Tho man who has been unable to 500
anything attractive or beneficial in "ye
ancient game Of bowls" aud has all
along declared that tho present SO
called "crozo" for bowling in Wheeling
is oil tho roller OiNtc variety and would
soon disappear and explode with me.
tcor.Iiko briIliancy like that crazo, had
better sCcl; his hole ~ once, and show
himself no more. Tha. the game has
come TO stay, aud stay good and hard
was demonstrated at two meetings last
night. Ono was the meeting OF
tho projectors Of tho Musco theatre
bowling alICys, and tho other that of
tho Wheeling Park Association, at
which it WA decided to nut in four
moro alIcys.
The meeting Of tho creditors OF the
Muscc theatre and tho stockholders Of
the Wheeling Bowling Association
which they fa!hurod, at House 4 Herr.
mann's on Main street, resulted in tho
putting Ot that project on Il substantial
footing. Mr., +. NJ. Holiday presided

urcr.
II was decided that tho association
shall purchase tho MUscc theatre from
the creditors on the basis OF 80 per cent
OF their claims, TO be paid ioc in stock
OF the association. secured by deeds OF
trust on he building. 1t was decided
that the alleys shalt be for the exclusive
use OF members Of the association, but
that members can bring others who are
not members, who can use the alleys
after being provided with admission
tickets by the secretary or manager OF
the alleyG. The stock certificates will
be issued after secretary has been
chosen after meeting OF the stock
holders, which will bG held probably
early next week to elect IL board Of d.
roctors. Tho shares are placed at $40,
aud ono-fourth ia payable when stock

delivery OF the certificate in thirty DAYS.
4 general committee, with iuiI power
to lot contracts for the alleys, fix up and
rent tho two front store rooms, sell the
opera chairs and to do any other bust
ness for the association was appointed,
and is composed OF Mcssrs. L. NJ. lIoli-
day and George ChrstliGh.
Work on tho improvements at the
Musce will be commenced us soon rs
the general committee has let the con.
tracts, probably. oariy next week, and
everything is expected TO be ready 10
roll the first bali on the new alleys
about the first or tenth of March.
1herO is difference Of opinion As TO
what sized alleys shall be put in at the
Musee. Some people would like to see
the regulation alleys there, such ns are
used by the big eastern bowling leagues,
forty-two inches wide, while others
think the difficulty OF maxim. strikes
and spares on such an alley will iniurc
the popularity OF the new institution.
4 compromise may be effected by
which two alleys will be the regulation
size. while two will be the same rs the
others used in Wheeling, twcnty-nine
to thirty-two inches wide.
