PHENOMENAL BOWLING.
Rodrick Captured Silver Trophy
Through Sensational Rolling.

Although there were no regular league
games bowled last night yesterday. the
lovers of the sport had busy day, and all
the alleys in the city resounded with the
busy hum of the fast travelling balls. The
greatest interest centered around the Pal
ace alleys, as Manager Brown had hung up
a handsome silver cup for the three high
est scores. and the crack bowlers of the
District entered the competition. The bowl
ing for the prize started Wednesday and
was kept up until late hour last night,
when it was made known that Rodrick of
the Fat Mems Club had won the trophy
with the remarkable score Of 75S To
make these figures Mr. Rodrick had to hang
up three remarka BILE games of 247. 245 and
266. and it is doubtful whether these scores
have ever been eaualed before. OF course
tn Palace alleys are unusually fast. but
this fact in way reflects upon Rodricks
bowling. his competitors bowled under
similar conditions.
The crowd of onlookers was unusually
large all day. and many bowlers dropped
from the race when it was found to be i'm
possible to equal the initial score of Rod
rick. Following are some of the scores
made in the tourney.

PAROLE DEAD.
Famous Thoroughbred Died Yesterday
at Tuxedo Park.

From the New York Telegraph.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Pierre Loril-
lard, the Morning Telegraph received noti-
fcation yesterday of the death of the ia
nous racehorse Parole. from old age, at
Tuxedo Park. N. Y.
Parole was by bennington, out Of Maiden,
foaled in 1873 Had he died one day sooner
he would have been twenty-nine years old.
but his death coming on the first day of
the new year made him thirty years Of
age.
In the colors of the late Pierre Lorillard
Parole endeared himself to turfmen Of
twenty years ago by his good perform
ances. both in America and England In
1879 Mr.. Lorillard for the first time sent
stable of horses to England to race, in
charge of Trainer Jacob Pincus.
This attempt Of the American turfman to
win the classic events of the English turf
was the first time in twenty years that
good string of horses had been sent to Eng
land to race. Ten Brock having headed
the previous invasion in the sixties
American horses were not seriously re-
garded in England and the arrival of Pa
role attracted no especial attention. Parole
was then six years old and he distinguished
himself promptly by winning the popular
classic event, the City and Suburban handi-
cap, at EPSON.
The City and Suburban is at about min
and quarter. and Parole, carrying 119
POUNDS, won 1t in gallop at long odds from
field of eighteen starters The value of
the stake was about $500, but at the good
price quoted against Parole the stable was
able to win large sums in wagers.
Two years later. in 1881, Mr.. Lorillard
Won.the greatest event of the English turf,

bennington, who also won the St. Leger
the same year.
Before being sent to England Parole had
raced with success in this country, and was
one OF the best handicap horses of his day.
lie also raced well after his return from
England.
Parole was naturally great favorite
with Mr.: Lorillard by reason of his sue
cess In England. as well as his splendid
record on the American turf, and some ten
years ago was exhibited proudly by his
owner at the Morris Park course, though
old and fat. and looking like anything but
