Rolled by Miss Frances Hunt.
Practically all the Country club MEM
bers, who are back to the city, were
out yesterday to witness the beginning
of the two days tennis tournament
marking the formal opening of the
clubs enlarged and remodelled home.
They enjoyed n series of lively and
closely contested games, and between
times inspected the additions and reno
vations of the house.
In the evening the new bowling alleys
were opened and an informal reception
given by the house committee. Today,
the tournament will conclude, and in
the evening there will be bowling

of the bowling. He graciously trans
ferred his privilege to Miss Frances
Hunt, who is an enthusiastic bowler.
The honor of rolling the second ball
was accorded to n. G. Robertson. en-
president of the club and one of the
directors. The first spare was made
by DR.. Claude w. Walker; the first
strike by A. G. Hunt, and the first
game by John Fl. Brooks. Fourteen
members participated in the first game.
The alleys are located in one-story
addition extending from the northern
end of the main building. They were
built by the Brunswick-Bal company
and are said to be the best in these
parts. An expert has been engaged to
attend the alleys and give instructions
to members. Bowling promises to be
feature of the clubs winter entertain
ment. For the present only adults will
