the course of Senator J. C. Noel in his
effort to defeat the confirmation of w
F. Rhea as a member of the State Cor
porationCommission, and thereby to pre-
serve the purity of the Virginia ju-
dicary untarnished."
Mr.. John W. Eckman, when he took
charge of the convention as it's presid-
ing officer, made few we'll chosen re-
marks expressive of his appreciation of
the honor. After the reports had been
made by the committees, he announced
the first business in order was the cleo
tion of a member of the State Execu-
tive Committee for the Ninth District.
Mr.. j. Williamson McGavock, who had
held that position for the past four
years, was then nominated to succeed
himself and was unanimously elected.
The chairman then announced that
the next business of the convention was
the election of two delegates from the
Ninth District to the National Conven-
tion. Thereupon, T. ]. Muncey, of
Bland, with very beautiful and elo-
| quent speech, nominated Jos. S. Giles
pie, of Tazewell, as one of the dele
gates. This nomination was seconded
by A. B. Ratliff, of Buchanan county,
in a clever, brief speech.
l.. p. Summers, of Washington coun-
ty, received recognition from the chair
man, and placed the name of ]. w.
McGavock before the convention as one
of the delegates. Mr.. Summers made
strong and entertaining address. His
nomination was seconded by J. L.
Gleaves, and VIM. c. Pendleton second
ed the nomination of both Messrs. Gil
lespie and McGavock Upon motion,
nominations were then closed and Jos.
S. Gillespie and j. w. McGavock were
elected by acclamation as delegates tc
the National Convention.
The next business was the election OF
two alternates. A. P. Gillespie pre-,
sented the name of John H. Catron, OF
Scott county, and ]. B. Johnson, OF Rus.
sell county, placed in nomination Geo.
w. Gilmer, of that county. These two
gentlemen were unanimously elected
alternates to the National Convention
The chair then stated that the mex
business would be the selection of al
elector for the district L. P. Summers
placed the name of A. P. Crockett, o1
Wise county, before the convention
and he was unanimously chosen.
The convention deemed it advisabl,
to follow the time-honored custom o.
the Republicans of this district not t.
instruct the delegates, and Messrs
Gillespie and McGavock go to the Ma
tional Convention uninstructed. They
were known to be and are Taft men
and will vote for his nomination at Chi
cago.
The convention was a large one anC
was composed of representative mel
from the various counties of the dis
trict. Among them were some VIII,

Season Bids Fair to Be the Greatest
In Sthe History of the Sport
in This City
o'DoMMELL. is MANAGER

The good old winter pastime---
bowling--is already on In full swing
In town, and 1t is confidently believed
that the coming season will be one of
the most successful in the history of
the sport In New Haven. While the
game Is several years old. 1t is only
during the last five or six years that
there has been any great boom, In
bowling here, but during that period
the various alleys in the city have
done rushing business. Last wins
ter, during the hard times, there was
a slight falling off ON some of the all
leys, but this year the enthusiasm that
more than make up for the conditiona
that existed last year.
The fine alleys of the Young Men'a
Republican club were opened few
days ago, after being put in perfect
shape by two of New York's expert
alley doctors. Each of the four alleys
was planed by hand, being the only
ones in the city to undergo that treatt
ment, and as a consequence they are
in better condition that ever. Mem.
bers Of the club are daily practicing.
and already some fine scores have
been made. Messrs. Powell and Linz
qulst still hold the lease Of the club
alleys, but this year they have turned
the active management over to Jack
|ODonnell, the popular overseer OF the
alleys during the past three years.
Mr.. O'Donnells long experience In the
game has amply qualified him for the
responsible position which he has ass
sumed. and 1t is generally agreed that
the management could no, have found
better man for the place.
The first tournament at the club
will start about the middle of this
month, and, as usual, there will be
ten teams in the race. The club viii
not enter a team In the City league
this year, and the so-called champions
ship of the city will have to go to
some other team. Last year first
honors easily fell to the young repub-
licans, and the trick could doubtless
be duplicated this year had the club
seen fit to enter team.

year in beating all corners, including
the interstate team, leaves the club
the undisputed champion Of the city.
and 1t is believed that representn-
tive five could be picked from tho
clubs ranks that could beat any team
in the state. The management feels
confident that the club has the goods"
and during the winter there will
doubtless be plenty Of chances to pro-
duce those goods.
Following the first tournament a
longer and more important tourna-
ment will be started, which will be
carried into the early spring. AT the
present time the Trimmers hold the
club championship, having won the
title in two successive tournaments.
The Tuxedo and Johnson's alleys in
Orange street are doing plenty Of bus
mess these days also. and everybody
agrees that there will be great times
with the pins this winter.
