One On Thaekeray.

Thackeray is one of Sir William
Fraser's heroes, and he has much
that is interesting to tell of the
great novelist. 1t may not be
generally known that "Jeames of
Buckley Square" was a real person.
His name was Foster, and he was
the fashionable reporter of the
Morning Post. Thackeray affected
to believe that the voluminous re-
ports in that journal of fashionable
balls we're contributed by a foot
man, whom he idealised as Jeames.
But the satirist had his little vani-
ties himself, and could not under
stand the omission of his own
name from the fashionable lists.
On one occasion he walked up to
the table in the entrance-hall
of a great house at which Mr..
Foster was recording the brilliant
army that passed before him, and
said to the reporter, My name is
Thackeray" Without looking up
the individual said, "Yes, and
mine is Jeames.'" Thackeray's
name never appeared to Jeames's
last hour.

But there is many slip" on bowling alley and they found the Newcomers on deck unanimously. The bowling for the first three games was very exciting, es- pccially the second, which was won by Danbury by three points. The games were played with no friction and the best of good humor reigned throughout and was thoroughly enjoyed by partici- pants and spectators. The score fol- lows:
