BOWLNfi AT I CAPE MAY C0N6RESS WINS TOURNAMENT I Some Personal Mention of Those I Bowling on the Diiferent Alleys The regular weekly bowling tourna- ( ment between Congress and Stockton ( took place Monday evening at the Congress bowling alleys. The natural supposition trom the way these games have been running would be Congress , won and this was exactly what hap- , pened. Tue three games were rather of an uninteresting nature as they were won by thirty points and over. The individual score by games was : 1 STOCKTON. 1st. 2nd.. 3rd. 89 81 68 Aushutz, 87 . 87 73 Simmington, 95 79 82 ' Miller. « 84 18 CONGRESS. N j 74 91/ _ 81 Lumrnis, 81 85 80 J Fendersou, 82 96 96 ( Hughes, *72 98 101 The first game looked as though Stockton would have it all tbeir own way .as they went from the first box in which both were tie right up the line and finished forty-six points to the good. Tne game on the whole was a cut and drieu affair after the second One interesting feature occurred, j when Miller of the Stockton made a very difficult and almost impossible spare, ^fter sending down a ball which looked iike a sure strike < received a split. The Dins left standing were the two end ones, seven and ten. With great precision he rolled the second ball which looked a^ though it would go off the alley but it caught the pin on the side, shot it the alley and brought down the other^piu, giving. him a spare. The team scores by frames for first • game were : CONGRESS. 1st— 32 2nd— 57 3rd-94 4th- 117 ' 5th— 150 6th— 180 7th— 212 8th— 246 i 9 th— 276 10th— 809 STOCKTON. 1st— 32 2nd— 80 3rd -121 45th— 151 5th— 184 6th— 221 7th-257 8th -285 9tn— 317 10th— 335 The second game was even less interesting than the first. No interesting events"occurred whatever, and was taken by just as large a margin as the first, the difference being that Congress was the winner instead of Stockton. Team scores by boxes for this game wire: STOCKTON. 1st— 36 2nd— 67 3rd -99 , 4th— 131 6th— 164 6th— 195 7th— 230 8th— 265 9th— 307 10th— 331 CONGRESS. 1st— 36 2nd— 70 3rd— 107 4th— 149 5th— 180 6th— 221 7th— 260 8th— 289 9th— 826 10th— 365 In the third game Congress repeated 1 their victory of the second by even a still greater margin. The only excep- | tion features of this game was a rather good duck pin score by Hughes of one hundred and one. "The team scores boxes were. STOCKTON. I 1st— 25 2nd— 51 3rd— 79 4th— 112 | 5th— 148 6th— 172 7th— 199 8th— 233 9th— 267 10th — 801 CONGRESS 1st— 35 2nd— 73 3rd— 100 4th -136 5th — 181 6th — 220 7th-252 8th-286 , 9th— 318 10th— 358 At the Congress bowling alley the score established by George Dor- " I ner in the men's ten pins was broken Mr. Sealey, who raised it to two hundred and forty-seven.

THE CHILDREN'S 1 CARNIVAL * E A NUMBER OF FANCY DANCES J Delighted Children Crowd Ball Room and Each Receive Bon-bons, Prizes Awarded j The grand carnival for the little chilf dren was held last night in the Stockton ball room. Tne greatest success r of this brilliant affair was -the cute and thorough way the little children went r through the intricate phases ot the old ^ fashioned May Pole dance. The brilliant ribbons being wrapped around the j pole as the little toto in their pretty frocks, daintily tripped in and out in g time to the music was a sight which t was worth going miles to see. Another feature which caught and held the attention of the brilliant throng of well dressed ladies and genj tlejnen was the' grand triumphal 0 march. This march was of. the most q complicated nature and tboee who made such a success of it deserye a great 0 deal of credit. The musical chaits j were the cause of a great deal of fun q and excitement for the little ones who 0 took part as well as the elder aud'eoce. This feature consisted of a long row of chairs which extended almost the entire leng'h of the ball room. The dance starts off with all the children seated waiting for the music to rea h a certain best. When it comes to this 0 point all stand up and start to march in time with the music. After the space of a few bars it is the signal for eVery 0 one to run for a chair. This part of 0 the program was exceptionally well 0 carried out as all the children enjoyed the rough and tumble of the excite- _ ment in procuring a chair. The Paul "Jones which has always 2 been very popular was another exceed1 ingjjf popular feature of the carnival. The grand event of the evening according to children's Idea of the affair whs the bountiful distribution of bon n bons, and prizes given by the a proprietor of the Stockton, B. A. e Smith. With joyoixs shoots and burst e of unrestrained laughter the more pre,t coeious surrounded Lucien O. Carpen- 1 e ter. the master of ceremonies, while j n even the more tiniid ones showed by ! i- their smiling countenances that the j e grand windup of the evening's pleasure g had at last come. After having quieted ; the natural enthusiasm of the tiny tots ; to some extent, Mr. Carpenter dis- 1 !, tributed the prizes to the lucky winners.
