. The latter yesterday

n GhEAT AID.
The new service, as can be seen at a
glance, will be an immense aid to the
police. This large and rapidly growing
city has a territory larger in area, than
the METROPOLIS, and is butsparsely policed
as best.
President Feeney, of the Police Com
m~issioners, has given the subject much
thought. and the Introduction of the
Gamewel system, the result of his
labors. will enable the Department to do
better work thar ever before, The sys-
tenn has done splendid work 10 Chicago,
and other large cities. and the cost OF its
introduction and maintenance is u mere
trile, compared with its value as an
adjunct to police work, or with the cost
Of providing badly-needed additional
patrolmen. The system is to be gradually
extended to all parts Of the city. AT
present it is to be used only In the pre-
cincls provided with patrol wagons and
horses, provision for which, thanks to
President Feeney's foresight, has been
made in all the new stations.

ucmrm n de Oysters.

Years ago family lived on a farm in Q
little country, where there was no rail-
road, and the nearest city was a number
OF miles distant. The father was very
fond OF oysters, and how do you suppose
he managed TO have some always "at
hand?" He would drive to the nearest
city, buy a bushcl of "real live" ones,
and bring them back home with him.
But that was not all. They were then
carefully placed in rows along the cellar
floor, where IL was rather dark and cool
and little damp.
The most interesting part, however,
was TO keep them alive. Every little
while someone would 60 "down- cellar ["
and feed them by sprinkling them with
meal and with water. Oae OF the little
girls in the family, who is now grown up,
says she can remember how the oysters
closed their shells with a snap after they
were fed, but perhaps that was only in
her imag ination. Anyway, IL they hap
pened TO be forgotten for a time they
would be found patiently waiting with
their shells open ready to receive their
next meal. Hsrper's Young People.

A FIERCE FIGHT.
Riverside Men Cut Each Other
With Clam Knives.
ESPECIAL To TuE SEws.i


RIVERSIDE, II. l.. Oct. l0-What nearly
eliminated in a double tragedy on Satur-
day night was only averted through the
interierence OF a citizen named George
stewart. About 1880 o'clock Saturday
night, as all good people were retiring for
the night. loud words were heard in the
vicini v of the summer hotel of which
William Austin is proprietor. which,
upon Investigation, proved To be a
drunken row between Elisha Very and
Horace Wilmarth, botn of this village.
As near as could be ascertained the
trouble arose over some remarks made by
Very concerning the running Of the hotel
during the su INNER season, whsu liquors
were sold there without any license. One
word brought on another, and finally
Austin struck Very on the head with ~
lager beer bottle. This OF course made
Very mad aud he then challenged any
'uan in the rum SHOP To fight, saying,
.. can lici any m&a In mere" upon

just at this point In the state
Of affairs, Night Officer Franklin
Monroe happened upon the scene and
quelled the disturbance for the time
icing, ordering tbs men To their homes.
fhe men walked sulklly away from the
Lotel, each vowing vengeance upon the
other. About halt aa hour after both OF
the part ci pauts returned TO the hote! aud
more words ensuei. Very wanted more

not fight there. to come into the 9ods.
The men s arted down River street for the

reached they both drew larxe ella II knives

A Mysterious Cavern.

On the north side Of Table Mountain
and near its top is an opening in the lava
that has since its early days been known
as the +" lions den," says the Oroville,
Cal, Mercury.
1t was so named from the fact that for
years it was the lair of band of ferocious
California lions that, when the country
was largely devoted to sheep raising,
made mighty depredations upon the
focks and caused the owners much an
noyance and loss. When pursued, the
animals would seek refuge in this den,
and no hunter would dare to enter 1t.
The ground about the entrance was
covered with the bones and remnants OF
sheep and other animals. With the in
crease OF population the lions have grad
ually disappeared, although as late as last
spring two OF the animals were seen to
enter the cave.
Strange TO say, no man has ever pene-
trated this cave to its fullest depth. The
mouth Is about four or five feet high and
three feet wide, and the opening descends
with a sharp incline for about two hun
dred feet. Further than this it has never
been explored.
