The bowling department of the VAL
entine billiard parlor has been rem
dered most attractive by alley experts
and decorators in the past few weeks.
The bowling alleys, which are placed
in one long room at the rear of the
billiard room, were again opened to
the public on Wednesday evening.
During the course of improvement
of this department of the popular
amusement hall, the alleys, two in
number, have been refinished by a
Brunswick-Balke-C expert, so
that they now are in the finest shape
possible. The room has also been
treated to a new ceiling of the popu-
lar cardboard sort, strips of lathing
running with ways of the ceiling cut
the surface into squares Of three by
four feet. These painted green with
the ceiling painted white present a
pleasing sight. The side walls have
been repainted in white, so that the
room as whole is now much lighter
and much more attractive after the
improvement proceedings. The alleys
have been kept humming after they
have been ref1nished, as they are now
in even better shape than when they
were installed about a year ago.
