VILE. The reports of the pool, entertain
menr n bowling committees will pc

tees We're instructed 10 arrange for a pool
ournanent and a progressive euchre
party. The exact date OF the euchre has
not yet been decided upon, but it Will take
place the uatter part or his month. A re.
cepion will follow. The pool tournament
promises to be an interesting event, as
there are a number of very close players
connected with the club. Prizes viii be
awarded to the winners in both OF these
events, and handsome prizes they VIII
be, as a special committee has been ap-
pointed to select them. The pool tourna-

week before Lent commences.
The meeting next Tuesday VIII take
place very early and the member are
requested to be present as the IirSt OF d
series of interesting debates VIII take
place Immediately after the meeting au-
iourns. The subject to be discussed is:
s.Resolved, that the primary bill now
pending in the New York Legislature IS
far superior to that now in use in this
of those who will argue on the affirmative
mentioned. The Judges will be chosen on
the evening of the event. the poWllng
club is in a healthy condltlon ana much
interest in it is manifested by the mem
bers. A handsome gold medal is worn by
the member holding the highest score to
his credit and he is entitled TO wear same
until the score is beaten by another mem
Der. There is also a medal worn by the
member holding the highest monthly
score. Mr.. R~oerenbeck was the donaIor
of the medals.
The committee which was appointed a
short time ago TO wait on Father Nc
Dowell to arrange for a dramatic per-
Torrance was discharged at the last meet
ing. Al the time the committee was ap-
pointed the club was slightly in debt and
it was the intention of the members to run
off Il play in the parish hail on Ola Der
gen Road and Linden avenue for sew
eral nights. the proceeds to pay off the
debt. This. however, fell through, as the
committee never visited Father Mcdowell
to gain his consent. 1t was the unani-
NOUS opinion of the members, however,
thaf Father Mcdowell would hardly agree
to the member giving any performances
for the sole benefit of the club because
the church is too much in debt and
Father Mcdowell is working hard to di-
minish that debt, ably assisted by Father
Reilly. The members, however, are not
disappointed that the scheme fell through
for the club is now out OF debt, the mem
bers coming to the rescue by paying up
all back dues and putting the club in a
fairly good financial condition. There are
now fully one hundred members in the
club, all in good standing, the dead wood
having been dropped some time ago, and,
released of this burden, the club has
made rapid strides.

Father Carroll is very busy these days
studying different styles of buildings, so
the he can get a good idea of just what
kind of d building he will have put up
in Bramhall Park this summer
Father Carol while in conversation with
a reporter of The News has sale time
and time again that the new parish
school building when completed would be
to have a steel frame buildingand it will
be entirely fire proof. Everything to
be put in the building in the way of fur
nishing Will be new and the bowling
alleys will be models. The first step
toward the erection of the new hall
will be made by Father Carroll shortly,
when he will make application TO the
Street and Water Commissioners for a
sewer to be run through Brannhail avenue,
from Ocean to Garfield avenues This is
a much needed Improvement. y In the
northwest corner of the park is the race
track. Father Carroll intend to MAIN
tain this, as he is anxious to have the
young men of the club compete in ath-
letics with the members of the other
Catholic Clubs in this city. The track will
be used by the young men to practice on
a nd a. thor "a rTnll iDtnaAS IN ho VI GQxrdra1

track so that it can be used at night by
the members.
The pool nan which has been in
progress all this week in the clubhouse
opposite the church, o. Grand street,
has proved more successful han was
anticipated. The games are very excit-
ing and very close. There are twenty
play seventeen games. Twenty-Five balls
is a game. Some of the players have a
handicap of twenty balls and are only
compelled TO pocket five to run out the
game. These players have a great
advantage over the scratch men, who are
compelled to pocket twenty-five balls to
win a game. Father Carroll is also TAX
ing part i nthe Tournaments and he is by
no means a poor player. The first prize
is a billiard cue, inlaid with pearl. This
will go to the winner of the most games
and will have his name engraved there
on. He will, however, have to defend it
at least once a month against any player
who wishes to compete for it. Father Car
roll is the donator of the prize. There
are several other prizes which will be
awarded accordingly. James Costello is
the leader up to date, haying three games
to his credit
The member are awaiting with much
Impotence the coming of the night when
the reception is to be held at the Jersey
City clubhouse. This will be on February

pleasant affair.
