VISITORS LOST MATCH
BY A SOLITARY PIN
With an Easy Spare to Get, Newman
Missed and the Arcanum Had Two
of Three Games.

One of the closest matches that has
been played in the triangular league
this winter was that on Tuesday eve
ming between the Arcanam club five
and the New London Elks' team on the
local alleys. The deciding game was
won by a single pin by the Arcanum
team.
The first game went to New Lon
don by margin of IA pins, after
which the local five improved and New
London dropped so that the second
game was the Arcanums by "a pins.
The rubber Yves the closest kind of a
fight. With every one finished except
Newman, and he having a bali left
and two easy pins to get. the score
was 500 to 1893. On that ball depended
the game, for one pin would tie and
both pins would win it. He is one Of
the careful bowlers of the Elks, but
he was too nervous Tuesday evening,
and failed to hit, giving the game TO
the Arcanum club, and likewise the
match The high single was 100,
made by Newman, while Stevens made
the high total SIG, Crawford also go
ing over the 500 mark. The summary

far as he is personally concerned he is
already committed to the removal, pro-

STABILITY of erecting a works in this

After Deep River Concern.
A Deep River despatch Tuesday
said:
THE Pratt-Read Piano Player Ac-
ton company recently formed in this
place, received yesterday hattering in
ducements from the Norwich Business
Mems association to locate in that city.
A fine tract OF land $50 feet front, To-
Gated near the railroad, with all facili-
ties for shipping Of goods, is at the
companyS disposal, The player pro-
duced by this company is said to be
the best on the market, and 1t is the
intention of the company to Increase
its raant and put another player on the
market to compete with the cheaper
grades. No action has been taken as
vet, but a meeting of the company
will be held soon to consider the mat
ter. The increase Of the business Will
give employment to several hundred
hands, and it is hoped that the com
pany will not accept the Norwich peo-
pies proposition
Officers of the Business Mems assO-
citation state that efforts are being
made to get the company here. There
is an excellent site at Thamesville be-
low the paper mill where railroad and
water facilities are available, The COM
pany. it is understood, wants no bonus.
The Board of Trade is likewise in
terested in having the company locate
here and a representative has seen the
company in that regard. The many
advantages OF this city for manufae-
turing are attractive, with chean light
and power, two railroads, river trans
poration and low taxation in the
town.

your general and ten captains, ten Ia
dies to a team. Make a canvass of
your people in every part OF the town
and city. See how many each house
hold will plant. Plant them in the
front yard, In the back. yard, in boxes,
in parks, on the hills, in the valleys,
near our beautiful rivers, in fact, ev-
eryWhere.
Then every year have an annual rose
festival, which is the most beautiful
of all demonstrations. If this work is
successful you, will attract thousands
Of. people to Our city, not only at the
