 The excitement over the bowling tournament is over and the best team no doubt won the money, but the finish was not very satisfactory. The assay office team showed poor sport smanship when they refused to bowl unless they could bowl with new pins. The teams should have finished the tournament with the same pius that the other teams used in the seventh series. While the foundry team showed the assay office team under, it was not able to roll up high enough score to beat the store team. The foundry missed first place by 13 pins. The store and foundry teams were defeated only once each during the series of games. Billy Fay Tor, of the foundry, won the prize of $lO for the highest individual average (l6S) and also the S5 for the highest indi vidual score, 222 pins. The Treadwell team won the spuds and the member are having invitations printed to invite their friends to a banquet in the near future. The team composed of store and office men was as follows: Mckiu- non, Summers, Mulligan, Paul and Christoe, with Manager Dan Webster as scorekeeper. Taken man for man, they played the best game and deserved to win. The scores at the finish were as follows: Store, 15,O08 pins; foundry, 14,995; assay office, 14,8l3; cyanide plant, 14,76S; Mexican, 14,3Ol; Bullion, 14,259; machine shop, 13,S67; Treadwell, 1866. Manager Lafey says no more bowling tournaments for him unless he gets his life insured.
 Billy Burke, exmayor of Sheep Creek, was over to the A. B. dance re- ceiving the congratulations of his many friends on the Island about his ap- preaching marriage, but he positively denies the charge and says some one in Juneau is trying to "knook'' him with the Douglas Island young ladies.
 There will be a bowling game soon for an oyster supper between two teams chosen by Mark Smith and Ed Bennett. The rules of the game provide that both of these gentlemen shall bowl and shall toss up for first choice of any man in either the foundry or machine shop teams. The man getting second choice shall choose two men and continue so until they have the required number of players. This will be good chance for therooters to get in their fine work.
