Theatrical Man Pedals Over
Ice and Snow.

Spencer, Dec 13.-The hackers of the
Spencer bowling team are greatly
pleased today over the strong showing
that their favorites made last night
against the strong Winthrop league pin
team of Worcester. Considering the cir
cumstances the local boys made a great
showing. For two months past the
bowlers in Spencer have devoted their
time to the candle pins, so that the
league pins have not been touched at
all. Next Friday night the candle pin
team will roll the Winthrop candle pin
team in Worcester, while Monday night
of next week the local league team will
bowl the same team in Worcester
which bowled last night in Spencer.
A series of five games will be boWled
with both the Winthrop candle and
league pin teams. The turkey supper
which the Spencer and North Brook
field candle pin teams bowled for will
be served at eight o'clock Thursday
evening at the Massasoit Hotel. The
Spencer boys consider themselves in
luck on not having to pay for the sup
per, but still do not object to eating it.
Mr. Froham, manager of the Conquer
or Theatrical Company, which played
in Worcester last night. wheeled
through town today on his way to
Springfield where his company will
show tonight. Froham said that he
found the pedaling hard, but did not
mind that, as he rides his wheel every
day in the year. He claimed that he
left Worcester shortly after o'clock,
and at 1880 was in r. M. Kane's fur
nishlng store, buying a pair of mittens.
