q. II. Berrey's Vacation.

Q. II. Berrey leaves today on tbs
Australia for an extended trip to the
States and to enjoy a well-earned va
cation that his indefatigable labors
rendered necessary for his health.
Since 1896 Mr.. Berrey has been the
active manager of the Hawaiian Mer-
camille Agency, which now, mostly
through his energy, is recognized as
one OF the most needful and influential
OF our many metropolitan institutions.
From a business standpoint, Mr.. Ber-
rey has become a compendium of
knowledge OF commercial and financial
matters, and by reason OF capacity for
obtaining and classifying information
ne has given through the commercial
reports OF the agency as fine facilities
as such agencies furnish in even the
larger cities Of the United States. Mr..
Berrey's wife accompanies him.

RECORD PRICE FOR GREAT AUKS EGG.

From The London Mail.
The first bid for the hitherto unrecOrded egg
of the great aux at Mr.. StevenS'S auction rooms

Even the smaller and in comparison poor
specimen, which was also offered yesterday
fetched $50 guineas-fVe guineas more than in
1894. when il brought its lucky owner 10
guineas.
The history of this particular egg is interest
ing. A young fellow attended a furniture sale
in Kent. riding to the place his bicycle.
Among some odd fossils he caught sight of two
large eggs Under ordinary circumstances he
would have got the lot for about eight shiIIings,
but who wanted the fossils started bid
ding, and him up TO 36 shiIlings.
In the end the eggs which travelled home tied
up in pocket handkerchief on the back of the
bicyclst, turned out TO be those of the great aux
and one of them proving a handsome specimen
fetched. though cracked. go guineas in 1894.
The increase in prices for these eggs has Of
late years been very remarkable In 1906 an egg
sold at Stevenss for 20 guineas. Four
duplicates belonging to the Royal College Of
Surgeons averaged $50 apiece in 1863 One of
these in 1887 brought f16S. a year later another
specimen. bought privately for Els in 1851. was

In 1892 Sir Vauncey Crewe had TO give 800
gUineas for historical specimen, and twice
that sum in the same year purchased a stuffed
great aux and its egg. Since then cracked

are used and a ball not to exceed inches in
diameter. The ball must be solid and without
finger holes. The rules for this game provide
that balls must be rolled down the alley, not
cast or thrown" \ further provision is to the
effect that "poodles," balls rolled down the
gutter are fair balls, and any pin pins
which they may get must be recovered and
paced to the credit of the bowler. DeadwOOd
is not removed from the alleys, and any pins
knocked down by the deadwood must be placed
to the credit of the bowler"
In addition to these games many of the crack
bowlers showed their skill in the "stech" or
battle game, which is played with nine pins
set up in the shape of a diamond, with the king
Fin in the centre The bowler is entitled to three
balls, and if he makes all the pins he counts
nine; if only the king pin remains standing he
counts twelve.
For the benefit of the old time players there
were two alleys. some distance away from the
regular Enclosure, where the old fashioned game
with nine pins could be played. These alleys
were only 16 inches wide, while the ten pin
regulation alleys were IL inches in width. This
was the game which became 50 popular about
sixty years ago that laws were passed prohibit
ing it except under certain restrictions, To get
around the law the game of nine pins was
changed by adding another pin. and the frame
which with nine pins had been diamond shaped
became triangular as it is to-day

Four alleys in the basement of a permanent
building had been reserved for the women, and
there one could see young women and old, many
fat women and some who were less so, give
exhibitions of skill in the game of bowling that
were worth the price of admission. The results

could gain adequate idea of a contest from
a score card. The battles were as picturesque

precision and accuracy of experts, and there
