JERSEY CITY won ALL
Defeated the New Jersey
Bowling Club in Three
Trolley Games.
CLIO WHEELMEN WON
Captured the Special Match-The
Jersey City Cycle Show to
Close Tonight.

The JERSEY City Club broke its record
last night in the Hudson County Trolley
League by winning a complete series OF
games, the very first time that this had
happened this season. Jersey City has had
a run of hard luck, but now that this
has been severed the team can be expect
ed to keep on winning and will reach a
higher place in the record. Last night
Jersey City rolled a series of three games
with the New Jersey Bowling Club, end
ing in the teams success. They bowled
remarkably good averages in the second
: game, reaching the score of $50. The New
Jersey Bowling Club has had marked sue
cess in it's games since they began this
league, and their ~rooters had an opinion
the team would win the greater portion
of the victories on the Jersey City alleys,
consequently the result was not a very
pleasant one. They had no chance in
either of the games, and were beaten bad
ly. the contest being virtually a walk
over. When the, first game opened Jer-
sey gained a margin of one pin. This
they increased to 10, and still further I'M
til the tenth frame ended with rs pins.
viii Starrett is as strong as ever with
the ball, and was the leader for the home
team. He rolled 202 in the first game, but
just reached the average in the second,
but in the third stretched it some. Lock-
wood also put up a high score, the best
of the evening, with 211. The second game
was more easy to win, the home team
having over 100 pins. The third showed
very little difference, New Jerseys defeat
being accomplished with 102. For New
Jersey Lawrence was high at the start,
but fell off in each of the others, and
rolled below his average. The scores

mud Every yfsifNr Was Pleased.

0Hd Every visitor WAS Fieaseus
This will be the last day of the Jersey
City Cycle Show at Hasbrouck Hall, and
another big crowd is expected this even
ing. The xhibit has stirred up more IN
terest in this city than any other cycle

sexes, who appeared greatly interested
in the many new things shown in wheels
There were new features again last night,
another new chainless wheel being intro
duced to the exhibit by Wood 4 Menagh.
1T is a yellow Fellow" n was the cen
tire of attraction. AT E~veland's booth a
fine display was also made. a novelty adj
ded by him being a chain guard enclosed
by a glass case. 1t is very pretty and is
attached to a ladies' wheel. Dugan's
freak wheel, with the 221-gear, was an
other thing that interested every one. 1t
is the largest ever shown on a wheel. AT
Smith & Romaine's boot there were at
fractions without number in Wolf Ameri-
cans, and Featherstones his quad being
the largest wheel in the show. The Cat

a fine exhibit in Tribunes and Ben Van
Bugen also has an interesting display.
George Sharrott has some new models in
Pierce & Eagle wheels. Bernstein has a
good display. and showed everything in
bicycle outfits.
The trick riding by John Keefe, the
sboy wonder" was a great, attraction
and kept1 the attention rivited on the
stage while he occupied it. Excellent
music was furnished, but the most excite
ment was over the one mile home trainer
race which was open to all amateurs.
Six riders competed. An accident to one
of the home trainers necessitated the
holding of the race by time in place of the
regular competition. Each rider did his
best to. excel theo Their but Ben c. Fuller
has the best combination of strength and
speed. and won with Jack Jasper second
and James r. Harrison third. The time

should not fail to attend as the show is
well worthy the patronage of everyone.

short Apple Crop.

The Orange Judd Farmer of Tues
day last says: "The apple crop of
the United States is smaller than it
has been since reliable statistics have
been collected. The total supply
from the 1893 crop in the United
States is 27.000,0o0 barrels compared
With something over 40,000,O00 last
year, and 100000 in the record
breaking crop Of 1896. The failure is
Widespread, reaching from the Pacific
coast to Maine, and in none OF the
States does the output Of fruit ap-
proach the average. In the great
apple States of the west the crop is
almost an absolute failure, though the
situation in Michigan is better than
elsewhere, having about two-thirds
OF the bumper crop Of 1897, New
York has only one. fifth Of full crop.
The failure is attributed to the fact
that during the blooming season there
was excessive rainfall, which washed
out the pollen and prevented proper
fertilization by insects, while a cold
wave added to the injury and subse-
quent moist and humid weather was
very favorable to the development Of
funguous diseases. The Ontario crop
is decidedly short. The crop is re-
portad below the normal"
Apple buyers are scattered all over
the apple producing sections Of Ne.
vada and northern California quietly
picking up all the apples that are
marketable.

few nights ago evidence was found

in the snow sheds delayed the trains
and the plan was abandoned. Four
suspicious characters were noticed
about the ground, but they have all
