to be for the interests of Masonry. Of the 10
petitioners for new lodge, Asa A. Howes is
the only survivor. The petitioners were grant

was the first master. Hon. Seth L. Milliken
was the first candidate to be given the first
degree The lodge was granted charter by
the Grand Lodge in 1865. Asa A. Howes was
marshal. In 1870 the lodge attended the ded-

in 1873 the lodge worked the third degree at
the Grand Lodge, with L. W. Pendleton, W.

candidate on that occasion survives, and was
present at the celebration of the 5Oth ann-

in 1875. when the Grand Master of Maine per-
formed the service. In 1879 125 members Of
the lodge assisted in the dedication of the new
Masonic Temple.

% Plain, honest John Edgerly drove

not much of farm plat his parents
had left him, but it brought him
living.
More than once he had been tempt
ed to sell out and invest in some small
business in the brisk, promising city.
He had become cured of that, how
ever, during the last month. Several
Venturesome young fellows like him
self had tried metropolitan ambition
and had returned home seedy, dis
consulate and sick Of an experience
that had turned out hollow and I'M
friendly.
Then, too, just that bright, lovely
morning John had made up his mind
to something. He had been keeping
company with Vera Brooke for some
time back. Vera was modest and
humble as himself, but he believed
she liked him.
'PH settle down." ruminated John
contentedly. Eyes, that's the best
way"
It looked so to him. Vera would
make an ideal wife. Her folks were
poor, she would appreciate a good
home. Small as the little homestead
was, it was comfortable and fairly
furnished. Love would beaUtify it.
They would work together and save,
and some day they might own a bet
ter place in the town, like Judge Grin
nell and his naughty empress of a
daughter, Ivy.
''PlI ask Vera this very evening"
resolved John, and was happy in the
thought.

What might be called the first Of

gate those who are in the bowling
game for profit from those who roll
for pleasure and recreation was fired
yesterday. In an exclusive statement
TO The Tribune Elmer L. DUNCAN, pres
dent Of the National Bowling Asso-
citation, explained the why's and where
fores of this latest idea in tenpins as
follows:
THE ten years of the history Of the
National Bowling Association and the
developments Of the last years, par
ticularly Of the last few months, all
show that bowling equipment manu-
facturers, the alley proprietor and his
employees and the man who lives on
the game must hive by themselves,
and that the vast army of men who
play and do all the paying for the fun
of II should go in another direction
while these selfish interests were
in our ccunsels, and thus influencing
our actions to some extent, they did
not support the organization or en-
courage the annual tournaments, be-
cause the tournaments temporarily UNI
settled their home business.
The manufacturers objected 70 our
adoption o. replaned alleys for tourna-
ment purposes, because there was no
sale Of new alleys nor profit for them
in that programme. The alley owners
objected 10 a tournament rolled on
brand new alleys lest those alleys
might remain part Of a new bowling
establishment, bringing new compe-
tition. In other words, we are damned
II We do and damned if we don't.
They claimed that we were too late
in holding our tournaments; that this
was no year and New York no place
for a tournament; that we were not
strongly organized. They fought the
recognition Of duckpins by this asso-
citation, and threatened dire conse-
quences if we should schedule them in
cur annual tournaments. But these
business interests secede and then com
bine, arranging for tournament in

this would not be consistency.
They helped the loaded ball agita-

the solution and adopted it, they are
trying to forget the whole subject, as
well as the solution, because we may
become critics as TO the manufacture
Of ball for which we pay SIS
The conclusion is that the business
OF the game opposes Us instead Of
helping US, and that wherever and
whenever those business interests
imagine our wants are contrary TO
theirs they propose to curb and dictate

summer, and il would not be surprising
If rules were promulgated at the
earliest moment sharply defining the
amateur in bowling, as in other lines

fessionals from amateur competition.

several "closed" leagues in this city
