The date for the A. A. U. annual track
and field championships has been liked for
September Is. The location will depend on
the enterprise of representative clubs deslr-
GUS of fostering the meeting. The games
having been held in the West last year, 1t Is
believed that some prominent Eastern club
will be favored. TIE Boston magnates are
said to be casting c. Vetous eyes at the nix
ture. and the indications are that the Hub
OF some other New England centre will be
iatrusted with the holding of the tourna-
uent.

The Boyd's Ladies' Night.
Last night was ladies night at the John
Boyd Bowling Club, and Colonel Browns
alleys presented a gala appearance. The oc-
casion was the closing of the season, and,
as the members of this popular club always
open the season with a reception to the
ladies, it was decided to also close the season
in the same manner. The alleys were given
ND entirely to the fair sex, whose efforts to
propel the wooden spheres down the alley
without making ats'poodle" caused consider
able merriment. The fact that SO many
poor scores were made can be attributed to
the fact that the ladies were coached by
Henry Hanley and Johnnie Muller. The
scores made by the ladies were as follows
Mrs. John Keefe, II: Mrs. Wolfe, so; Mrs.
Ruffer, g.; Mrs. Cehie, 80; MrsaF. Heintze,
81: Mrs. Frank Burke, 81; Mrs. J v. Burke,
Ga; Mrs. Simon, los; Mrs. FredmBurke, 80;
Mrs. j.. P. Noonan, 81; Miss Tillie Donahue,
e5; Miss Katie Muller, ~; Miss Nellie afe
Miss Ida Burke, Is; Miss Fa nnie Riordan,
S4: Miss Emma Jarecki, 80; Miss Anna
.Iarecki, IA; Miss Nellie Riordan, 80; Miss
Kate Rafter, lis.
Each lady received a handsome prize and
at the conclusion of the game enjoyed a
sunptuous repast provided by MINI Host
Brown. Mr.. George Refill sang a number
+, of comic songs, Mrs. Keefe sang, Miss Ida
Burke danced several fancy dances in a
charming manner, and Mr.. w. w; Baxter
sang and recited. Dancing was INDUCED in
until all early hour and when the fair bowl
ers left for their homes they voted the Boyd
Bowling Club to be a great institution.
