1t Is strange, indeed. to look back upon

contrast them with the new methods. In

little Surrey town; and a coachman thought
himself lucky IL he could force his way
from Westminster to Epson in twelve or
fourteen hours without dislodging a wheel
en- route. None but the richest class could
afford to drive there at all, for those were
days when 7tradesmen thought like John

BOWLING AT TAKOMA PARK.
Team From the City Takes All Three
Games

The club house of the Takoma Club and
Library at Takoma Park, D. c., was the
scene last night OF an interesting bowling
contest. The contesting teams were COM
posed. respectively, OF five members from
the city and five members Of the Takoma
Club. The city players came out victorious
in every game.
The total number OF points scored In the
three games by the local players was 2. 1885,
In the first game they scored TAI points
second game 731 and In the third game S63
The Takoma Club scored 688 points in the
first game, 663 ip the second and 695 in the
last. making total of 2,O44 points.
This Is the first contest which has taken
place on these alleys since they were built
q few weeks ago, and the scoring of the Ia
koma Club team Is considered an excellent
showing, inasmuch as the members have
had but little practice and are still novices
at the game. 1t is expected that next fall
the club will organize a team and enter
the District championship series.
The feature work of the evening was done
by Thomas Harlow, E. r. Ford and H. E.
Rice Of the District team. while the work of
DR.. A. V. Parsons, Frank G. Favorte and
Norman Jackson of the Takoma Club was
of the highest order
The scores of the teams and players are
