THE BowLERs.
scores at the Opening of the Series at the
Rooms of the Athletic Club

The first in the series of games in the
bowling tournament inaugurated by the
Portland Athletic Club, for the beautiful
silver pin offered by the club to the per-
son making the highest score, took place
last evening. The bowling alley was
thronged by members, and it was evident
by the enthusiasm displayed that the
affair will not only be a grand success,
but will be very exciting before the close
of the week. There are large number
of crack bowlers in the different teams,
and there will doubtless be some big
strings rolled off.
Three strings will be rolled by each
team an evening. Should there be any
ties they will be played off under the di-
rection of the bowling committee. No
entrance fee is required of the members,
but each player will make payment for
strings rolled according to the usual Gus
tom.
The prize will be awarded to the luck Y
winner who has scored the most points
during the match, Saturday evening at
the conclusion of the tournament. The
bowling committee who have the affair
in charge are Theodore c. Woodbury..
chairman; James E. Marrett John Cal
win Stevens, Lyman NJ. Nelson.
The following is the score of last eve
ming:

Practical Test Of Fire Materials.

The exhibition given on the Market lot
last evening by the Forest City Roofing
Company was success both in the
number of spectators present and the
fact the test demonstrated. A great
throng was present requiring the service
of half dozen policemen to keep them
back and allow room for the exhibition.
For the test house shaped box built
of inch pine, in size about SIX by nine
feet, was placed ON the ground and earth
shoveled around it. The building had
been painted two coats of the company s
enamel paint and the roof was protected
with their Climax roofing.
Several bales of straw, and half dozen
barrels of shavings were piled high
around and over the building and COM
pletely saturated with kerosene, some
ten gallons being used. The barrels
were then broken up and thrown on the
pile.
The torch was then applied and the
flames leaped high in the air and it soon
began to be decidedly hot in the vicinity,
so hot that the crowd had to fall back.
In the meantime Mr.. T. A. Gould adj
dressed the assemblage and described
the makeup, properties, utility, ETC., of
the roofing and paint.
The fire was then drawn from the
building and the structure stood forth
intact, somewhat scorched to be sure
but not burne in any part, in fact the
test fully proved every point and adj
vantage claimed for the supplies that
are made and sold by this company.

OBITUARY.


Rev. F. A. Bragdon. well known
Methodist clergyman, died at Kenne-
bnnlSport, at 3 o'clock Monday morning,
OF cerebro spinal meningitis. His age
was about 55 years. Mr.. Bragdon took
cold while attending the recent Metho-
dist conference at Westbrook, and was
not well when he arrived home. The
conference had assigned him to South
Paris, and he went to work packing his
household goods preparatory to making
the change. He was stricken down with
what at first appeared to be neuralgia
of the eye. From the eye the difficulty
extended around to the back OF the neck,
bringing on meningitis and paralysis of
the right side. MI. Bragdon came to
this part of the state from the Eastern
Maine conference about IS years ago.
Among the churches of which he has
been pastor since he came into this con-
ference have been those at Gorham,
where he remained two years, Kenne-
bunk, where he was three years, and
Kennebunkport, where he has been two
years. Mr.. Bragdon was one of the
ablest and most faithful preachers in his
denomination, and his death will be re-
gretted by large circle of friends. He
leaves wife and two sons, the eldest
being principal of the High school at
North Berwick. Mr.. Bragdon will be
taken to Brewer for burial today.

GOOD LEATHER"
The New Mexico Cana-Agria Product
Put to the Test by Philadel-
phia Firm.

To induce an opinion respecting the
eypediency of using cana-agria, or rather
its extract, as tanning agent, samples
of calfskin and sole leather tanned by
this process at Deming, have been for
warded to Robert Harkinson Il Co., leath-
err chemists, of Philadelphia. The Boston
Shoe and Leather Reporter states that
after cursory examination of the stock
tanned by the new substitute, the firm
discover an excellent texture and close
ness of grain, aAu S:they are satisfied its
wearing qualities will prove substantial.
The color of the sole leather is not all
that could be desired, but Harkinson &
Co. believe more attractive shade can
speedily be impaired, and to this end
they are now xperimenting. The calf
skin leather looks we'll and has good
luster, but is too heavily stuffed. This,
too, it is thought, can be avoided by the
use of some chemical, probably naphtha.

l.. G. Read returned last night from
Park View. He never saw Rio Arriba
county foothills and valleys looking so
inviting. Good crops of corn, beans,
wheat, oats, etc., are to be seen every
where, while the potato crop is greater
than for years past. Live stock is look
ing extremely we'll. Mr.. Read brought
samples of white Russian and black oats
from thirty-three acre field on Hon.
Alex. Reads farm that measure five feet
nine and half inches in height. Other
fields in the neighborhood show up quite
as we'll, and the most prosperous fall in
years is promised the people up there,
though, of course, the fact that only 6
cents pound is offered for wool has a
depressing effect on general business.
At present something like sixty car loads
of wool are stored at Chama awaiting
some definite policy by the administra-
ton on wool interests.

where to Stop in chicago.

The perplexing question which is every
day asked by people who desire to go to
Chicago to attend the Worlds fair is,
"Whero are we going to stay when we get
theref" This is easily answered, and if
you will go to the ticket agent of the
Santa Fe, Mr.. w. M. Smith, he will tell
you.
Arrangements have been made for the
distribution by the Santa Fe company of
a pamphlet entitled "Homes for Visitors
to the Worlds Fair" This is reliable
pamphlet containing the rames and ad-
dresses of alb out 5000 families who will
furnish accommodations to visitors from
May to October 81, 1898. The pamphlet
also contains sectional maps which will
enable tho intending visitor to select any
quarter of the city that he would prefer.
Correspondence can then be carried on
and definite arrangements made SO that
when visitors arrive in Chicago they can
proceed at once to their quarters.
