The Bowling Contest. 

 The bowling contest was one of the 

 warmest on record since the pastimes 

 feature became an institution of the 

 S. A. F. conventions. Ten cities were 

 represented and the Olympia alleys 

 proved in all respects admirable and 

 adequate to the occasion. The sport 

 began at 2 o'clock, but it was not until 

 11 p. m. that the last pin fell in the 

 individual championship contest that fol- 

 lowed the team contest. Chicago led 

 up to the time Philadelphia came into 

 action, and then gracefully succumbed 

 to the inevitable. The rooting was loud 

 and continuous and there was "some- 

 thing doing" every minute of the aft- 

 ernoon and evening. Following are the 

 scores :

The Mussey gold medal was for the 

 winner in three games, the contest open 

 to the high men on each of the teams in 

 the big match. Jos. Foerster, of Chi- 

 cago, won, defeating C. C. Pollworth by 

 IS pins and J. F. Wilcox by 16. It was 

 a warm contest and the result was in 

 doubt up to the ninth frame for Wilcox. 



The ladies bowled in the forenoon, 

 with the following score:
