Last night's bowling was unique, in
asmuch as it was one of the first league
matches ever rolled in this city at
which ladies were present. Numerous
handsome women watched the balls
shoot down the alleys from tho side
lines and the clapping of daintily
.loved hands that followed every strike
and spare proved great incentives ,to
the muscular youths handling the big
spheres. Captain Wardell had the
night's high average, 167 1-3, and Duf
field made the highest Individual score,
196, making a speedy finish of three
strikes.
Shryer led the Black Diamonds with
an average of 165, and was also the
night's second men. He distinguished
himself by culling several bunches of
three consecutive strikes. The detailed
scores follow:

they found they coutd not secure 11

the Kelall Grocers' association.
When the totttlne business had been
finished Chairman Calpin asked If
there wan anything further to eomc
before the meeting. Mr. Alworth re
plied that they might take up the mat
ter of admitting the extra councilmpu.
Mr. Coleman moved to adjourn and the
motion prevailed. There were but a
few of the "extras" about the coun
cil chamber.
chairman Calpin did not announce
his committees as was expected ho
would do. When nsked the reason for
the delay he with the usual smile
remarked: "Great bodies move slow
ly." SELECT COMMITTEES.
Chairman Chittenden of select coun
cil announced the committees of that
body. He did not recognize Mr Roche,
as a member, leaving blank the places
on committees that are to be given

TO DRAL WITH CHASKR.
Messrs. Melvin, demons, Evans, Oli
ver nnd McAndiew were npponted a
special committee to deal with the
"chaser," and Messrs. Wagner, Merrl
man, Evans and Melvin to pass upon
the recorder's communication announc
ing the appointment of heads of de
partments, which communication was
refened because council did not want
to go on record as recognizing the ofliee
of delinquent lax collector as a sepan
nte oil!;--.
Tbe rc'sr .ilou of Mr. Roche was le
eelved and ,u eepteil, after Mcbsi-s. Mel
vin, Olive" and Clemons had expressed
regret at his departure from the coun
cils and nppi eentlon of his worth as a
legislator,
Mr. Melvin said: "it Is, with tegiet
that 1 see Mr. Roche leaving: the coun
cil. Ho Is an able man and has proved
himself lit. not only to sit In tho de
liberations of a city's council, but bus
given every evidence of ability to fill a
chair In any legislative body, ho It oven
tho Vnlted States senate. The citizens
appiovo of Recorder Moil's action in
.-electing him for his cabinet, and when
.Mr. Rocho has hud opportunity of
showing hlrt capabilities, they will huvo
cause to say of him. 'Well done, thou
geod and faithful servant.' "
Mr. Oliver seconded these viuw's In a
few appropriate words, and Mr. t 'lem
ons paid ti Unite to tho excellent woilc
Mr. Roche had done In helping to put
tho city In shape for its recent trans
ition. "It was Mr, Roche inoro than
anyono else," he added, "who per
suaded the iccorder to recall his veto
of tho reorganization ordinance, and It
was ulso Mr, Roche who framed the
supplementary reorganization meusmo.
There Is no gainsaying: that there is
excellent rouncllnianle timber In the
Seventh waid, but I doubt If It will bo
able to send a man hero who can nil
Mr, Roche's place."
SPECIAL "ELECTION.
Thero wns some discussion as to how
to proceed to fill the vacancy, Mr.
Clemons otfered 11 resolution direr-ting
tho iccorder to proclaim a special elec
tion, and it was refeuetl to the judic
iary committee and city solicitor to
learn whether or not this wus the
proper method.
Ah regards the clause of tint now nut,
providing that no ordinance or tcso
lutlon shall bo passed Anally on the
samo day It Is introduced, Chairman
Chittenden ruled' that this would nut
prevent a resolution fiom bclnjr adopt
ed forthwith by tho body In which It
originated; the other council could not,
however, pass It on the Mint- day.
New measures were liitio'liiccil an

INSTITufFfNDS TODAY.
Addresses That Were Delivered Yes
terday Before the Teachers
of the City.
The teachers' Institute Is rapidly
drawing to a close. 'Yesterday wns the
next to the best day, and this morn
ing the final session will bo -held.
Perhaps the most Interesting lecture
delivered yesterday was 'given by Pro
fessor T. O. MendenhuH, who gave his
views on "The Interior of tho rlnrth."
He refuted the generally held theory
that tho Interior of the earth is com
posed of a molten mass and contended
that the earth is a solid compact mass
down to its very centre. Ho admitted
that tho temperature of the earth In
creases the farther down one goes, but
claimed that it does not necessarily
follow that it must bo liquid.
At tho afternoon session the pro
fessor spent over an hour In recounting
some of his reminiscences of Japan,
where between 1S70 and S7, bo was
professor of physics in tho Imperial
university at Tokio.
Miss L. .T. Kglnton continued her
talks on the "Rational" system of
teaching' reading at the morning ses
sion and gave an interesting account
in ho nfternoon of the pension idea
as applied to the teachers in the pub
lic schools ol the borough of Brooklyn
in the city of New Yotk.
In the morning an able address on
"Success and Failure in the Business
ot Teaching" was delivered by Pro
fessor H. S. rulnam. of Towandn.
Many teachers were failures, he said,
because of their inability to discipline
their pupils.
The musical features of yesterday's
programme were varied in tlielr nature.
They included .sight singing by a class
of children ticm No. S" school and
choruses by pupils of thu High school.
A violin solo was reacTorod in the
morning by Mlsj Million Hill, aged 14
years.
TERMINAL IS PURCHASED

angular Plot at the Western End
of Roaring Brook Bridge.
Tito triangular tract belonging to the

pany, and there. In all likelihood, will
It have its terminal.

tion contemplates a station' platform

Some of These Pisces Order for

Other City Hall Doings.
The ball room bar has not to go.
Orders were Issued yesterday by Di
rector of Public Safety Hitchcock dl

ling to Inntlttitu a crusade against
them at mice.
Complaints have been lodged with
the director that balls nro being held
nightly. In vmious parts of tho city,
at whloh thero Is no end ot turbulence
and .immorality s a result of young
men and women being made chunk by
the bovorage there dispensed.
It was news to the director that In
toxicants were being sold at danco
halls, and he expressed surprise that
It hud been permitted so long. It Is
understood that the director proposes
to tr nt these ball room bara the same
as uny unlicensed saloon.
There Is Just a question ns to wheth
er or not the police deportment can
Interfere with these bars In every in
stance. In the central city, the dance
halls, or at least some of them, tiro
situated over hotels or restaurants,
and by an arrangement between the
lnndlord of the hotel and the owner of
the hall, the dance hall bar has been
made part of the hotel premises, and
whatever intoxicants are sold at the
denco are sold under authority of the
hotel keeper's license,
TO ISSUE AN ORDER.
