FOR RICHMOND TOURNEY

II Is probable that the great
est number of bosyiers that have
ever left this city to compete in
n tourney In another town will
go from here next Saturday
morning to take part I'm the
games In Richmond. The amount
of interest being shown I'm tho
tourney to be held In that city is
much greater than any evidenced
here in the past, and the result
Is being shown in the number of
the announced entrants.
The local BOWERS Will leave
here next Saturday morning on n
special car. II Is practically GER
tain that there Will be at least
100 who Will make the trip. and
Il is thought that the local men
will carry off a large share OF
the prizes. The entry list from
this city will exceed TINT Of amy
other town, with the exception
of Richmond itself.
