During Recess 



New York Bowlers. 



One needn't bowl at all— just sit or 

 stand and watch the gyrations— the 

 wireless idiosyncrasies the hopes and 

 valedictions, the individual peculiari- 

 ties of those who bowl, and on. can 

 have a good night's fun with a deep in- 

 sight to the funnyisms of human na- 

 ture. 



But, above all. 'tis indeed good to 

 meet and Chat and forget the troubles 

 connected with business. A new life 

 seems to have given strength to the 

 howlingly inclined of this city, with 

 Scott president, and Chadwick cap- 

 tain, and a jolly crowd of good fellows 

 behind them with plenty of matches 

 with local teams in prospect We are 

 sure to have many a merry night on 

 the all.vs this winter. The scores on 

 Friday night were:
