The subject on which George Francis
of Johnston will address the Business
Mems Association this evening in Rounds
block is one of vital interest to all those
residng in this vicinity. The annexation
of Johnstol and Cranston, III part, To the
city of Providence, is one from which the
greatest possible advantages would ac-
crue to the sections so joined.
True it would increase the amount of
taxes for the citizens Of Johnston and
Cranston, a fact which seems TO eclipse
the many benefits TO he derived from such
u union Even though taxation should be
increased the valuation of property
would almost double within the limits of
the thckly-populated quarters. Aside
from this there are other and far more inn
purtant features, which would tend to
effect the carrying out of the scheme and
meet with the sanction OF the people on
the now unconnected districts.
With annexation, the people would
enjoy the protection OF their homes from

Inducements on every side are offered for
the inhabitants OF the towns in question
To put themselves under the care of the
city.
Both sides of the question will this
evening be put before the representative
men Of the several places interested, and
the voice of the people will undoubtedly
be heard. The Business Mems Associa
tion have earned "A worldwide reputation,
which their energy and push have made
them so deserving of. IL should be the

for the GLOBE emblem with the Humor
club at Foley's. While neither team has
trained since the close of the tourna-
ment, both are in prime condition. and
grand game may safely be anticipated.
iii tell you why we are anxious to
bowl for the emblem" said Sam Trub-
shaw, of the Humor aggregation. II
have bowled a great deal in my life, and
have always enjoyed the sport. but let
me say without exaggeration, never
enjoyed an event so much as L have the
GLOBE tourney, and Pm almost sorry it
it over. Our boys went in for sport and
we had it, and we'll have right merry
time tomorrow evening with the
NushkaS. They are gentlemen, and no
one can help enjoying themselves when
they play this five"
Tomorrow evening the University
team will play the victors of tonight's
contest, and Thursday evening the En-
terprise boys will in turn play
the victors. and then will come the Cap
itol club. The Kegels will probably not
challenge.
1t is understood when the trophy is
finally settled by one club capturing
three games in the challenge series that
the Germania will challenge the win
ners to social game. The Germania
bowlers are barred from the right to
play for the emblem because they did
not compete for it originally. OF course,
this is a deviation from ordinary sport
ing rules, but it is in accordance with
statement published IN the GLOBE early
i'll the series. This is because the donors
felt that the badge should ultimately 90
to one of the teams playing through the
tournament.
