 The bowling season has started with rush and the foundry boys seem to be "all the candy" Last Wednesday evening they defeated the crack assay office team by 211 pins and last night the cyanide plant team went down to defeat at the hands ofthe foundry team by a total score of IT pins. The games are attended by a large crowd of rooters armed with horns and other imple ments of torture and what they do to the players cannot be explained on paper-you must be there and find out for yourself. There seems to be a little misunderstanding about the different trophies. The large silver trophy is held by the butchers team, who won it from the foundry and successfully de- fended it against the machine shop team two years ago. The other cup was cast by the foundry and is held by the Mexican team, who would have taken it home to the Mexican had they been able to carry it, but owing to it's weight were compelled to leave it at the Club. No other club thinks it worth while to bowl for it unless they can make ar. engagements with the company to sell it back to them for old scrap iron. It is rumored that both the Mexican and machinists are after the scalps of the foundry quiutette. It is to be hoped that all the different departments will organize teams and form schedule of games to be played during the winter. ) CHALLENeE-Owing to the poor scores made by the first foundry team of bowlers, the second foundry team hereby challenges the first team to play game on next Wednesday night at the Club, for an oyster supper,
