The last game was very unusual con-
test, and one which brought the keenest
disappointment for the Columbias. Tney
bowled a game which wins in a hundred
games, yet went down by one pin to their
rivals. The Carols had al the best of
the luck, having few splits, while several
of these fell to the lot of the visiting five.
In the last frame, Mason made but three
pins on spare-a play which cost the
game. In this inning Scanlon also took a
chance and missed 1t, the successful &C
cOmplishment of which would have brought
victory to his side, this consisted of making
an effort at 6-7-10. The score follows:

The bud uplifting to reach her lips,
And failing, kiss her fingers.

Deep in their bosom hold her.

Town poets twang their Tyres and sing,
They praise my lovely looks;
Rhymed catalogues OF flowers they bring
That they have learned from books;
They know the name but not the face,
OF many a wildwood flower;
They could rot find its growing place,
Nor guess its blossoming hour.
They sing my flowers, my rose ard may,
My flags and eglan;ine;
The kind Of things make in play
They in their rtyme-wresths Irvine,
They miss the little lovely weeds
That in my gowns mem Iurk;
They do not note the splendid seeds

To keep men glad and strong;
Across the fields, green by my toll,
Man drives his flock along.

The Original Summer Girl.

After much biologic research,
From evidence strong, believe
That | have found out,
Beyond shadow Of doubt,
That the first Summer Girl was Eve.
She had unconventional ways,
She lived out-of-doors. and all that;
She was tanned by the sun
Until brown as a bun,
For she roamed round without any lat.
To small garden party she went,
Where the men were exceedingly few;
But she captured mate
And settled her fate,
As often these Su amer Girls do.
Now, my statement, Of course. ! have proved,
But as evidence that isn't all;
Summer Girl she
Is conceded 10 be
Because she stayed there till the Fall.

With how sublime 4 courage
You face the ciubroom fire;
With what prophetic wisdom
You speak the warning word,
Choosing the happy moment
When things have Just occurred!

Good for the swollen head,
How fools rush in serencly
Where angels fear TO tread;
But here the common mortal.

To bear the present hurt,
That you On wounded honor
Must dump your little dirt?

Safe in 4 sea-iocked land,
While those you sInirch are holding
Their lives within their hand

Upon fighters game;
But you who pass opinions
On work but half begun,
Please give US your CREDENTIALS,
