She certainly seemed to be nearer forty
than sixty. I recognized her as the wife
of a well known New York business man,
and knowing that she is always busily
employed, was interested TO discover
the cause Of her wonderful health and
vigoS.
Happening to mention the matter to a
lady Of my acquaintance shortly after,
she volunteered the following explana-
ton:

IN n OF our largest provincial towns
with a population numbering half a mil
Ion, II IS calculated that upon every day
OF fhe year n person is knocked down

and that one person IS killed in a street
accident every ten days. In view Of this
serious state Of things the municipal au-
thortties have directed their chief con
stable to make q special report upon the
subject, as it IS urged that more attention
ought TO be paid 10 the care of the STREETS,
n that considerably increased powers
should be given to the police to deal with
careless and reckless driving. Whilst it
is admitted that the condition OF area
vehicular traffic, and the high pressure of
life in this metropolis of ours make com

II is recommended, amongst other things.
that the plan adopted by our notice Of TAX

lowed, inasTnueh as, owing to the regula-
tons in force at these especially danger
Gus places, they do not show a higher per-
centage of fatalities than others.

The Catholic Club won again last night
in the Amateur Bowling Association
and further paved its way to the cham
pionship. The team bowled at home all
leys and defeated the strong Oritani Field
Club of Hackensack. The prominence OF
the visiting team added to the interest.
as it was thought the team would give
the home bowlers q hard struggle fer
the victory. The alleys were crowded
with spectators they anticipated a
high score. They were not disappointed.
The .Oritanis were unable to do much
execution with the ball, and like the
champion Elizabeths failed to reach the
average. They were nc match for the
coming champions who outclassed them,
winning by a very one-sided score. The
visitors started as though they would be
aggressive, but after the first frame this
faded away, and the home team had the
victory we'll in hand. They kept to work
and slugged the pins for keeps, battering
them for increased records on every
frame. They created new records in the
last five frames for their alley, and made
the highest ten men team score in the
history of the alley. When it was APP
parent that the Hackensack bowiers were
beaten the Catholic Club turned their at
tention 10 making new figures for the
league series, and succeeded, beating the
score made by Elizabeth, which was
highest made IN the "A. B. A. this sea-

get it, but was successful, and in place

and the highest record was beaten with
a score of 1903. 1t was great rolling,
and filled the crowd with enthusiasm.
Charles cathcart led in the bowling with
1877. Tom Cavanagh made 1874 and a.
Wright $50. John Clark and ohm Relish
did not d much to the figures, both fall

The Clio Wheelmen were forced to work
hard last night for what they got in the
competition on Heye's alleys. They bowled
the stars of the Hudson County Wheel
men in two games of the New Jersey As
ISOLATED Cyclers' League. Rioters were
plentiful for both teams, and during the
contests made themselves heard. The
Hudson County boys were more trouble
some than the Clos anticipated, and even
with the big four the Clos were forced to
pile up the credits on the final frame of
the first game to get the victory, so close
were the scores. At the start the CLOS
bowled to the front and were 10 pins ahead
on the third frame. This was increased
on the fourth to 80 pins. On the fifth
they were still in the van, but on the sixth
Clio rolled ahead by 6 pins. They held
this advantage to the tenth. The team
