LADIES IN A CONTEST
The Mixed Team TouTna-
ment at the Catholic
Club Alleys.
CREDITABLE SCORES
Fuessel Beaten in a Match-Anchor
Athletics in Training
Rifle Scores.

At the Catholic Club last evening the
second nights competition in the mixed
team tournament was decided. The
bowling WAS a little stronger thar in the
first nights play, and an addition to the
team record was made by Captain Joe
Duane's bowlers. The team put up a
strong game, and their chances are excel
lent for the prize. Miss Cahill is the star
among the ladies, and as in the opening
games h vas well in the lead again
last evening". Another large attendance
OF ladies was present, it being the regu-
lar ladies' night at the club, and the fair
sex was out in force to witness the eff
forts of their representatives. The la
dies did very well. and a number reached
the century. In the game between teams
A and G the former held the lead in
every frame, and with the best exhibi-
ton given thus far defeated team C by
a margin of n pins. Laverty and Irving
We're high for the men, and Miss Cahill
and Mrs. Somers for the ladies'.
The meeting between teams B and D
was red-hot and one of the closest strug-
giles of the night. The teams changed
places several times, but steady work at
the finish CAV team D the victory by s
pins. R.. Duff rolled well for the losers,
and H. J. Burns for the winning team.
OF the ladies Mrs. Wells led the losing
team, while Miss Reilly rolled a clever
score for D. In the meeting between
teams e and L the latter had too much
force behind the ball, and drove the pins
from the spots for the highest number,
winning by 81. The ladies did poorly on
both sides, Mrs. H. J. Burns being high
with n. Miss Wanner rolled So; James
Egan rolled 161 for e, and j. Ferris, 145
for L. Team H got in some hard ticks
with the ball in the match with and
reached the second highest score of the
tournament. They had it pretty much
their W way in the final frames and
won by So pins. James Smathurst rolled
III for the winning side. Frank Riordan,
who captained team I, rolled the first
score of over 200, but even with that was
unable to win. Miss Farmer rolled well.
Miss cCann was ahead for team /. An
easy victory was gained by team G, cap
tanned by Ed Riordan, over team F,
headed by Jack Relish. J.. Kearse rolled
1852 and Miss Harris 102 for the winning
side, and Relish 157 and Miss Gallagher
66 for the other. The most exciting
game of the tournament was between
teams J and X, which gave the latter a
lead of 2 at the close. For them J.. Rich
erick and Miss Cough were leaders,
while high scores for j were made by J..
Clark and Miss Jordan. The full scores

CONCERT IN GREENVILLE.

Under the direction of the choir of
Linden Avenue M. +. Church, Greenvilla,
a concert of great merit was given last
night in the church building. The sing
ing of the choir itself in the glees Good
Night" by Pinsuti, and Danby's Awake
Aeolian Lyre'' was highly commendable
for its shading and tone. Mrs. Joseph A.
Gross sang four arIas with much sweet
ness and expression and Mrs. Belle Wilson
Butler, IN artist of ability, sang very ten
derby a ballad by Molloy, and Pinsuti's
ARROW n the Song Mr.. David Bes-
wick sang Mascheroni's "For All Eter-
nifty in splendid style and with great
expression and also a song by Buck.
There were very excellent recitaffons by
Mrs. Elizabeth Dalton, thoroughly appre-
ciated by the audience, and two violin
solos by Mr.. Adrian Primrose played in
a pleasing style. The MARBLE Quartette
sang a medley.
