BOWLING.
Crescents Beat Tontines by Score of 14O9
to 1873.

The star game of the season was bowled
at Pines alleys last evening, between the
above named clubs, and was either
clubs' game to the very finish. The first
string the Crescents led on the sixth
frame by forty pins, but the Tontines
secured four spares and ono strike in sue
cession ana cut the lead down to twelve
at the finish. The second string was
close all through, but the Crescents
managed to win out by six pins. The
last string started in with both teams on
their mettle, particularly the Tontines
who gradually cut the Crescents lead
down to one pin on the sixth frame, but
the Crescents began to get in their work
and finally won the game by thirty-six
pins. Such rolling as was done Ia the
last four frames by both teams has never
been witnessed at the alleys, the star
work being done by Reedy and Pine, but
all the men are entitled to equal credit
with them for their grand work. Reidy
was high man at 301. Pine second at 29l.
AS the score will show the totals were
very even. The score:

Lecture on Jerusalem.

Street Fife in jerusalem" was the
subject Of very informal, but none the
less interesting lecture, which was given
last night, at the Y. M. G. A. by Rev.
Salah Merrill, d. D., who has resided in
Palestine 10 years, and for eight years
represented this government in Jerusa-
lem as United States consul. By the aid
of series of pictures the audience was
made familiar with the every day scenes
and life Of the Holy City. Starting at
Jaffa the auditors were transported over
q narrow guage road to the gate of Jeru-
salem and at oncs introduced to the ever
present money changer. Views then
oriental costumes aud faces, interesting
wedding professions. blind beggars, and
incidents in the habits and customs of
the people were depicted in the most
realistic manner. Buildings were pict-
ured and described with great minuteness,
one of particular interest being that
known as the Mediterranean hotel in
which General Grant, Gordon and Lew
Wallace were domiciled during their stay
in 1.-The city. The business of the country
was referred to and especial mention
was made of the lime, stone, sheep,
wine aud wheat Industries and the
methods Of carrying them on were
graphically presented. Jerusalem is the
Mecca of Pilgrims. Russia sending from
5000 to 10, 900 each year. A picture of
great local interest was that of the mis-
sions under the charge of Mrs. leighton,
former resident Of Portland, located on
the road to Damascus whose splendid
work DR.. Morrill, bore testimony to.
The last picture shown was that of an
Armenian convent situated near the spot
where Herod had his palace, adjoining
which is vacant lot, excavations from
which at some future day the Doctor
thought would be of great historical In
terest. The 1nclsment weather prevented
large gathering and this fact is to be
regretted for the lecture was highly en-
teItAining as well as instructing.
