strenuously along with the rest. not

The faculty of war horses Of know

more than once made 1t awkward for
an enemy who venturel to capture one
and get on his back.
At the battle OF Kirk. 1I45, Major
Mcdonald. having unhOrsed an Eng

mount. which was very beautiful. and
Immediately jumped upon its back.
When the English cavalry fled the
horse ran away with its cabtOr. not
withstanding all the efforts to restrain
it. nor did it stop until it was ut the
head of the regiment Of which appar-
emily its master was commander. The
melancholy and at the same time ludi-

A FAMOUS PRIVATE PARTY
DIR. Enoch Edwards was a noted
Philadelphia patriot and on the night
of July s. l116. gave Il private party
at his old colonial mansion. Elm Hill.
on FrankfOrd avenue. to which many
notables were hidden. These included
adams and jefferson. Both. ordinarily
dignified. let themselves loose this
night OF nights.

the thirteen states-in fact. to every
body and everything connected with
the triumph of the colonies There has
never been such enthusiasm over
Fourth of July fireworks as there was
at this memorable assemblage of the
elite OF the neighborhood. These fire
works had been brought by several of
the party. but the others did not know
what the bundles contained until JEFF

less expectancy they were set Off.
Skyrockets, firecrackers. pinwheels

in short every then known variety of
fireworks followed the roman candles
The affair was purely social one
and was intended to be kept strictly
secret. but in some unknown manner
the story of the fireworks and iolliii.
cation leaked out. and great was the
disappointment of the unlimited when
they learned what they had missed.
Then and there it was decided by
the City of Brotherly Love that /:
great display of fireworks should
mark July each year. which was the
date officially set by congress for q
universal celebration OF the adoption
OF the Declaration of Independence.

BOWLERS TO BRING
SUBJECT Of UNION
BEFORE ALL CLUBS
District Duckpin League
Favors Governing Body for
Local Organization.

Members Of the District Duckpin
League are looking forward to what is
thought to be the beginning of the most
promising season yet experienced by the
organization. At a recent meeting Of
the league, which is comprised of ten
teams, plans were gotten under way
for the opening date which is to inau-
gurate the eighth season about Octo-
Der l.
All Of the teams making up the roster
OF the league have signifed their in
tention of again coming under the Dis
trict Duckpin League, and the members
are looking forward toward improving
the conditions which existed last sea-
son. Secretary J. NJ Denty imparts
the Information that the league will not
allow its captains to register any
bowlet who is a member OF more than
one other team in the city during the
championship season. The fact that
many forfeitures occurred owing to the
fact that teams were made up of men
who were members of other teams in
the city brought the league to the above
action, which, 1t is hoped will be OBJ
served by other bowling organization
in the city. The District Duckpin
League and its officials favor the CEN
tralization OF the bowling interest in
the city under one head which shall
govern all organized leagues.
The officers OF the league are as fol-
lows: DR.. Z. Clyde Shade, president:
Joseph Michaud, vice president; II. r.
HALEY, treasurer; II. B. Elmer, off,
cial scorer; and J. NJ. Denty. secretary
