BOWLING TOURNAMENT. 



The Bowling Tournament, held under the auspices of 

 the N. A. G., in which its members and the members of 

 the S. A. F. participated, was a great success, the friendly 

 rivalry between the teams and individuals making the 

 event an interesting one, lasting from morning until late 

 in the afternoon. 



The prizes were of high order, and those that came 

 within the scores which won the prizes were well satisfied 

 with the results of their efforts. 



The sweepstake prize, which was bowled for by the 

 three members making the high score of the N. A. G. 

 and three members making the highest score of the S. 

 A. F., aroused great interest, and was won by Mr. C. L. 

 Seybold, superintendent of parks, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The 

 prize was a silver tea service of four pieces presented by 

 President Waite. The Astoria, N. Y., team carried off 

 the honors of the team tournament. 



The ne.xt day, April 10, the N. A. G. invited the visit- 

 ing ladies to a bowling contest at Thum's Alleys. A 

 number of prizes were contributed by the N. A. G. mem- 

 bers and of the S. A. F. and the New York Florists' Club. 

 While the ladies' tournament was not as well attended 

 as that of the men, it was nevertheless equally well en- 

 joyed by those who participated in it. , 



The complete scores will be found on page 496 of 

 this issue under National Association and Local Society 

 doings.
