Bowling Events.

Friday night last the Colts, headed by the inevitable George Fraser, mixed things at the Casino with the once champion Shannon team and defeated them by the close margin of Is pins. The Colts have not been in existence very long, having lost their first two games to the Inde- pendents, but they are travelling a steady road and after a little more practice will make things interestE ing for all the teams in camp.
 What has happened to the Shan non team of late cannot be said, but it has been whispered around that the boys are so proud of their new shirts that they forgot to bowl. However, they lost their grip in the first game, when they allowed the Colts to run so far ahead as to make it impossible to catch tip. The Shan non came out ahead in the second and third games, but eoult not make up for the lost ground. Neither team scored high due to the fact that new pins and straight alleys mean that the ball must be delivered in the rIgnL pIace Tn order to get strikes. Perhaps the Shannon boys will settle down again and in the future will put up their old time games. The following is the secret

JOE WHEELER, a veteran of two wars, is dead. He was one of the most popular commanders of his day, and deserved the sobriquet of Fighting Joe," by which he was af- fectionately known by the boys who wore the gray. Joe Wheeler, like most of those on either side who bore the brunt of the battle, was big enough, and brave enough, to forget the "late unpleasantness," and when war with Spain was declared, he was among the first to draw his sword for the country he so dearly loved. He was in the first battle on Cuban soil, which revived his old time war spirit carrying him back to the days when he fought under the stars and bars, and unconsciously he gave vent to the old battle cry "Give the Yankees he'll" Many of the old soldier boys who wore the gray, and those also of more recent years, read of his death with deep sorrow, feeling that they had lost personal friend.
