Club and individuals Earning Them.
The Club Prizes, all Won by Tap
kaow, now Ornament their Rooms.
Tuesday night at the Tapkaow Club
rooms in this city, the captains repre-
senting the teams composing the Nor
ris and Union Bowling League met
for the purpose of distributing the
prizes won by the contestants.
The Tapkaow team was represented
by Captain S. S. Childs, Mr.. Eugene
Cook was present from Madison, Mr..
V. Lum represented Chatham, William
Coggeshall, of the Hillcrest team, was
among the number, and Mr.. A. Con-
way was the delegate of the Y. M. G. A.
team.
President Daniel S. Voorhees,, of
Morristown, called the meeting to
order and the formal announcement
of the names of the winners of the
prizes was made. Just as the presi-
dent was about to make the presenta-
tionS, some one, a winner of one of the
prizes, introduced a resolution pro-
viding against speeches on the part of
any member accepting trophy. This
was adopted unanimously and then
the distribution of awards proceeded
without embarrassment.
Senator Childs accepted the club
prize for Tapkaow with pleasing
smile and graceful bow. He also re-
ooivoJ tl,o ouyar1 for birl, avaraUo on
behalf of the Tapkaow team in the
same graceful and silent manner. The
Member from Somerset then had his
cup filled to overfiowing when Presi-
dent Voorhees, congratulated him on
the fact that he had made the highest
score, and had, therefore, earned the
medal for that distinction. Up to
this time President VOORHEES, and the
senator had held the entire proceed
ings without interruption except such
as came from the vociferous applause
of the delegates present, which, by
the way, had not been tabooed.
Mr. Eugene Cook, of Madison, was
instructed to step forward and receive
the honors his prowess had entitled
him to. This he did with a charm Of
dignity that rivaled that of the sena-
tor who had preceded him. Mr.. Cooks
claim to fame rested upon the number
of spares he had succeeded in negotiat-
ing during the progress of the matches
for the championship. His speech was
an exact duplicate of those that had
already been thought of, but not ut
tered.
When Mr.. Cook left the calcium
light the center of the stage was taken
by Fish and Game Commissioner d. p
Mcclellan, who had demonstrated that
he was the best bowler of the two
counties by rolling the highest aver
age. Mr.. voorhees,, who had mon
opoly on eloquence, then made one of
the very prettiest and happiest ora
torical efforts of his career. Mr.. Nc
Clellan responded with the same con-
ventional smile and beam used by other
prize winners. This ended the formal
presentation, and on motion the presi-
dent named MesSrs. Cook, Conway and
Coggeshall a committee to secure the
trophies not already purchased.
After this, the Tapkaow Choir, under
the leadership of Mr.. William Harten-
stein, was permitted to burst on the
scene. For two or three hours a mu-
sical treat, with ice cream, coffee and
sandwiches on the side, was indulged
in. Mr.. Conway, an entertainer of no
mean ability, told of Kelly's Dream,
and other poetical effusions disturbed
the atmosphere.
The evening was a very enjoyable
one and the boys all feel that the in
terests oftrue sporthave been advanced
by the seasons interchange of games.
