ARMoR GOSSIP.

Company B was successful in its attempt
to procure the cup for the most number of
points won in the games Wednesday night.
They had. in the language of the gamin, a
dead cinch'' on it, as they were really the
only company in the regiment who made any
effort to secure the trophy. Company A
deserves great credit for its good showing,
and it is regretted by many that they did
not do better. The Athletic Association de-
serves the praise of every member of the
regiment for the success which attended their
efforts. Lieutenant Moore and his corps of
assistants labored necessarily to make the
games a success.
Adjutant F. Cole denies the rumor that he
endeavored to have the officers pictures on
the front page of the programme.
Company L drilled Thursday night. The COM
pany was divided into platoons under COM
mand of Lieutenants Hulshizer and Culver.
Captain Graft was in command of the COM
| pany.
The invitations are out for the subscrip-
ton dance of Company I. The committee
consists of Lieutenant H. Culver, Sergeant
G. W. Ri1man, Corporal A. w. Van Zee
and Private L. Street.
Lieutenant j. O'Neill was well pleased at
the showing the athletes from the Second
Regiment of Englewood made. This is Lieu
tenant O'Neilps old regiment, in which he
held the rank of Sergeant.
Tickets are out for the stag. It will be
held on Saturday evening, April II, and will
surpass anything of its kind ever held in
Jersey City. The admission will be CON

noon between elevens representing the
Teutonic Rovers and International A. G..

a victory for the Rovers by a score of
8 goals to nothing.
The Centreville A. c.. and the Scottish
Americans of Newark We're scheduled to
meet yesterday in a championship game
of the Nationals Association Football
League at Newark. The Centrevilles ex-
pected that the ground would not be in
condition for play and part of the team
turned up. J.. Pentland, the official ref
cree, decided that the ground was unfit
but afterward reversed his decision, not
w-ithstanding the rule which says that
the same shall be final. and awarded the
game to the Scots. The latter then ac-
complished quite a feat in defeating a
team of sixteen players by 5 goals TO 8
goals.

O'Clock last evening. One youngster of
a more scientific turn of mind than the
others brought a coil of copper wire
and an electric bell into play. The wire
