LOWE AND MACkALL LED.
Progressive Whist at the C, A, G.
House,

Quite an imposing group of enthusiastic
whist players gathered at the parlors of
the Columbia Athletic Club last night, the
regular weekly progressive whist evening
of the club. Seven tables were occupied.
Several pairs who arrived late had to take
their enjoyment in watching the others.
The games started promptly at 8 O'Clock
and were concluded by 11:30, everything
passing off with satisfaction, owing prin
cipally to the Stafford system of scoring.
which is big Improvement over the old
time progressive game of playing the east
and west against the north and south con-
tinuously through the evening. The whist
committee worked industrously to make
all the visitors at home. and were engaged
until a late hour over the scores The fol-
lowing was the standing of the pairs at the
end of the evenings play.

WASHINGTON A. c. WON TWO.
Three Games Bowled of the District
League Series.


Three games of less than ordinary inter-
est were played in the District Bowling
League series last night between the Co
lumbia and Washington Athletic clubs
The alleys of the South Washington Busi-
ness Mems Club were used. The Washing
tons won two Of the three games in the
second event, making the only respectable
total in the match. All of the other team
scores were miserably poor, the Columbia
twice bowling under TOO. Kidd made the
only good individual score in the match,
when he bowled 1ss in the second game.
1t stands by itself, a proud performance
conspicuously out Of It's class as compared
to any Of the other scores.
Worse than mediocre work by both teams
made the first game funereal performance
with the Washington Athletic Club in the
hearse, Columbia leading at every stage.
Chances for spares were ruthlessly thrown
away at every opportunity, and the thud
or the lignum vitae as it fell against the
black mattresses was apparently more to
be expected than that the single pin should
be touched.
The score follows:
