favorable circumstances and in a manner
which indicates that the season viii be
as good a one as the club has ever en-
joyed in his department. The attend
ance for the opening event was very
large. The spacious alleys were
so that it was with difficulty hat the
contestants could move about among
themselves they were so many. the
crush of spectators reminded one of the
most interesting nights of an exciting
tournament. The affair marked the open
ing for the club for the season practically,
in as far as the men were concerned.
Mr.. Joseph Duane, the new chairman OF
the departement was deluged with con-
gratulations upon the auspious manner in
which his branch of the club began the
year. The promises of prizes, one for
high score and one for a score nearest
127. over not to count, had the desired
effect. Good bow1ers who were anxious
to get a practice and young bowlers who
were DESTROYS of taking up the game saw
an inducement and 1ocked to the scene
of the contests with anxiety. The prizes
In both cases were silk umbrellas and the
contests were very exciting. Mr.. Richard
Duff. the chairman of last seasons COM
mittee. carried off high score prize by
making a. total of POP. David Moylan, one
of last years promising colts, finished
second with 1877, and James Sullivan, who
bowled as a substitute on last years big
team wound up in third position with
1s5. Frank Riordan showed that his eye
was as good as ever and totaled 1872 He
