Before he could. speak she said he had
better put them in his pockets to weigh
him down a bit when he went into the
water.-Spare Moments.

The Roseville A. A. seems to be MAX
ing a runaway race of it in the Athletic
League tournament. They ave won six
games more than their nearest opponent,
the Jersey City Club, and lost six less
than that organization. Those who figured
out these matters before are satisfied to
concede first place to the Roseville I'VE.
The Jersey City Club seems to have a
cinch on second place, and either the
Knickerbocker A. c., the New York A. G.,
or the North End Club can stin take
third money. The standing to date is as

she listens to the childish conversation

tirely in the royal presence. Princess
Victoria Eugene has always been from
her birth very closely connected with Scot
land. She was born at Balmoral Oct. "a,
1886, and was the first member of the roy
al family born in Scotland since the year
1900. Her cradle was bought in Edin-
burgh, and she has always been surround
ed by Scotch attendants. Accordingly no
one can be surprised that the princess is
devoted to the and of the heather and
that she is never happier than at Balmo-
raj.
The little court favorite is being very
highly educated, and she speaks four Ian
guages f1uently.
The little girl grows more and more to
resemble the queen in features and voice
and has the rare self possession that is
one of the distinguishing characteristics
of the royal lady. Ena also has the queens
warm hearted iInpulsiveness and kindly
charity. These latter qualities have been
carefully fostered by the grandmother.
Even as a very small child Princess Ena
was taught to think of others before her
self. Each Christmas she entertains the
children Of St. Mildred's church. Whip
bingham, which is the parish church of
Osborne, where the queens residence is
located. At this yearly treat she has act
ed as hostess ever since she was old enough
to do so, presiding over the proceedings,
looking after her guests and distributing
the presents, which have been in the great
majority of cases not only chosen but al
SO purchased by herself. To her also is
confided the care Of decorating with holly
and white chrysanthemums the private

ASSOCIATED CYCLERs

The castle Point CyclerS' crack team
of bowlers, who spent much time in seek
ing championship honors for their or
ganization, proved themselves the most
proficient bowlers of the five teams that
were entered in the Associated Cycling
Clubs of New Jersey tournament. Out of
eighteen games they won fourteen and
lost four. The original schedule called
for but sixteen games, but because of a
tie with the Clio Wheelmen, of this city,
which occurred on the Castle Points
alleys. another series of three games were
decided on. The roll off was held on
Woods Hall alleys and the Castle POINTS
won the first two games straight. rms
gives them a beautiful trophy and the
title of champion.
Thu team that carried the Castle Points
eolors this season proved itself far better
than last years quintette. The TOURIST
Cyclers of Paterson won the trophy IN
1887; the Clio Wheelmen were second then,
as they are now, and the Nantes were
third. The latter team is third this year.
Last year the Castle Points We're buried
badly.
When the series in which the Castle
Points and the Clos tied was being rolled
on the formers alleys, the visitors had a
lead of IA pins in the fourth frame, and IL
looked like a walkover. In order to save
time and trouble the Clos had decided to
forfeit the second game of that series be-
cause they felt that the first was won
easily. The Castle Points fooled them
and not only won the game that seemed
lost but the next. The North hudson
County Cyclers and the Hamilton Wheel
men had their own troubles struggling to
leave each other at the tail end. The
North Hudsons got out of the position by
one game. The scores follow
