A Wonderful Country.

An Irish contractor in San Francisco
sent to Ireland for his father to joir
him. The journey was a great event
for the old man, who had lived in rural
districts all his life, and he reached Sar
Francisco much excited.
After several days of sightseeing his
son resumed his business and suggested
that his father should visit the Preside.
"And phwat's the Presidio?'' asked
the old man.
"The Preside, father, is the govern
ment reservation for the soldiers-fne

At the end of strenuous day the ole

comparing them with the small huts OF
his old home. Seeing a soldier mean he
tapped him on the shoulder.

Was a North Carolinian by birth.
When a young mar he cast his lot with
us. Married Addie Pitts and settled on
Peachload creek. He made us a useful
citizen; was Industrious, honest, sober
and law-abiding. He knew what was
right and dared to do it. 1t made nc
difference how much commotion was in
the settlement he was on the side OF
the best men. HIS trade carried him
into the homes of u people, where he
conducted himself as a gentleman. He
was reserved in and never
thrust himself forward as a know all,
but waited to be drawn out on the cur
rent affairs of the country. His health
failed him this year and he went into a
gradual decline. On yesterday morn
ing, May 18th, 1903, he left US. Today
he will be buried at Friendship church
with the Pitts family. He knew his
work was finished on earth and said he
was ready to go. What a blessing it is
toa mar that he is not afraid to meet
his Maker!
He was a son of Joe Sweeney, Gen.

TUXEDO TEAM WINS
Takes Seven Games Out of Twelve in Exciting Two
 Men Match.
HUBER AVERAGES 2oo.3
Mix and Ruchter Win First Four Out of Five, But Tuxcdos Over
 take Them.

In one of the most exciting two-men matches ever held in this city, Huber and Collett representing the Tuxedo alleys, defeated Mix and Buchter from the Republican club alleys last evening at the Tuxedo alleys in seven out or twelve games of the first of the home and home series of twenty-f Ave games between the two teams
 The four players are the four best in the city and probably the four best in the state and the match between them attracted large and enthusiastic crowd of bowling fans. The rolling was splendid, Huber leading with an aver age of 9OO3 Mix of the Y. M. R. c. team, captured high single with score of 94s. while Buchter had second high single with 23S.
 With the series at the close of the fifth game, four to one against them the home rollers braced and slowly climbed away until they obtained the lead and slowly increased their lead un- til at the end of the battle they were two games to the good. The closeness of the struggle may be clearly pictured from the elQseness of the scores. In the second game the Republican clut team won out by one pin and in the fifth game the same thing was repeat. ed. the score being 4l5 to IA in favor oi the visiting two men.
 The bowling of Huber after the first game was the feature of the battle. Tn, Iron man reeled off 200 scores without the slightest sign of exhaustion. Col lett rolled next best to Huber, havins an average of 19l.sS for the twelv, games. Mix's average was 191 ant Ruchter's 1ss.7 The scores in thes twelve games. the first of twenty -fv. being rolled between the two teams were far better than the average fol twelve games rolled at Cincinnati. The crowd which witnessed th, struggle witnessed 3 series of game which caused such enthusiasm and ex citement as has never been displsye, ] at a match of it's kind before.
 The date for the remaining thirteer games which will be rolled at the Y. NJ i R. C. alleys has not been decided o vet. but it no doubt will be rolled dur ing the early part of next week. ]

The morning journal-courier., 1908-02-27

Many New Haven autoiss are watching the result of the New York to Paris automobile race merely for the sake of making comparisons of the work done by the different cars entered It has been figured out that the average distance travelled by car each year Is 5000 miles, and the big test now under way, if finished, will show that it Is possible for a car to be driven 10000 miles in six months, or four times as many miles as the or dinary car is driven in one year. The big race will prove frightful strain on the cars and if the contest Is fn- ished it will prove a revelation in au- tomoble circles.
