past, according to rumor. the bowlers Of
Ideal Tent. No. 81, had kept the alleys of
the Union County capital warm with their
practise matches. Sir Knight Edward r.
F'olmar's %chivalrous team had also lost
no little sleep while ponderiag over possible
results when the knights of the pins should
come together. Newark expected to win.
OF course, but never once thought their
rivals from beyond the swamp would be
such pie" Tho contest took place an
Franks alleys. q Camfeld street. and was
attended by a number OF rooters for each
side.
Reuben Mathison was the first Eliza
beth man to face the ten wooden sol
diers. RUDE looked at them and they
looked at R~ube-nothing more. No real
damage was done. over on the Carteret
battlefield Past Commander Kaas was lead
ing the assault. His reputation had pre-
coded him. and as the ten men faced him
they trembled and got weak in the knees.
They fell. tome allege 1t was dire fear,
but Kaas says it was his craftsmanship.
Reuben Smith was less fortunate than

Virginia fame. Rube lost his head while
Captain John saved his. He threw a
Lady Maccabees' distress sign. but no Po-
cohontas came to his relief. He was easy.
Sir Knight Commander Mueller. the only

Reuben Bowkett carried off the honors
for his crowd. Sir Knight Ford just "ate

almost unbalanced some. They thought Sir
William too considerate to cause any blood
to be spilled, but not so. lie was the cham
pion slaughterer. He had no sooner cleared
for action than he grasped the ball with
that octopus grip which has come to him
by long association with the giant corpora
ton he is connected with, and when he got
through there was nothing in the horizon.
"Reuben" Peattie was discouraged at the
poor support given his column and his re-
treat was graceful. Sir Knight Sergeant
Folmar, a veteran, had come as a reserve

the first Carteret mar to whom the adj
versary showed any disposition to resent
the attack. 1t is said the pins had a grudge
against him because his name was similar
to the British monarch, and that he had
whiskers like King Edward. The sir
knight sergeant, however, got even and
planted his banner on the bulwarks.
Reuben" Adams made the last stand
for the Ideal forces. His work was the
feature OF the evening. He had never made
a century mark before in his life. Sir
Knight Recorder Buffers score was next
to Ford's. He could have done better. it

consideration for the ~vanquished caused
him to cut short the contest.
