BOWLING.

The wheeling Bowling League tour,
rament was opened last night with n
boom Of the tara order. Nothing like 1t
ever travelled up the run, came down the
pike. or even happened. The real thing
began with the opening games in the al
Ieys between the Aber-NHts and the Sill
yer Globes but there was also very much
Of the genuine article In the festivities
that preceded.
The teams in gally decorated wagons,
with band, and red fire to burn, came
sp town about 1880 o'clock in the even
ing, and after serenadlng the news
paper offices took on board, HIS Honor,
Mayor Butts, and a couple OF newspaper
scrlbhs. The return trip out Caldwell's
run was In the nature of a triumphnl
entry, Into a land Of milk and honey.
Cruwds viewed the pageant up town, but
It remained for the natives Of the South
Side to do honor TO the merry knights of
ten pins They did II In great shape.
The curbs were lined with people, and
at many homes Of the buwlers Chinese
lanterns and bunting were displayed In
honor Of the occasion, hut IN the region
known as Caldwell's run, the inhabi-
tants did themselves brown. Men,
women and children, stood furr deep
along the run, cheering the inmates Of
the caravans. The band played TO beat
Itself, the Silver Globes "HoOrayed," and
the Aber Nits made the welkin ring with
their famous yell. The way they got off
this yell put college boys or red skins TO
shame.
Col Fette's Harvest Home alleys were
IN blaze OF light. The decorations

Serge and Robert Strobel were red fire
men, and took all kinds Of cakes for their
tasty use OF the illuminator. The kids
along the run helped turn things loose,
and the bowlers dlsmountlng from the
chariOts at the alley entrance, felt that
It was good to be there.
Col. Louis Walton, president OF the
Aber Nits, was one OF the stars Of the
occasion, He shared the honors with
Mayor Butts and Col. Henry Schmnl-
bach. The game began shortly after 8
o'clock RIOTERS for the Silver Globes
and Aber Nlts were there In abundance.
and they let loose ever and anon. The
band stationed in the rear added to the
excitement. The gallery outside the al
Iey5 was In great demand, owing to the
open windows, and rival rooters tried to
rattle the teams.
A momentnry lull was caused when
Mayor Butts shed his coat and tossed
NE first ball down the smooth way.
