NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Collector
stranahan, of this port, yesterday re-
ceived word from the treasury depart"
ment that IL would not contest de-
cision given by the United States
court OF Appeals in favor of Albert
Lorsch & Co., of this city, governing
the classification of certain imported
glass canoes made in Imitation of jade
Lorsch & co. contended that, as the
canoes were less than an inch wide or
thick although more than an inch
long, they should be classed as imita-
tion jewels and admitted at twenty
per cent ad valorem. The government
held that they were manufactures of
glass and assessable at forty per cent.
The court decided that as the word
dimensions" was used in the law, the
canoes were imitation jewels, as they
exceeded an inch in only one dimen-
sion.

congress. The Western Bowling con-
gress means that bowlers are devoting
their attention to the development of
the game in the west. and will not
longer be subject to the dictations of
New York, the eastern metropolis. It
means that western bowlers have
thrown off the yoke of dicta torial in
fiuence and will henceforth provide
ways and means each year for holding
championship tournament in which
the great army of bowlers who reside
In the west may participate without
mourning the heavy expense, which In
the past has practically barred them
from competing in like affairs.
The gathering at Salt Lake March
9TH promises to be a representative one
and there is little doubt that some Of
the clubs who will compete in this
tournament are equal, if not superior
in skill, to any bowlers the world can
produce. The Paulsons of Denver,
holders of the worlds record for a
three game series, and the Garnitas,
champions of the big telegraphic
match, will likely both compete in this
event. Besides the Brunswicks, an
other aggregation of skilled veterans
the Democratic club will compete. Los
angeles, Spokane, Butte, Seattle, Port
land, San Francisco and Pocatello will
all enter strong teams, and a number
of other cities will be represented by
two men teams and individuals.
The cheap rates offered by the rail-
roads Will have good effect on in
creasing the attendance, and together
with the active support the press is
giving. make doubly sure the success
of the tournament.
The arrangement committees in Salt
Lake are planning royal reception
for the visiting bowlers. and the Hosts
of Zion promise to make this event
red letter day in the history of that
beautiful city. where western hospital
lty is dispensed with a generous hand.

BOWLERS PREPARE
FOR TOURNAMENT
ANNUAL EVENT TO BE HELD AT
SALT LAKE
Teams Will Be Entered From Every
City of Pacific Slope and Middle
West - Plans for a
Royal Time

AS the time draws near for the open
ing of the first annual tournament of
the Western Bowling congress at Salt
Lake March Z, the interest in bowl
ing circles becomes more intense, and
from all over the west come reports
of the most flattering nature, which
presage a brilliant success for the big
event.
1t is now assured that a number of
the strongest aggregations of bowlers
that it is possible to get together in
the west, will be on hand to compete
for the championships and the rich
prizes that will be awarded by the
congress.
Bowlers who attend this tournament
will find that better condition pre-
walls in awarding the prizes, the
stated as soon as the entries close,
than has heretofore been the case in
the tournaments held under the aus
pices of the American Bowling con-
gress.
Bowlers who in the past have held
aloof, and looked askance at the efforts
of those who were Instrumental in
launching the new organization, and
who no doubt felt that such an organl-
zation could not meet with success, can
now be assured that a brilliant future
stretches out before the Western
Bowling congress.
A little less than a year ago this
organization was perfected at a meet
ing in Spokane, Washington, by few
enthusiastic devotees of the sport, and
backed by those who had ultimate
faith in the success of the movement.
Since that time its rapid advance
ment in popular favor has been the
marvel and envy Of kindred organiza-
tions.
The Western Bowling congress has
grown in size and Importance until it
Is now the acknowledged governing
body of this popular sport west of the
Missouri river.
Contrary to the general belief the
Western Bowling congress does not
antagonize like organizations, and
clubs or city organizations may hold
membership in this organization and
the American Bowling congress at the
same time.
But there are rules I'm the w. b. C.
that allow bowlers a greater latitude
than the new rules adopted by the
A. Il. c. at their last convention. In
the w. B. G. a bowler's record will
count whether made on alleys equipped
with round or fiat cutters.
In the w. II. c. Individual bowlers
may join the organization. whether
identified with any bowling club or not,
and such membership entities them to
compete In any annual or special
tournament OF the Western Bowling
