JERSEY CITY CLUB GAMES

Last night a third competition between
the Clio Wheelmen and Paramount Bowl
ing Clubs was decided on the Pythian
Hall alleys, and for the first time the
Fairmounts We're the winners. This
match was rolled between the hye-men
teams of each club, the best members be-
ing pitted. In both previous meetings the
Clos won. Excellent work was done last
night by the Fairmounts their team
did some great rolling. The games We're
unusually close, however, and ii was a
question as to the probable winner right
up to the finish of the tenth frame. me
opening game was the most exciting, the
clubs rolling a close race to the very emo,
Clio losing by two pins. The second
match was equally spirited. the rolling
being even and continuing lively until the
close. which again favored the FAR
mounts by nine pins. There was no let
by the winners of the other W games IN
the third, and the members We're deter
mined 10 take all, which they did very
cieverly. After the games a lively time
was had, the Fairmounts celebrating very
literally their victory. The score;-

FOR THE MILITARY CUP.

gnnrfA h Sill xiNsa for tho PrIZs.

Unless the athletes Of the Fourth Regi-
mert make a brace in the games at
Madison Square Garden drnins the re-
mainder OF the week they will fall short
Of winning the Championship cup OF The
National Guard. The Fourth made an
excellent showing on Monday and as last
nights events were supposed to favor
their ability it was expected the local
runners would win the greater part of
the honors. That they failed in this
was a surprise and with the lead acquired
for the cup by the Twanty-second Regi-
ment 1t is rather doubtful whether the
Fourth can beat them out in the remain
ing events. The prime reason for disap-
pointmeEt last night was the defeat Of
Charlie Sulxe- in the 22o-yards run and
Louis Liebgold in the half mile walk. The
cycle races were as expected won by the
New York and Brooklyn Regiments, but
in the handicap over the 440 yards run
the Fourth athletes made rings around
the other and won as they pleased, TAX
ing all three prizes. The record OF last

of city officials who are today inspecting
the water SHEDS of the p. H. Flynn

A quorum of the directors, however,

Among those who waited in vain for a
quorum of the Board Observation-Disclosures

his bill, known as House No. 236, for the
improvement of land owned by the city
on the Hackensack water front, beginning
at a point 200 feet north of Newark ave-
nue.. He wanted the endorsement of the
Board of Trade. He is also trying to get
the endorsement of the Merchants Pro-

The Assemblyman has consulted with
Acting Chief Engineer G.. A. Van
Keuren A preliminary estimate of cost
of the proposed Improvement shows that
the entire work could be done for about
s135. 600. 1t would give a water frontage
Of $50 feet. with an average width of
about 700 feet.
The Assemblyman is inclined to the
opinion that despite the Governors OPP
cipalities to issue bonds where the indebr.
edness is in excess of ten per cent, of
the ratables. he would make an excep-
tion of this one. Unlike that proposed

Assemblyman says, is a measure to pro-

vicinity improved, and docks built, fac

the water front. All that is needed is
proper dock facilities.

right angles. In general appearance the

Concerning the statement made by some
riders of cnainless wheels to the effect
that the new style makes them get mus

passes away with experience and con-

Some gear cases which have appeared
this year are criticised on the ground that
the sprocket and crank hanger bearings
are left exposed, while a rim of felt bears
on the rim of the sprocket to exclude
dust. The extra friction produced by the
felt is said by the makers to be inconstd-
